Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting I wouldn't recommend the throttle hangfix

I have a question...what's the problem with throttle hang if you have an ATX? I figured only the MTX guys were affected by it.

In between shifts and when you back off the throttle, the engine revs down slowly. I have that problem. The problem is very common on the duratec V6's.

Coming on here and insulting a deceased and respected CEGer for starters....

Check your PM's !

ZZZ.

Cracking the secondaries helped mind drop back to idle.
I believe I opened the secondary stop about 3/4 of a turned.
However I have an ATX, but still noticed engine braking immediately after throttle release. Of course mine's 98 never had the moose or excessive hang. But as I said I still noticed and the low end has a better feel.

You're damn lucky I didn't catch this earlier before this thread got a lot of responses.

Carry on, and I hope I don't catch you again making a similar statement.

Quote taken from the FAQ section:

"The first time I started it, the engine "hunted" before stabilizing at 750RPM idle. Did this when the lights were on and the AC. The ECU is learning the new
position of the valve for maintaining the programmed RPM, which is normal. After two or three starts, it acts normal."

Did you do this when resetting the computer? I did and have not had a problem(going on 2 years) since. I would consider the TH fix a priceless mod, saving me from the embarrassment of the moose. RIP Ray .

hello. Since you have the same exact model as mine, how big did you drill your hole? Did you put the cap in straight or tilted?

Hey by the way, why do I hear air going through the cap, while it's running? That noise is not supposed to be there.

I also have another problem. The power window one touch down feature on the drivers side doesn't work. The dealer said that I don't have that feature and that's a bunch of bull. I also read that they decontented that feature in 2000 only in the se fleet models not the se sport. Do you have that feature? If you do, the dealer is so full of [censored]!
