Sorry dude, but we've discussed pretty much everything under the sun at this point, especially things like this that are integral to the control and driving of the car.
edit: I'm sure that there are people that didn't know it, and I'm not trying to put you down, its just you said "don't know if its been mentioned" ... pretty much everything at this point has been. Just letting you know that. Thanks for posting stuff though

6 pages of discussion between the three threads ... if you need more i think following up on one of those would probably be better because that way all of the old info would be in the same place as the new info you are looking for

What used to be adjustable by screwdriver is now adjustable by way of an excel spreadsheet. Such is the way of new technology.

Grantsdale who cares! If it has been discussed before so what. Maybe you've been here too long. If everything has been said that can be said like you say then why do you log in here. What more can you get out of this web site other than ridiculing everyone else. If people stop posting then this becomes a referance page not an active web site. Eventually we'll be talking about many things and oh no this site may even talk about other things like the wax we use or oil we choose. So lighten up and I don't care if you hear the questions 5 times. We don't want to hear from you. Since when did you become the site modurator?

Thanks Joe, I wasn't aware of this as well. I wasn't a member here 10 months ago and just never thought to search for any discussions about throttle operations.

Hey Bill, did you know that you can search for topics about car wax and see what everyone really likes? Just kidding-I agree

yeah i think its a cool idea but it could also be more electronics to go wrong im just thinking in my head "what happens when a servo strips a gear and the throttle gets stuck half open?" i know not likely to happen on a new car but im just thinking about in 20 years when some carbon gets built up behind the blades lack of an alternative way to close it like a spring might be a problem.....
but im sure that ford has already took into consideration this might happen and has some sort of fail safe in place.
just my thoughts on it but i now understand how they got the traction control to work on a stick car they just start shutting the throttle down
as where in an automatic car you would just start slipping the torque converter.....
still cool to see the same technology that mercedes benz uses on their cars
cool huh? i think so

You made a thread yesterday about supporting the site. Do you know what the site costs consist of? Bandwidth. Do you know what eats up lots of bandwidth? Multiple threads on the same subject. Yes, every new thread and post does eat bandwidth, but doing a search and reading already posted material eats on average less than .02% of what creating a new thread does. When you create a new thread, everyone gets sent the information when they go to the forum. When you do a search and pull up the old information, only you are getting it. You can't have it both ways, saying "support themustangsource.com" and "who cares how many multiple threads there are?"
Look, we can go back and forth forever. I am just trying to help out. I come off as crass and an donkey doughnut, and I know that. I apologize to everyone for that. However, thats how I am. Can't change it. Wouldn't be where I am today without it (which is darn good but I don't want to talk about personal stuff here).
End.
