Ok I was truly skeptical but it actually did something... I'm amazed... It must reset something, I don't know what but my truck definitely had more *****... Truly pleased...

Its a computer adjustment, you will not be able to change it again, you sholdn't have any issues.

I just tried this on my 2010 XLT 5.4 and didn't really notice any change. Maybe like 1% better but I think that's just mental.

I wish they would make a "STICKY" about this procedure, there are so many people that are saying this and saying that about what if will do and what it won't do....here are the facts:
If your vehicle has throttle lag and it doesn't matter if it's with wire or without wire this procedure will fix the lag, it will fix any throttle body TPS scale 0 - 100% on all fuel injected vehicles. If you don't have the lag then it does nothing for you but if you still do it, it will not hurt nothing and if it does then you already had something wrong with your vehicle.

Put key in the ignition and turn to the "ON POSITION" do not start motor!
If you did accidently start the motor just cut it off and start over...no big deal!
Key to "ON POSITION"
Wait for the chimes(bells/whisles to stop) then press the pedal to the floor slowly, once you hit the floorboard let the pedal back up quickly, now turn the key to the "OFF POSITION". Now you can do this procedure two more times or you can start the motor and go for a ride and see if it fix the lag, if it didn't try doing it again but do this procedure a total of three time before starting the motor and going for a ride.
I have done this procedure to motorcycles/cars and trucks.....on a motorcycle Kill switch in "OFF POSITION" "key to "ON POSITION" Now switch the Kill switch to "ON POSITION" ,Now rotate the throttle to full open and quickly return to closed.....switch kill switch to off and turn key to off, now do this two more times and you're ready to ride.
