I have actually been wondering about this. On a front drive car, if you have the brake pedal pressed down hard then how far do you have to depress the accelerator to get the car to move?
Will it move at all?
The brakes can bring the car from 60-0 a lot faster and in less distance than the engine can take it from 0-60. I suspect that the HAH generates enough torque at the wheels to overcome maximum brake application, but not enough to allow the car to accelerate rapidly even at peak engine torque.
Anybody know if the engine control module stores data that would allow things like throttle and brake position at the time of the accident to be determined. I know that if there's a fault code set the computer stores the information from all its sensors at that time. My question is, does it keep more than current data in memory or does it have several seconds or minutes of data that can be read.
