In 13K miles I have killed the engine at least 100 times . . . - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have around 4000, to 4500 miles on it at the moment.

Agreed. Killing the engine now and then happens. Nobody is perfect. But a half second or quarter second delay of the throttle is simply not acceptable in my book. For years and years a simple direct connect throttle setup gave us instant throttle response. Now we have computerized "throttle by wire" and it's less responsive? It seems backward to me.

I plan to keep an eye out for a software modification.
