discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 5m 15d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 15/01/15 03:52 PM Share Posted 15/01/15 03:52 PM (edited) As aboveOr turn key to on position but don't start the car. Take off the crossover etc in front of the throttle body and watch the butterfly as you push the pedal. It won't go a full 90° though I'm pretty sure. More like 85°? Also, it will shake in position, I'm told this is normal (by the guy above actually hahaha).A vid of mine: If you feel your car is sluggish try cleaning the throttle body and boost solenoid (REMEMBER TO RECONNECT THE HOSE OR IT OVER BOOSTS!)http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/31329-boost-solenoid-maintenance/ Edited 15/01/15 03:55 PM by -Stever- Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89931-checking-for-full-throttle/#findComment-1524162 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since it's electronic, you can log a commanded throttle position but also the actual throttle position, if I remember correctly? IE foot to the floor doesn't mean full throttle is what the car will actually decide to do.
