Jakeru,

Great write-up, thanks! This will be very useful for anyone who has that issue of Sticktion in the pedal.

I have a separate question for you or anyone who has this assy opened and readily accessible.

What is the resistance range of this potentiometer (throttle position sensor)? I am assuming it is a potentiometer (variable resistance) and not a hall effect transducer. The reason for my question is that in my Boxster Ev conversion I need a throttle that puts out 0-5K ohms to control the DC motor controller. If this potentiometer puts out 0-5K ohms my job will become much easier. Otherwise I have to find another way and use a 'potbox'...

Also if someone knows where the wires from this throttle sensor end up exactly in the engine harness/compartment...

Any info anyone can provide will be helpful...

Thanks.
