Ever since I put the K&N FIPK & the 62mm tb in my XJ, the throttle has been really light. If I sneeze it jumps. If I hit a bump I give it gas. This has its advantages on the road, but really gets me in trouble sometimes when I need to finesse the pedal on the rocks. Too many times I gave it a bit too much when I should have merely tapped it (and I was really trying). Is there a way to correct this?

I know all sorts of smart comments pop into your heads, but this is a genuine concern, so please spare me ...

go to your local parts store and buy a package of throttle springs. pick out a good stiff one and hook it along side the one that is currently there. Had the same problem on my YJ

Cool, sounds good. Thanks for the suggestions. Never knew there was such a thing, but where is the throttle spring located?

its the 62mm tb... the taper that is in the stock tb slows down the air entering the intake man. when you take that taper out the air rushes in. thats why boring out your tb give you that "crisp" throttle response

Theres not a return spring on the t/b just a suggestion on helping out a heavy foot.

I figured the TB had a lot to do with it. I bought it off eBay a while back and I do like it ... and it doesn't whistle. But that hair trigger gets me sometimes.
