Default 05 GT Throttle delay

I have an 05 GT Auto, when needinga gentle touch of the throttle there is a delay and you can push the gas pedal, usally about an inch before a throttle responds, some times causing the car to lunge forward. I see the new stangs use the same electronic throttles as the diesel superdutys. Is there any adjustments or fixes????

Since you have an Auto, get a Cold Air Intake/Tune package from Bamachips. $550 well worth it.

That won't correct the 1 inch of dead pedal he has.

Be careful. Those little wires are fragile.
