Evening out TPS (Throttle Position Sensor)

[aandu]

I find the throttle on the CIVIC a bit too sensitive. From the top of the throttle position, the first centimeter of throttle travel is the most important for Lean Burn,etc.

The article below is for the Insight:

The question is would we able to do something similar for the HCH1, HCH2 or even the Accord Hybrid?

Would be grateful if someone could tell me which plug (eg: the IMA C&C fits to bottom plug) and wire/line colour is used by the TPS.

I am tempted to try this circuit out for the HCH1.

Go for it. It should work fine. Don't go too nuts with your cap size/resistor values though unless you don't mind the accelerator pedal feeling like mush.

This help for me. They are two ways check your throttle cable.they are two.
Cruse control and gas, look at where the holder of the cable is holding the cable.. nick it with a knife if you want to put it back in the same place.
after push the cable all the way in so the bolt on the cable is flush with the cable holder.its about 1-1/2 " your throttle petal will rise about 1" or more. The petal range is longer so the small distance of gliding and lean burn is a bit larger.
If you don't want to do this you can do this, I did both as I drive useing my heel and foot just turning it, as I want the gas throttle a bit higher its more natural. Cut a rubber piece about about 1"x 1" x 1/4 thick. Tape this at the bottom of the throttle with black electric tape many times going around. the travel will also be longer.
