Does anyone have a PDF or any kind of instructions on how to recalibrate the accelerator pedal from the Ford manual? Thanks

 

doesn't exist

sounds like you have a tune issue

 

I read somewhere on here about it but I can't find it that you could recalibrate it by turning the key on and then pushing the pedal down or something like that. I had a small hesitition in the throttle before I had the tune. But it does seem like it is getting better.

 

Here's how I've done it.

Reset:
With the vehicle at a complete stop, set the parking brake.
Put the gearshift in neutral, turn off all accessories.
Turn on car without starting the engine.
Wait till the dash lights stabilize (some of them will turn off)
Step on the gas pedal in one smooth and steady motion
Once gas pedal hits the bottom, let go.
Turn off car and wait 4-5 seconds.
Turn on the engine.

 

where did you get this info from and thanks for posting it

Thanks for the info, that's what I have been looking for. I will try it and post the results.

 

I tried that a couple years ago, and it did nothing for mine. I think it's a placebo effect, personally.

 

SHHHHH!!!! You'll ruin it!

 

I do this periodically and it does work. Gets rid of the dead zone in the pedal.

 

After a few months my car's throttle gets very jerky on light pressure. Almost like it's bucking when I slightly press the pedal down.
When I do this 'recalibration' my throttle becomes smooth again.
