I did it earlier today and drove hadn't notice a difference yet but then again I didn't get out on the highway.

 

maybe you didnt need it or maybe it doesnt work, i dont know.

 

I do most of my driving on highway and when there a hill on a large grade on highway is when I usually notice a little sluggishness. I'll have to see when I go to work tomorrow how it does as oppose to slow city driving I did today.

 

So, how would one know if it works or doesn't? What are the symptoms of a "lazy" throttle? Please do not tell me poor fuel economy.

 

I did the reset last night, and the car felt super smooth this morning on my drive to work. I think it actually does work.

 

I guess it's worth exploring

 

can't hurt.

 

Nah little cars are just too stupid. Read your own posts on the subject.

 

Old post I know but I found it looking for something else. Actually worked. I find I have to give the car less throttle especially with hills. I gave it three days of driving first before I made a post.

 

If you have a scan gauge or a ODBII scanner that will show live data streams from the CAN BUS you can check to see how far your throttle body is opening. I learned that from JetFuel riding about 160 mph down the interstate in his turbo Brabus. Golly what a difference a turbo makes. I am so in love with his car. His mods are awesome and well executed.DCO

 

I have the Scan Gauge. What setting am I looking for and what am I looking for it to read.?

 

I don't think a scangauge shows live data stream

 

I know that many OBD2 vehicles map your driving habits and this can make the throttle response get sluggish over time. Disconnecting the battery for an hour or two will also rest the computer including the fuel trims and bring the car back to life. I do this a few times during the year. It is noticeable. I think even the shifting patterns might be affected...

I will try out my OBD scanner to see what it is showing for the throttle position while driving. Could be interesting.

 

I have confirmation from Jetfuel that his scan gauge does indeed report throttle position. DCO

 

Despite what Evilution says on his website, I don't think this has anything to do with the throttle.

What you are actually doing is resetting the transmission's adaptive learning. Check this out:

On my 453, I'll notice some lag, so I mash the pedal to a secondary posture and she seems to wake up! I also have two 40# bags on solar water softener salt so it forces the oversized skins to grab on, yet it still goes at a good clip!
