I've been studying my mechanical TB to see if there is a way
to keep the advantage of the groove while the engine is at idle
in order to make my engine more "hybrid-like".
I'm not getting the advantage of having the groove while
the engine is idling if no air is passing thru the groove because the TB is completely
closed.
I would like to bypass the idle-air controller (which is a TB bypass system itself!)
I've been looking at the mounting bracket for the throttle cables to see if
I can attach something adjustable there to hold the TB valve slightly open
at idle. If this works, then I can go ahead and block-off the idle air port
but still leave its electrical connector in place to hopefully avoid throwing
an engine code. Any other ideas about this out there?? thanks.
