• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2013 RT throttle issues

I recently was on a long trip in hot weather,and had to stop for some construction for about 20 minutes, when I started up I had no throttle response. This happen twice since then, has any one else had the problem with the fly by wire throttle?
 
Don't know..!!

not that familiar with this system but also have not seen problems with it. Did you check to see if you have any codes that could point to the problem. May not be the throttle at all. Hope someone here has more experience with it...:thumbup:
 
So you shut it off for 20 minutes then had the problem? On my 2014 I have had problems with lack of throttle response in extreme heat taking off in first gear but the Spyder had been running for a long time. It has only happened a couple of times but if it happens more I will have it looked it. Not a good thing when you are pulling out into traffic and it doesn't want to go. I don't remember having that problem on my 2013 RT, instead it would throw codes P0127 and P0217 when it was hot.

I didn't get any codes but the last time I had no throttle response, I turned the key off and then back on and let it cycle through the checks and then started it again and the throttle came back. It's in the shop today so I'll let you know what they find. I have not had the issue you are having, of course different engine, different programming between the two years.

Headed out on a 1600mile trip tomorrow morning with my wife so we'll see if the shop has fixed it.
 
I have had no response for just a few seconds on start-up once and a while (would just idle) but thats it.....
