The reason for having drive by cable... For sure it is not rational. I had trouble in the past with limp mode (with the Reflash set-up, but the reflash was not the cause).

Since I want to stick many years again with my car, I decided to minimise all electronic module. The DBW set-up is designed to meet pollution control, and to suit many device like stability control, traction control and bla bla bla. In case of trouble, a DBW throttle body is very expensive too. Drive by cable is more easy to diagnostic in case of trouble.

Other good thing with the drive by cable is: it is more easy to have a set-up to adjust the gas pedal relative to the brake pedal for the heel (how we spell that, I am french) and toe. Also, when I am working into the engine, I don't need to go inside the car to open the throttle body.

But it is few bad things: More sticky pedal feel; more pedal travel; very expensive switch over (engine hardness is just too much expensive).

For sure, it is rational at all. An Elise is not rational too!
