It might be a while before I end up with definitive results, but so far, this is the only item that I can find that didn't check out.

Since the device is a limit switch that would otherwise be normally open, I see no harm in running it with this device unplugged.

While the car is a dedicated track car an not exactly street legal, I may take it out for a run, but won't really know until I can make it to the track next summer. It would, however, be good to know if it is really fixed this time or not, so I may chance taking it out or finding an autoX to at least give it a workout and try to see if problem is gone.

If my theory is correct, I wonder how it would respond to just running off of the O2 sensor by disconnecting the WOT (throttle position sensor).... I wonder at what point the fuel maps run out of gas when tricking the car to run at part throttle.

I also wonder if timing is affected (retarded) when the ECU thinks it's at higher elevation.

Too bad I can't find FR Wilke. I'd like to get some of thier information on Motronic.
