Here's another good question.... Why is full throttle only registering at 85%? I know of quite a few trucks that when logging at wot, it only reads 85%?????

Throttle reads in degrees. 12 is actually 12* plate positon (IDLE)- if it goes to 0 the car/truck will stall (No IAC).

The MAX is 90*. Most will go to about 85-87 so it doesn't slam the stop, burn up the motor and make a racket. Read the MAP value to make sure you are going to WOT.
