There had been some question about the steppers on the 99 and 00 models - I 
was able to verify that they both have the same stepper.

I did however post some misinformation - after talking to a few 
knowledgeable shop mechanics I was able to get the story straight. The 5 
degree and 12 degree referred to the angle of the throttle butterfly when 
closed (not to the resolution of the stepper). By moving to 5 degrees 
(versus the old 12), the opening of the throttle from a closed position 
gives a more gradual increase in airflow and should enhance low speed 
performance (makes it smoother).

Sorry for the error in the original post.
