Calibrating a throttle body


i know awhile back there was a tread on here about recalibrating or taking some of the delay out of the throttle by turning the ignition to a certain point then slowly pressing down the throttle and stuff but i cant find it..anybody know what im talking about

This one?
Turn on, but not start your car. Wait a minute for the dash warning lights go off. Press the gas pedal slowly until it hits the floor and then release it slowly. Turn off and then start your car

Read this thread and try the method out. Guarantee to help with your throttle response. Re-calibrating will not help remove the physical dead space in the pedal but this will. Trust me.

If you are going to use foam tape for this, 1 or 2 pieces will probably suffice. If you are going to use lead tape, I think I used 11 or 12 pieces to get it to the right thickness to make a difference in pedal response. Just keep adding to it until you get an instant response from your gas pedal.
