Recalibrating the gas pedal and throttle body?

DarkCandy08GT · May 15th, 2009, 02:09 PM

Have you ever heard of this? Does it work?
Recalibrating the gas pedal and throttle body:
1- Turn the ignition to ON without starting the engine(dashboard lights come on and chime sounds).
2- After the chime stops, smoothly depress the gas pedal to the floor while counting 1001-1002-1003.
3- Release the gas pedal using the same procedure in 2.
4- Wait 6 seconds, and turn the ignition to OFF.
5- Wait 6 sec., and repeat steps 1-4 two more times.

I just did it and took it for a spin. Big difference. You can here ticking when you do it and then the engine light blinks when your done. Every little trick counts.
