Default 99% ??

I was playing with the scan gauge and noticed that my maximum throttle percent is only 99%.
What'* up with that :?:

The new O2 sensor is working much better than the old one. I should have changed it before WCBF cause my mileage has gone up significantly.

Haro has a recent post about this.... something to the effect that if he really pushes the pedal into the floorboard, he can feel a little bit more 'oomph' on the butt dyno. Not sure what this is all about, but you might want to examine the health and/or position of your TPS.

I don't know. I never monitored it before. Always kept the gauge set on Intake air temp, Trani temp, KR or fuel trim.

I have only been recently monitoring the other variables.

Are all your cars like this? Mine shows 100% at full tilt boogie. I would imagine Paul'* should be at 100% as well.

Really? As far as I can remember, my AutoXray always indicated 100%. We need to get lash in here and ask him, since he has my old scantool.
