actually your not supposed to remove it at all. It doesn't restrict throttle it stops your throttle from openijg up too much. Mitsubishi would put it there to amke the car slower, think about it.

well itll only go 100% open???? i dont think its gonna ever make it to 110% open with or without the rubber block, hehe. And that little block is in the way of mine opening all the way. I think the Throttle body is made so it stops when the plate thing is flat and dosnt just flip over and start to close when you put the pedal to the floor, but like always im not sure.

You can damage the throttle cable or TPS or such if you pull on the whole thing too hard. It is there to keep you from damagaing stuff when you slam your foot on the gas.

It's the mounting shroud for the NO2 switch.

[FORMONTOYA]

your dad put it there when you were asleep so you would not get any speeding tickets.

 

[Eagletalon2fst4]

, it was there when i bought the car, its the same color as my interier and everything...

 

[Eagletalon2fst4]

nm i figured it out my self thanks

I search and sifted through my Chilton book but found nothing.

What is the red button underneath the gas pedal? I have never seen them on any of my other cars?

 

[dave99gst]

got a pic ?

 

[guitarhero14]

Sure thing. The only thing i can think of that it is, is the throttle position sensor. Thank you for the reply.

 

[bloody_angel111]

i have that same thing on my car but i have no idea what it is, i just ignore it anymore

its a switch for the ecu and the egr...at wot the egr closes and stays shut so you can pass a car or do whatever required wot...and its what lets the ecu know you're at wot and lets it activate the rev limiter and the top speed limiter

I think you'll find that it's a bolt for the carpet and the plastic stop.

Steve is right. It is just a stud sticking out of the floor that the plastic stop bolts to. And by the color of the stud, I assume your car is red, right?

 

[prophecy7115]

No its NAAAWWWSSSS!

 

[selmerguy]

what are you guys talking about. that is the top secret super turbo, nitrous, water injection turbo booster button. also known as a 10mm bolt

Don't push it, your manifold will blow.

If what everyone else says is true, where did this come up from?

"then me and the mad scientist will have to rip apart the block and replace the piston rings you just fried"

No. The TPS is what tells the ECU when you go WOT.
