914World.com _ 914World Garage _ How far is the throttle plate supposed to open?

Posted by: JPA914 Apr 21 2016, 07:15 PM

Maybe a silly question, but after removing my air cleaner I noticed that my throttle body doesn't open fully. By "fully" I mean the plate being in a straight up, vertical position. Mine opens to a max of about 30 degrees less than this. Keep in mind, this is while manipulating the throttle at the engine, so it's not a pedal issue.

Is this normal position for WOT?

you are correct - vertical is full open -

awful performance is the result of your current condition

Thanks, I'll have to figure out what's hanging it up then.

Ah, didn't think of that. I'll check for sure.
