Only side affect he said was that when i floor it(kickdown button)it might feel like the car is starving for fuel and he was right,this does happen.
I was wondering if I readjusted the EHA slightly would it get rid of the starving problem?

That is why I adjusted mine. It always felt that at highway speed and floored that nothing was happening. Just could not get enough fuel. Now with one 1/4 turn I actually can accelerate while going up a slight incline at 75 MPH. Just held its ground before. I think I need one more 1/4 turn, but I may replace fuel injectors first! In a few weeks time. I still think the injectors are not spraying as they used to. I have removed them and soaked them in carb cleaner twice and they still seem to not be getting enough fuel there. I can feel my engine running and others have said I should not. I still can feel it slightly but not as much as a few months ago when I began this insane trip to get my engine as smooth as when it was new. It is almost there!
