About LinkBacksI really had a terrible throttle delay. Asked around and was told to how to perform a throttle recalibration. Big time improvement after I did the recalibration!

Myth or not, I'll have to swear that it made a difference to my RT..
Maybe just wishing real hard?

ok I searched around and found a few posts and the basic procedure appears to be this:
- Turn on your key, wait for the lights to go out (on the dash)
- Press you throttle all the way down, just do it at a normal speed, dont stomp it, but dont baby it.
- Let it up, as soon as you touch bottom
- Turn off your ignition. crank it up and drive.Click the sig for mods and pics....

Myth, as proven by fnky and more than a couple members with StarScans.

I don't have a StarScan, but do have AutoTap, and tried the procedure last night before I went to bed, and checked to see if anything changed in any of the pedal / throttle parameters, and nothing seemed to change.
Also, did a quick search in the service manual, and couldn't find any mention of it, but I very well could have missed it as it is somewhat hard to find things, and I didn't look all that long.
