It talks back to you and doesn't take out the garbage. You have to firm with it. =P

Default Pull power to the ECU and then key on no start will align the throttle.
One symptom (though caused by other issues too) is the idle will hunt.

Default It really is not the throttle plate that does not know where it is
it is just that there is too much fuel while at idle and the ecu is trying to adjust but has a hard time with it. You should see what happens when you do block 060 and reset the basic settings while the car is running. OPPS dont do that one.
