This subject may have been beat to death but I haven't found an optimal solution yet. :doorag:
I'm seeking a way to temporarily disable the "throttle kill" feature of the VSS when cornering at low speeds or making a sharp turn from a stop. I get embarrassed when I'm only going 10 MPH and the engine sputters when attempting to accelerate out of a turn. :opps:
Modifications I've already made to help avoid VSS engagement:
- Set shock dampers to 5.
- Set front tire pressure to 18 PSI and rear tire to 28 PSI.
- Considering a stiffer sway bar.
To temporarily disable VSS (low speeds only), I'm considering:
- Add a switch to temporarily override the rear sensor signal with the front sensor signal. This appears to be a solution others have tried with success. No negative DPS or ABS effects.
- Reduce steering angle feedback to the ECU, thus delaying VSS engagement.
- Close the parking brake sensor circuit (without actually engaging the parking brake). Not sure what this will do, if anything.
- Close the brake pedal sensor circuit (without actually engaging the brakes) to keep the ECU in ABS-only mode. This looks promising and very simple to implement if it works.
For the record, I'm NOT looking to burn donuts in the street. I simply want to accelerate out of a reasonable turn without the engine cutting out. :thumbup:
For example, you can easily disable the "throttle kill" feature (DTSC) of the stability control system in an AWD Volvo with the press of a button. It still engages the braking system (with YAW sensor input) to keep everything under control but allows power slides. In fact, the only time I leave DTSC on anymore is in the rain or other adverse conditions.
