anyway- something to try-if you havent read it already in here- turn key on, (no start) wait for lights to go out, floor it then release it, shut off key...supposed to 'recalibrate' the pot on the pedal to the throttle body feedback, really helped mine a bunch.
I'm a little confused. When trying to recalibrate like ford4v429 says, do I turn the crank after the lights go out and then floor it? Or do I wait for the lights go out, floor the pedal with the engine off, then turn off the key?

Turn the key on, do not start, wait for lights to go out, floor the pedal WITH THE ENGINE OFF, release the pedal, then turn off the key....Give it a shot, works for me.

I think I read it from someone on here about double-booting with the tuner. You install the tune, drive it a few hours and reinstall the tune. I did this last week by putting the tune in before work, drove to work, and put the tune back in before my lunchbreak. It has since been completely consistant with every drive. Before, the 30min drive at 65 on the freeway put the computer in granny mode and I had to work to get the oomph back. Now it's golden every time I put the accelerator down. I don't have any moments where I feel like something's missing anymore. Peppier when the A/C is on as well.
