Throttle Body Reset - is this true?
I saw this in the UK TT forum:
how to do a "Throttle Body Reset"?
OK, before answering how to... this (apparently) is why... "if your car is driven for a long time without thrashing then it will limit the max throttle to 75% I believe. Reseting just gives you 100% again" And this is how..
The Engine needs to be cold, so don't do this after a long drive or nothing will happen.
Turn the ignition on without actually starting the engine and wait for about 3 minutes.
Turn off the ignition and it's all done.
Is this true?

That's how to do it...the rest (75% statement) is BS....>>
The electronics are constantly adjusting to your driving style, conditions and sensor input.
You should reset the ECU fuel maps every once in awhile too...Disconnect the battery for that.

Just re-sets the programming maps...>>>
That alter Boost, fuel and timing. Basic adaptation values remain in the eprom but will adjust up or down slightly to compensate. Mostly the MAF and 02 sensors affect the adaptation maps..
