Subject: Re: full throttle switch boost?
Content-Type: text/plain
I've seen jumper wires on these and when I tested the switches they were
still good.
Personally I've never seen any reaction when I floor my van on the road
or in the drive.
Even activating the switch while I'm in the engine compartment.
It must have some relationship to "well it is supposed to work" theory.
