Auto maker use tricks.
The 2005 Corolla has acceptable power overall but is a slug accelerating on the highway.
A power plant is what it is. Nothing more.
They decided to "spruce it up" by tweeking the throttle curve rheostat/potentiometer/whatever so that 10% throttle becomes 25% throttle.
A little gas becomes a lot of gas.
(oooh look at all this powah!)
I lube the cable and butterfly and OEM air filters peddle not sticking etc but it sucks in the wintertime on ice.
Just another stupid electronic thing to have to have to out-think.
