Default Recalibrating throttle???

i used the search function but couldn't find anything. someone posted a few weeks ago in a topic about weaker throttle response that you gotta perform a certain sequence of depression to "recalibrate" it or something. anyone know? forget it i found out.

in case anyone is interested:

"Try recalibrating your throttle, turn key on, but don't start engine, just wait till all the sys check lights go off, about 5 to 8 seconds, then slowly press gas pedal all the way to the floor, this means you should have it floored in about 1 to 2 seconds. then let up, take foot off gas pedal, turn key off. Now start your engine, go for alittle drive, your throttle lag should be pretty much gone. This works on stock or after market tunes. This is how the pcu calibrates the rotery transducer (electronic throttle). This is why in the Owners Manual (yes you should read it) it tells you not to push down on the gas pedal when starting your engine. The pcu will get a false signal input and miss calibrate your throttle."
