Default Anyone tried cutting 2 of the TP sensor Wires?

After speaking with MUSTANGPARTS74 for a while now, he has said that he had several months of idle and throttle response trouble. The cure that he found came from looking at a 93 cobra that had 2 wires (the orange and black) wires cut?

The first question that comes to my mind is "how can taking wires away from a sensor help"

I would think taking those wires off might cause it to go to a programmed fail-safe parameter, which is ok to keep it from dying , but especially not for performance.

Anybody ?

CJ, your reasoning sounds about right, but also Ghostdogs, the problem i see with the fix is at WOT, without a reference voltage how would the EEC know what voltage is now WOT?

Will have to check some EEC notes i have to verify.
