car do you have?
I've been driving manual tranny vehicles for 34 years, and, except when I was 16 and just got my license, I have never had as hard a time with a clutch as I am with my tC, thanks to the Drive By Wire hesitation. It is the ONLY thing on the car that I HATE!!!!
Thanks Hachi, I'm not a big fan of placing a screw there, I never know when it may fallout or something and the accelerator might get stuck. There's a quite simple fix I found on the mazda forum. It says to scrape away the paint under the battery to body connection. Maybe we'll try this out. It makes sense to me, I'm not sure if other members agree with this. I found the 07 Camry ground connection on the left side near the coolant reservoir. Its much better than putting addt'l wires. Its odd that car manufacturers will put paint on a grounding plane. Well, I have to try it out first.
