That's who I'm going to when finances permit. What year ECU is running this engine?

A part throttle boost switch but replaced with a vac switch. No clue if it would work and it seems archaic. As you achieve atmospheric pressure in the manifold a NC under vacuum switch flips to a full 5v signal through a .5v diode. ECU sees 4.5v full throttle. Ignore the red x part of the ground tracing.

It took me a moment to wrap my head around that.

An interesting thought. I'm not sure how practical it is, but interesting.

My 4yr old son and I were coloring. He takes a look at it and says I'm not that good at coloring.

The apple didnt fall far from the tree. While I was cleaning I found a few .5v diodes. If you are interested PM me. You would still need a switch.

Something along these lines but 74kpa may be too low.
