Forum noob!

Hey guys, names Mike.
Im From upstate NY
Driving an 06 r53.




I have a few questions and no amount of forum surfing has helped.

Recently I plugged in an obd2 scanner trying to read live data to check out my IAT.
I've come to the realization that my car never gets 100% throttle. I only see 85-86% throttle input. I'm getting no check engine or EML light.
I've been looking for voltage specs
So I can test the pedal voltage to see if that's my issue.
I've been reading these forums for months and finally decided it's time to become a member

Welcome to NAM! Great looking car. Love the dark gray with black top. Mine is light gray with the same top. Sharp wheels, too! I'll check with our tech guy and see what he says! In the meantime, here's a handy maintenance guide:

R50/r53

The accelerator pedal uses two Hall sensors to detect position:

Hall sensor 1: 0.5 to 4.5 volts driver request

Hall sensor 2: 0.5 to 2.0 volts plausibility check.

Hope this helps!
