The dirty throttle body thread made me wonder what kind of symptoms should we expect on the newer vehicles with no throttle cables? My guess is that it will throw a code even before we might feel the resistance with our foot. If not, it could be big trouble.

I was thinking about this the other day. There would be no resistance in the pedal though, just too much or too little acceleration. Only time will tell.

I'm sure the truck will throw a code or something before it gets too bad. If not, give it a few years for a recall to show up.

the covette has been like that for 9 years now and no recalls that i know of.

And the trucks have been using them since 2001 in the GMC C3 and all the Denali's. No problems at all. They still need cleaning just like the cable type do.
