What does the ect but do on a 94 runner with v6?

 

it changes the shift points so it lets it hold the gear longer before shifting.

 

...and fwiw, "ECT" stands for Electronically Controlled Transmission.

 

Thanks I had no Idea.

 

Ah yes, the batman button. The manual states that you get better fuel mileage with it off. I personally like it in traffic and on snowy days(for some reason I find it works nicely with awd/4wd) and have not noticed any drastic change in mileage.

 

my mileage didnt change w/ it on 100%

 

^^^^^^^

 

wow, and all this time i thought the damn button was the same thing as od off. haha. im a retard

 

now with those bigger tires i leave it on all the time, makes it feel like i have a tiny bit more power. lol.

 

I feel I have a little bit more take off with it on. And I can tell a dif. going up hills and what not!

 

install a tranny temp gauge and watch what it does when you have that button on

 

Im guessing it sky rockets! Guess Ill turn that puppy off!

 

i use mine when on the highway for passing or going up hills for a little more of a kick in the pants

 

im trying to keep it off, but even the 3.4 seems so gutless with out it!

 

It helped me beat an exploder WOOT
