I tried the throttle reset procedure, but some how got it wrong - or it didnt work..

I understand it is...

turn on ignition with all lights

press pedal to the floor & hold for 30 secs

release pedal

turn off ign

& in theory its done - -  or have i got it wrong ?



Anybody  ?

Sounds right.

You could also try IGN POS 1 as above.

Full throttle for 30 secs

Release throttle pedal

Start engine.

This only affects the throttle, not the gearbox - that needs a computer plugged in to do.

Reset the "throttle" to do what?  Or why are you trying to reset the throttle?  Have you done work in that area and replaced parts? 

If you do a throttle reset, you wipe out the info the car has remembered about your driving habits.
It will relearn and remember how YOU drive.

Hi Lez, yes agreed.. it forgets, but it also give all the throddle pedal use again, sharpens the response & give loads more available power.
I need the reset, as I do a lot of boring motorway miles & the car learns this, de-sensitises the pedal & loses about 25% of the available power... which is a bloody nuisance when I need some urge at junctions, as the car decides Im leading a funeral procession & becomes lazy.
