E-gas accelerator pedal service

[Racer Boy]

This is great! My car has the throttle stiction issue that you described, so I'll be taking on this project now.

Thanks for the excellent pictures and the tutorial.

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.
