| Description of the problem | Throttle control, 2008 toyota tundra with 5. 7 l engine. Electronic "fly by wire" design has delays in advancing throttle on motor. Several complaints on tundra blogs about this as well. Could be dangerous when making u turns or in blind areas as there is a hesitation in the engine response. I asked dealer about adjusting and was told that unit was not adjustable. I have my vehicle in the shop now for a replacement of this unit. |
