Subject:Re: The two throttle valve switches, redux

Hi Mike, both the full throttle switch and the idle switch connect to the
same ECU pin (4) and they both ground it. So if the idle position switch
turns off the fuel, per Bentley, how does the ECU know to go into open
loop? That's the question. All it knows from the two switches is that the
throttle is between WOT and idle, but it can't tell WOT from idle.
