I actually feel like there is barely any response time. I actually became quite the fan on E-throttles. Lol

meh, the only thing i dislike is knowing that computers break, whereas cable throttle bodies last as long as the cars life.

On the base models, they're engineered for comfort and drivability - the throttle seems slow to react because it's made that way.

These is no delay whatsoever on my car - if there is a fault, it's that the lowest throttle imput holds it at 1500 rpm - there's nothing between that and the 750 idle. Can make traffic a little annoying at times, but it's not really a big issue.

no, you cannot. at least not if you want it to still be a full functioned car.

the reason the LE5 has always had an ETB is because it uses that system to control how the rest of the engine runs, so unless you're a pretty 1337 h4x0r, you'd have a hard time making all of the sensors happy.

what i don't understand is, why not just use an ETB of similar size, like one off of a trailblazer or impala?

Doesn't matter. And yes, you would need it to talk to the rest of the car. Trust me.

The very easy, simple, true answer is: No. It won't work.
