July 1: So it begins. Don't worry, this is not in the correct legal jurisdiction!

Wide Open Throttle Switch (WOT)

This switch is used to detect full throttle condition. When activated, a signal from the WOT to ECM sets a temporary full rich mixture until throttle moves off wide open position. At which time the C-4 system returns to pre-WOT operating conditions. This switch is closed at wide open throttle and opens with 5 in. Hg or more of ported vacuum.
