What is the bolt behind the gas pedal for besides a stop? and can i adjust it to get more throttle, the engine is very weak and sluggish when starting off until i reach the higher rpms. is there anyway to help with this also? |  |  | | 06-02-2011, 11:09 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2008 Location: Austin Posts: 3,059 |
It's a button for nitrous. You slam the gas pedal down, and boom you have 300hp at your feet. Your can is probably empty from previous owners, so you probably have to fill it up. It's located next to the spare tire in the back. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt

You have other issues. No crack in the intake? __________________ ...steven

I lol'd maverix, thanks.
but seriously, whats the purpose? Just a stop?
Matt318, like Steve mentioned, check all your rubber hoses and boots for cracks, I bet you'll find one. Have you given her a tune up (plugs, wires, oil, ect...)? __________________  | | | | | 06-03-2011, 02:12 AM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |

yeah, the guy i bought it from is a master mechanic, he replaced the head water pump and radiator and plugs and wires i think. also i forgot to mention, i think the maf is bad because every so often the engine will almost stall, rpms dont matter. | | | | | 06-03-2011, 09:44 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: PA Posts: 1,906 |

That button downshifts into the lowest safest possible gear. So if your car is in 4th gear while doing 45 and you press the throttle all the way and press the button, it will immediately shift into second. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt
