done it before...no noticeable performance difference...some folks swear by it though
Z71,Not exactly the way I calibrated the throttle in my 2010 SE..but similiar.
:scratchhead: weird. never heard of that before.My car is a 2010 SE...bought with just under 14,000 miles on it..an ex-Enterprise rentaride.
Runs and ran fine...just had a lot of throttle lag like stated..mash the pedal...and wait for the thing to decide to open up.
I dug around online..and found a topic on another 'Challenger forum' regarding the issue..and giving the following throttle calibration procedure....turn the key switch on and after the bells and whistles go off..turn off the esp..quickly mash the throttle to the floor..and release letting the pedal fly back up...shut off key start and drive.
I had to try it about twice before I got it right..but it really helped on the lag.
Did a throttle recal not help your SE??
do you have a link to that thread? I did a search but could not find it.check the MYTHS thread. dodge engineers have said there is no such calibration.
take this for nothing if you choose. FYI
Don't worry, Dodge thought of this. Try putting your foot to the floor and attempt to start the engine; nothing will happen until you release the gas pedal.Doesn't anyone worry when doing this. My experience is that your not supposed to touch a gas pedal when the engine is off on a fuel injected car.
