This thread is a good example of Aerohead just leading people astray and causing confusion - bringing in irrelevant concepts, not understanding what is being described (but at the same time being sure he is against it), citing irrelevant references.
If done carefully, the throttle-stop technique works extremely well in cars with manual throttles, and is light-years ahead of coast-down testing.

I arrived at confusion without the aid of anyone else.
The requirement of a direct throttle cable is a detail not known to me, as I assumed the technique could fairly well be applied to most any modern vehicle with "throttle by wire".
I understand the tendency to get irritated by the ignorance of others, but we can't really blame people for what they don't know. Everyone is ignorant of everything until they are not.
