Throttle lag and response - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I bought a PLX Kiwi. I've been using it in sensor mode. I discovered tonight that there is a throttle lag and it does not open beyond 81%. No matter how much I floor it it won't go beyond 81%. On acceleration it will pause, go to 50%, pause and then 70%, then to 80%. On passing there is that same pause. I would like to say half a second to a second, but I'm guessing.

I know it's DBW (drive by wire), but this is a big lag. Also, it doesn't open beyond 81%. This can only mean that DBW is preventing full performance of the engine. Do you think this is true?
