throttle is getting REALLY touchy

Post by red_one »

The Throttle in my 2005 has always been touchy from idle up - very sensitive. My new work car is a Camry, and when I switch to the Vibe in the evening to drive home, I'm squealing at almost every takeoff, and it can be tense in parking lots, too. I know this is a "fly-by-wire" throttle, but anyone know of an adjustment that can get me a more gradual throttle transition? tx

Hi, I am dragging this up to the top. I have had this same complaint since my 2007 was new. I learned to live with it but recently stumbled across this post and then on to http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...age=1 and I can attest to this reset working. It took the touchyness away from the accelerator pedal which was most pronounced when going from a dead stop.Dave
