Throttle Lag On DBW - Toyota Yaris Forums

RedRide · 06-24-2009, 01:02 PM

I don't notice any throttle lag at all with my new Yaris with a manual tranny.

What was described in the original post seems like a defect IMO. It is not only anoying but, downright dangerous as well!
If it was me, I would go to the dealer and report the problem ASAP.

Not having access to 100% WOT on demand is a real problem as far as I'm concerened.
Perhaps as previouslty alluded to in other TBW threads, the less than 100% throttle is a setting for those who drive for economy while more aggresive settings are achieved for those who drive for performance?

I do know that my Celica (with a cable throttle) is set up in a simular way and will tune its self acording to your driving style. I frequently have to go for WOT, etc. otherwise, it will start to tune itself for more economy and less performance.
