I was going to do this during the weekend but changed my mind. For now, I am going to leave it as it is. I will look to adjust it when I can measure the voltage of the APS.

A wise decision. It's best to be correct and use the proper tools. I backed mine off from the full forward adjustment because of what I saw on the scan tools. The throttle response is not as good now - but it is better to be safe!

Hellooooooo.........Kia Tech
I think we need your input on this one please!!!

I really didnt see any increase in rpm whatsoever mines still rests at 700rpm or less just somewhere around there and i have to say i made the adjustment and is fully forward. But honestly i really dont see an increase in rpm at all. Im drving the 2.4sx auto.

It SOUNDS like a great way to get rid of the DBW dead spot. Just make sure you haven't changed something else for the worse in the process, IMO.

ok info incoming so hold your keyboards above your heads lol.
{Ignition timing is controlled by the electronic control ignition timing system. The standard reference ignition timing data for the engine operating conditions are preprogrammed in the memory of the ECM (Engine Control Module).

The engine operating conditions (speed, load, warm-up condition, etc.) are detected by the various sensors. Based on these sensor signals and the ignition timing data, signals to interrupt the primary current are sent to the ECM. The ignition coil is activated, and timing is controlled.}
Ok so heres my input on this- if im not mistaken when you accel the timing is advanced by the ECM. With that being said when you put your foot to the pedal and idle the engine up with the APS(accelerater position sensor) then timing advances. Now if your adjusting APS to 1.0v and above then the ECM is seeing movement from the gas pedal but not till after 1.0v Hope this makes sense lol

And by the way having the correct tools to adjust this makes it alot easier

Kia Tech save us! LoL

BTW WAVOOM is a REAL Kia Tech too...you should see all his Kia technical training diplomas...

If you reread his post (#85) I believe he is saying if you keep the volts at 1.0 or less you should be alright and will eliminate the dead spot.

You can...go to work for Kia and then attend all their training courses...LoL

Wow intresting

 

[DrewJones32]

this mod is a life saver. now if only i could afford to do some actual performance mods that would be great! anyone know of site where i could find turbos, inter coolers, or any pro parts?????

just build your own kit from various sites if you're good like that or wait for turbokits to set one up

Can anyone who's done this mod please confirm their cruise is still working for me?

 

[ForteGT2]

Mine is...confirmed! I've had no issues after adjusting and readjusting.

 

[BlueKoupSX]

Excellent mod, works perfect after a second adjustment. (first had me idling at 2000 rpm). I looked at the cover and noticed that the factory setting was all the way to the back of the car, which got pretty annoying pushing on the pedal and wondering when it's going to kick in. Got it adjusted to the front and was idling lil high, brought it back a bit and now it's a differentce between night and day.

Thanks for the great DIY.

Can you guys gimme some assistance with disconnecting the wires from the pedal assy? Im afraid of jamming my screw driver into some plastic and breaking my stuff life a noob. I read something about squeezing the clips.. but no matter how hard I squeeze with my hands I dont get a clicking sound. Do I pry the clip on the passenger side of the wire attachment with a screwdriver, and them slip it off? Thanks.

 

[ForteGT2]

I did not use a tool to get the wire harness off the top of the switch. The clip you need to move is near the top center of the connector on the passenger side. Should be able to just squeeze it with your fingers and you will hear a click. Then just easily "wiggle" the connector while you pull up on it.

 

[KorsaBlue]

hmm... Ill try again...

It looks like a U shaped clip correct? with more flexible plastic on the bottom bend of the U?

 

[KorsaBlue]

Wow! i got it. I never even had to adjust to the modification, it felt so natural. Thank you.
