Default Re: Did you eliminate your Secondary Throttle Vacuum System?

I suggest if you are in there. Pull em. the secondary system is prone to vacuum failures and leaks and who drives without the car in full power anyway?

The secondary system has two benefits only. Lower emissions and better fuel economy. What you gain is about 1 second response in throttle time, a valley area free of the secondary system with multiple points of failure and the potential of what happened to me in #2014 NOT happening to you. Go boldly.

Debate over.

Hmmm, eliminates maintenance issues, removes potential catastrophic failures, and car runs better? Starting to sound like a really good idea.
