Help with 2010 Aveo engine swap

[pellucid]

Some more to go on.

So far I've been able to get it through two heat cycles. ambient to operating temp. I found that if I keep playing with the pedal as it's doing it's RPM bounce thing after starting I can catch it and get it up over 3,000rpm. Once it's up there it responds normally to the throttle. I can hold a speed, move it up and down quickly or slowly anywhere from 3-4,500 or so. I didn't rev it much higher but I did come up about 5,500 once.

Once it falls below about 2-2,500 the pedal has little if any input on the RPM, if anything it seems like it wants to die with throttle motion but if I keep it pegged it doesn't really pick up or die more than usual. Jabbing the pedal at just the right time will get it over 3k where the pedal has control again.

To be honest I don't know that much about drive-by-wire throttle. The only wire I really want to see on a throttle is the cable...

I wondered if maybe the automatic and manual shift cars had a different throttle but it doesn't look like they do.

Oh, no DTC's set or pending. Looking at live data I can see the throttle moving but I don't know if that's the pedal or the throttle body.
