Man, all you guys crack me up. I still haven't driven the car today yet, but i'll be sure to take all your guys' advice.

I took your guys' advice and the throttle response seemed to be normal again. I'm actually taking the car to school for the first time, lets see what all my friends say and stuff. I have about a 45 minute drive, hopefully the "reset" stays good. thanks guys. owe you one.

YES!!!!!!


im going to try that technique as soon as i get off work today!

my tranny has been sticking lately... and I honestly agree with the fact that my car must be adaptive!

the reason being: because of the recent high in gas prices, i finally stopped driving 0-60 in between speed bumps, stops signs, and street lights!

I actually tried driving slower... and now it will get stuck.

When I say stuck, i mean... it will REDLINE and the gas pedal will not respond. NO matter how hard i press it... the car doesnt accelerate!

I still have to take it to my mechanic. I called him, and he said it may be a sticky pedal sensor, or accelerater sensor.

I hope it isnt the Transmission itself!

Hmm..

I have to say, it does sound alittle more than an adaptive memory issue.

Regardless of memory, your car should pull away if you floor the pedal.
How do you mean when you say it redlines and the throttle doesn't respond?

lol dont thank me I didnt make it, just searched it

Yup, the car drives AMAZING !!! Well... now it does.

I tried resetting it before i left for school. but i didn't press on the pedal properly. so during my break between classes, i hopped in my car and did things over again. And man-o-man, it drives amazing. i kid you not. it's a lot, and i mean a lot faster than when i test drove it with the previous seller and when i was driving it home.

BIG THANKS TO =======> UNLUKKY

Yep, i have a lot of plans for the car now. On the way home. i stopped by EVOSPORT, one of the nicest guys around. Very helpful. Whenever i get the cash, i'm coming back there for a bunch of mods. I'll keep you guys posted. Once again... thanks everyone.

(Thinks to self)... I think i'm gonna go "canyon driving" before i do the mods and after i get the mods, just to see how much power and difference i gained.

Hi

Awesome that you fixed that problem my friend.
Ive only had mine 2 weeks and it drove like a Hearse when i first drove it.
After A week or so of "gentle" persuasion, it drives fine now. I swear it is a self learning car.
The W button is good for saving fuel, cause it drives like a grandma and pulls away in 2nd etc, but around urban areas it saves lots of fuel.

The S button is where it should be set according to the manual (Long read that is - Yawn), but i only get 19mpg in S mode, but 25mpg in W in traffic in my 230 kompressor convertible. 30+mpg on long runs.
