I'm having a small problem on take off. My car is just a bit sluggish when I start from a stop. It is more noticable when making a turn from a stop.

I know the computer is adaptive on these cars. Is there a way to reset the computer without pulling the battery cable off. Or a way to reset the throttle by wire system?

There are no Crossfire techs working at my local dealership today. They are off on Saturdays.

 

mine was like that was a vacuume hose...

 

Try this:
Throttle Body Adjustment. They say this works on all drive by wire vehicles and resets parameters WITHOUT Having to disconnect battery!


The Throttle is "Drive By Wire" and adapts to your particular driving
style. Do a TBA Throttle body adaptation.

1. Get in your car, it doesn't matter if you close the door or not.

2. Turn the key to the on (not start) position, the position just before the starter
turns over.

3. Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position.

4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back
to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas
pedal.

5. Wait 2 mins. for a full alignment.

6. Drive the car as you always do.

Depending on your driving style, this may or may not be a big factor. I do a lot of city driving so
I noticed a big change after erasing my history. It is not hard to do this, just follow the instructions -

Key on, pedal down, 5 sec, key off pedal up, wait 2 minutes.

Keep the key in for the entire thing.

If this doesn't work, disconnect your neg. battery cable for 20 minutes. This will re-set the parameters in the drive-by-wire...

 

Thanks Rob I'll give it a sporting try. Hope it works. My girlfriend was riding with me and asked what was wrong with my car. Needless to say I was a bit red in the face. I never would have thought she would have noticed the hesitation in the car. Shows me...

 

think you might have another problem shouldn't be that bad, well see i guess.

 

Hate to show my stupidity....but, you guys are talking only about automatic transmission cars ...right?

 

no standard also
