Wow, I'm excited!
After many months of being plagued on Spy Hunter with a gas pedal that was not returning the full range of values that it should be returning, I followed up on a tip that I received from an acquaintance.
I'd already tried recalibrating the POT a number of times from the service menu and would get random calibration results back from it. But the game played consistently once calibrated.
I swapped in a new absolute position board to see if that would help with the wild, random calibration results -- and the random calibration results disappeared and it started returning consistent (but slightly miscalibrated) results.
So I put the original absolute position board back in to confirm that it was the problem -- and it too was returning consistent (but slightly miscalibrated) results. This was shocking because previously it would return wild calibration values and now it was very consistent.
I have no earthly idea of why the old board was suddenly working reliably but I was then able to adjust the POT position to return a clean 0-1F result.
The trick (that I was tipped off to) is to loosen up the screws on either side of the POT, turn the POT slightly to manually adjust it, and then tighten the screws back up again. Presto -- it was exactly what I needed to tweak the max range up so I'm now getting a clean 0-1F result.
And the results in the game are dramatic! I could barely get to 1F before -- had to mash the pedal all the way to the ground. Now I can easily get to 1F and the car feels like someone added 300HP to it -- it's amazing! It now FEELS like the 800HP car that it's supposed to be.
Anyway, happy ending to this story and thought I'd share this adjustment tip with my fellow KLOVers because I'd never heard of it here (or anywhere else that google would get me).
