I have a 3.7L Nitro and when you lightly put your foot on the gas it takes a few seconds before it starts to move. Like it has a delay or something. Now if I were to pull the plug on the TPS turn the truck on acc wait a min then turn it off then plug it back in turn the truck that will tell it to relearn itself right?

The old days

Should we go back to the old days? My 57 VW had a solid steel wire in a sleeve and a wooden wheel accelerator petal, (I will bet few here have seen one of them LOL) (imagine a upside down wheel castor) and I Had a 63 Buick with a 445cui 8 that had a Rube Goldberg linkage.

Amen RIP AMC

I admit it I am an AMC fan it all started innocently with a 73 Hornet, and ended with a 86 Jeep.
