My Focus idles at 16 TPS...when going 25-35 mph... keeping the TPS at 17-18 results in maintaining speed and seeing the best mpg....same as when approaching a stop sign or corner and trying to get to the sign at 25-30-35 mph. Also this would help when going over some hills.

I currently do this manually...but it is difficult.

These kinds of solenoids have been used on various cars that have AC...to up the idle some....
