AltezzaLink Manual Throttle conversion while retaining Ethrottle Idleup

[Drty30]

Hi Team,

Has anyone used one of these https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/premiumjapan/item/kit-001/?scid=af_gl_lnk_linkshare_paid_TnL5HPStwNw&siteID=TnL5HPStwNw-RCrg6eZChB.1vnsib9I33Q and retained the ac and cold start idle up functions on an altezza.

I have a customer car with one of these converters fitted and the supplier claims it is possible to retain the idle up functionality. 

After converting the throttle using the kit, the ethrottle motor does retain some control but the ethrottle system reports tracking errors and limits the car.

Its difficult to say that the parts are to blame for the tracking and idle up function.  

Has the car been properly tuned and has the ethrottle calibration process be done?

[Drty30]

Yes the car is mapped properly. The ethrottle calibration can’t be completed as the throttle is now cable controlled for the full sweep of the throttle blade. The parts allow for the ethrottle to operate only for idle up situations.

If you change ethrottle mode to setup mode, then all errors will be ignored, safeties disabled and I think your idle should work.

I will give this a try and report back.
