I need a way of holding 2k rpm while I'm not in the car, with a bit of a load on the engine. Looking for a more elegant solution than tightening the throttle cable whenever I need to do this.
I was thinking, does the engine have some sort of RPM-sensor? I couldn't find anything on google. What if I were to put a potentiometer or something in there to fool the ECU into thinking the RPMs are lower than they really are, forcing it to increase accordingly.
Application is this: Stereo competitions, can't be inside the car while competing, need to hold RPMs as close to 2,000 as possible without going over. There's a rule set we have where the motor cannot exceed this speed. That being said, the alternator I have will do 215 amps at idle, 390 amps at 2000 rpm. Once that kicks on, the RPMs will drop back down to idle because of the load, and I can't be in the car to give it more gas to compensate. So I end up losing a bunch of power and it hurts my score
