For Those With V-afc

sometimes....................my v-afc will have the throttle goin up to like 1% when im not even pressin it. sometimes it will just go away and stay at 0%.

i have this on my 2002 tl-s. what do u think it is?? u think its cause its automatic???????

when the throttle goes up and down 1%, if i floor the throttle, it says ..........100%,99.9%,100%,99.9%,100% back and forth...it doesnt stay on 100%

Sorry man I didn't notice anything wrong with mne. When I was off the throttle it stayed steady at 0.0% and when I was at WOT it was constant 100.0% I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you should contact someone at Apex and ask them. When you find out, post the conclusion to the problem. Beacuse I would like to know just incase mine starts to do that in the future.

Bug230 how much did it cost for the install of your V-AFC in the sunglass holder? How much did you pay for your V-AFC?

bug-vtech, How did your tuning go? Do you know your before/after performance gains??? How about your 'backside' opinion?

I postponed the tune b/c I'm talking to a speed shop about installing new cams for my TL-S. I don't want to pay to tune the AFC before the cams and then once again after the cams, if I get them.

If you want the smoothest ride I belive you want to stick with stock or Comptech springs. But if you wan't to sacrifice a small amout of comfort for looks and better handeling. I would go with the H&R sportsprings. I love mine more and more every day.
