Subject: cruise control actuator for throttle by wire?

I saw a few days back where someone mentioned using a cruise control
actuator to adjust idle speed. This is probably way silly, but I
wondered if anyone has tried to use a cruise control actuator (and
a feedback system, etc) to make a throttle by wire system? I imagine
that the system would be too slow at least, and probably too inaccurate
to boot... but I'd be interested in hearing anyone's experiences with
any similar project.

   Thanks in advance,
   Chris C.

I DO have a bunch of Electromotive TEC II bin files for a VR6 (including
turbo maps). 

I DON'T have Motronic VR6 bin files (and not many people do!).

The OBD I VR6 can "blink" out the fault codes using the check engine
light. All you need is a jumper wire to bridge the data connectors for a
couple seconds, and the codes will blink out. You should buy a Corrado
Bentley Manual for OBD I VR6 stuff, or get the lame Golf/Jetta Bentley
Manual for OBD II knowledge. BTW, you can't blink out OBD II codes like
you can OBD II. 

Now, what are you doing Alan? I have extensive experience with the VR6,
so I can offer advice.
