Yep, double-blind is the only way to scientifically test if you want to take the human factor out of the equation. More than likely it was just the heat of the day robbing the car of power, it happens pretty often in high compression engines (engine pulls timing to prevent problems). It would be quick and easy to wire up a temporary switch with long leads to the passenger seat if you really want to test it.

How would wiring a switch in make any difference, I am not following? It's convenient but connecting and disconnecting the brown wires achieves the same end. |

Simply for the purpose of a scientific test should you want to carry one out. The switch can just be wired as a temporary setup and held by the passenger. That way the switch state can be changed under various conditions without the knowledge of the driver to rule out any perceived effect.

I see your point. However, from my point of view a scientific test is that it can be subjective as well as objective. My method just happened to be subjective in this case. I don't tend to dismiss a "perceived effect" if it makes a continued impression. I very often notice things that other people just don't perceive. For example, the satellite radio reduces the throttle response when it's on; when FM or AM or CD is on, I notice no appreciable difference. |

Beyond that if an issue continues then you may have a grounding issue or potentially an IPDM issue. You can also evaluate the data on the ODBII port for throttle pedal position as well as throttle output to rule out any issue with the pedal output voltages.
