Default Re: Throttle Reset Logic ?

I reset my throttle this morning as the treads stated:

key on but not start
accelerator to the floor and hold 5 seconds
key off
let up on accelerator
wait at least 2 minutes

I drove down to the end of the street and sat at the stop sign. Waited for the break in the traffic and pulled out. Holy Ka Ka, I about gave myself whiplash. What a difference. Still don't understand the logic but I'm with you, I'll reset every so often.
