LFP single blade owners step inside

[QWKRN U]

Anyone got theirs on the car yet? Mine is on and Ive having the hanging idle issue. When you release the throttle it doesnt return all the way to the stop. Tooner mentioned it probally needs to have the blade clearance checked. anyone else having this issue?

 

[QWKRN U]

btt anyone else?

I have one with my Whipple set-up and have no issues at all. On the dyno my tuner had to adjust the idle screw a little bit to let in more air at idle. That’s about it. Check with your tuner on this. The TB shouldn’t have any blade clearance issues.

Myself and at least one other person (WS6JJP) that has PM'd me are having the hanging/sticking issue. Gonna touch base with LFP today.

LFP has great customer support so you should get your problem resolved!

I know John (WS6JJP) has done everything to try to get the throttle body to work properly but has had no luck. have you and John tried getting a hold of Mark at LFP to see if it is a "known issue" with their tb's?

 

[Wicked46]

Are you guys having the same issues as the people with Accufab's?

From reading past threads, it seems to be common with every brand of single blade TB! There was a process posted by Doug from Billetflow (I think) to fix this issue. Part of it involved removing battery power to re-set the pcm so it could re-learn the new setup.

Spoke with LFP today. And they are taking care of it.

How are they taking care of it? Are they replacing it, sending parts, instructions...

Just bought my LFP TB for my whipple setup. Hopefully it is problem free but if there is a problem mark @ LFP is great to deal with so i have no worries.

i also spoke with Mark from LFP today....as usual he is resolving the whole issue, he has been a stand up guy ever since i started dealing with him back in 2004. He offered to send me another one and as soon as he receives the old one back he is going to have it looked over to find out exactly what the problem is. According to him he has only received 2 complaints (me and QWKRN U) so before he makes any changes he wants to know if the problems only exist in those 2 TB's. It would make no sense to make any running permanent changes which might cause other problems.

I agree. diagnose the known the issue before sending out mass recalls and unknown fixes. LFP is standup in my book for handling it the right way. Just wish they had Black Throttle bodys in stock lol.

 

[Wicked46]

I've bought MANY MANY parts from those guys and have nothing but good things to say about them. QWKRN U, dont you have the black TB? I thought I saw it in your Whipple thread.

 

[QWKRN U]

Yes I have a black throttle body.

 

[NateV8]

I had the same problem with my car. I just put a spring on the TB that keeps it closed when I'm not on the throttle.

 

[oldbones]

No problems with mine

 

[NateV8]

Works great now.
