V35 Accelerator "touchy" At Highway Speed

[GeeDog]

Hi all

I don't do many highway miles in my 350GT, but have done a few trips in the last few weeks. I find it very hard to maintain a constant speed - much harder than any car I've ever driven before. The slightest change in accelerator pedal pressure changes the speed by 10 - 20 kph up or down, and I find myself concentrating on the speedo rather than the road.

Does anyone else have this, and is there an easy fix? Obviously cruise control would work, but price seems to be very high. Can the TPS be re-mapped? Is there something wrong with my car?

I couldn't live without cruise control in my V35 - it is awesome and worth every cent imho.

One of the hassles with electronic throttles unfortunately. You can buy a 'Throttle controller', a few companies make them, which can soften the resistor on the pedal (or make it more responsive). I used to use one for the same reason.

Thanks for the input. I'va also got a Kluger with drive-by-wire and it doesn't have the same issue, so it isn't all DBW's. I'll look into the throttle controllers.

never had a problem with this on mine, but it is a 6sp. However, I don't do a lot of highway driving.
