JW1982 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 On the Focus MK2/Mk2.5 with manual gearbox the throttle response can easily be improved by changing the "Autotransmission" setting to "Sport" using ELMconfig. On the Focus MK2/MK2.5 the throttle pedal is connected directly to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster is basically the gateway that converts the analog throttle pedal signal to a digital CANbus signal which is distributed to the PCM. On all automatic gearbox versions the "Autotransmission" setting changes both the response of the gearbox and the throttle. However this setting is also a known hack to improve the throttle response on all manual gearbox versions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigal83 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Sounds interesting, but I ordered a pedalbox yesterday 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigal83 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Well, the box should be here Saturday so I'll get it fitted and I'll post up my opinions as to whether it does as claimed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigal83 Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 ok, the box arrived Saturday so I set about fitting it. A very simple process but ***** hard to get at the plug on the throttle pedal, a few cuts on hands. Took it for a quick spin and the difference is definitely noticeable. I'll do a few more indepth tests as I go to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I had Elmconfig running, I noticed it is set to adaptive by default...just didn't want to change it then, as I wasn't sure if anything else had to be changed alongside it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
