I heard that if you turn the key to ON and wait til all the normal lights in the dash go out, then slowly press the gas pedal until it is floored and release. Turn key off, wait about 6 seconds and then start your car. Gets rid of most if not all of the throttle lag. Give it a try.

The xcal2 & 93 tune from evolution performance with the C&L CAI will take it away, They say it doesn't go away "all the way" But I dont feel it at all, punch it so you kick the passing gear and the v6 rips something fierce. You won't believe the difference it'll make

what the hell?!?! that actually worked?? can anyone back this up with a technical explanation on why this would help the throttle response? im confused, my car is at the dealer till 12 noon.. so until i get it back im in shock ahhahah
lol I thought it was a joke when I read this, but now you guys are saying that it works?! What is it, some sort of calibration technique like what you do when your windows won't go back up or something?
It does indeed work. I saw it posted on the Brad Barnett forum a while back and tried it, my throttle response is GREATLY improved. There is still a tiny lag, but nothing compared to what it was before. The tranny (auto) kicks down right away instead of waiting for a second. The only thing I can figure is it is some kind of a programming override that Ford built in for testing purposes. A nice thing about it is you do it once and it sticks, you don't have to do it each time you start the car.
