FocusCanada Forums

So I read this in the Focal Jet forums so I thought I'd give it a try. For the 08 Focus the throttle body is computer controlled and apparently if you run a ground wire from your battery to your throttle body you get better throttle response, so I gave it a try.

The cable

Step 1

Step2

Step3

Thats it!


Well I honestly didn't think this would do anything at all, I was wrong. The throttle response is amazing! The engine seems to idle smoother and I can get it bouncing off the rev limiter a lot quicker then before. This is definitely a worth wild mod that only costs $6. It doesn't give you more power but it lets you get your rpm's up quicker. :D

Oh this is just a pic of my Distance to empty, its never wright on but its with in 25km.
:huh:
