Here's the recal procedure (cut & paste from another section)...
"Turn the key to ON (DO NOT START THE CAR!) and wait till all the normal lights in the dash go out, then slowly press the gas pedal until it is floored and release. Turn the key off, wait about 6 seconds and then start your car. Give it a try.
This will reset the throttle body settings and give the car a crisper feel. This is not a permanent fix but does help out every so often. Also unplugging you negative battery cable for 15 minutes will reset some settings but is not recommend unless you know what you are doing."
I just did this and wow did it help i dont notice it at all.

Slowly press and SLOWLY release a few times.
Key off then start.

I haven't done it yet but it looks like it might be a good shot at the lag
