So do all LS1 cars have this slow throttle response?
 

This drive by wire throttle lag sucks. Now I think I know why people say the LT1 feels stronger down low, because it responds quicker! But my 2000 SS will break the tires loose a lot easier than my 96 SS did. So is there a cure for this lag other than mashing the pedal to the floor faster? :scratch:

It's all in the tuning....

a kid i met at school tuned his to eliminate it! but i dont know the program he used!

Get the FOFF signal out!


I didn't realize Camaros got TBW.

LS1 fbodies arent drive by wire.

No? I thought they were in 99+....

- Justin

well they have throttle lag for some reason and there is a way to get rid of it why wouldnt they be drive by wire Little G,s car is

I just thought all the f-bodies were cables. I learned something.

His is a 3.8 though Phil, there were lots of differences between the cars.

nope, only the vettes from 97-02 were drive by wire. the GTOs may be by wire too, im not sure. LS2s are. but i do know camaros and bird LS1s were all cable driven. Vehicles with traction control are a little odd, The ASR option connects the gas pedal to a "motor" which then goes to the throttle blade. when asr is activated, the "motor" turns back and closes the throttle, in turn actually pushing the gas pedal back up.

99+ 3.8s were drive by wire

i guess so, but you would think that they would use the same technology!
i dunno i may be wrong

...but not all 99s were. That was a changeover year.

- Justin

if you say so.. lol i dont bother with the v6 info hehe

either way tuning could only help the problem!

OK, that is what I thought.

I thought they all were too, until one of our members (can't remember who off the top of my head) bought a throttle body after confirming that it was a 99 like his car, and one was cable, and one wire.

- Justin

yes, tuning should take care of it easily. I havent driven my SS in almost a year and a half so i cant remember what the throttle response was like. I'll be using HP tuners so if i notice any lag on mine, ill look into dealing with it.

may be some torque management and other fun stuff put in the a4 cars.......talk to foff

top off the blinker fluid

as far as I know, none of the LS1 F bodies were TBW. all were cable operated.

maybe its somehow connected to piston slap??

:werd:

PSBW? Yeah, it's a cable(which is actually wire) and the car has traction control. It's a sloppy cable for sure.

Tighten up the cable, get a tune and/or modify the T/B to put in a n idle adjusting screw. If you just bump the blade open a little bit it makes a big difference. Mine was always pretty instantaneous, do you have an A4? Could be torque managment or TCS
