Interesting! I'll have to try it. I have a dead spot too. Just beyond that is tire-smoking territory. It can be a bit frustrating.

 

Works good, to me anyways. Usually after my girlfriend has been driving it for a while I do it, she's pretty mellow/easy with the gas. Me on the other hand like to get into it pretty good at least once a day you know, clean out the ol cobwebs, that's what I tell her at least when she gives me crap.

 

gf or wife?

Would u still need to do this if u have a custom tune? I just recieved mine today and haven't loaded it as of yet, so I don't know if it will improve over stock anyway, I'm assuming so. Good trick to know though, even if just in stock mode.

 

I don't know about custom tune as I don't have one... Yet.

 

Very cool , thanks for the post , this definitely seems to help everyone once and a while as the truck feels kinda sluggish from time to time after using the cruise for a week or so on the way to work.

 

I tuned and do it. Not sure if it is in my head or if it works. Pulled the tune and tried stock and same thing

 

Thanks for this, I will giving this a try...

 

I just did this and went for a quick drive.. Holy crap this makes a HUGE difference! Thanks for posting this tip!

Side note; if you have never performed this (like me), walk outside and do it! Takes less than a minute.

-58's, Wagner, Solo, aFe, Livewire, LET Tuned, 2" Pro Comp, JL Audio!

 

Worked great for me as well, needs to be one of those Sticky things.

Or order of precedence on things that need to be done.

 

I did it yesterday. Zero differnce in throttle tip in, but noticeable diiference in downshift time from 5th and 6th gear to 2nd at 45-50 mph

-everything tastes better with bacon-

 

Thank you for this write up on the "dead spot" as I have this. I haven't dug into this issue myself and I just took it to the dealer to have it addressed when I had some other issues. Anyway it doesn't do every time so they gave me the "well we have to see it doing it" which I understand but anyway,they said sir.....all ecoboost do this sir until the turbos get going! I said you have to be kidding me right...? Yes mater tech I am FULLY aware what "boost lag" is and that is NOT what I am talking about haha....Its like a dead area! And he just shrugged his shoulders like he had no idea what I was talking about. I even mentioned that it maybe could use a calibration and he still just looked at me like I was an alien speaking a language he's never heard before. Anyway, I just told myself I would live with it. Now I don't have to and I'll do it myself. Thanks

 

Lol I bought my 2015 at a nissan dealership smh they told me they dont lnow how to work on fords that much when i asked about this same issue i was like do what dont all techs learn how to work on everything lmao..😭😲😂

 

What's the procedure for push button start?

 

That I do not know

 

I haven't tried it but I do know if you push the button with no brake pedal push it will power the accessories.

Like folding in mirrors, windows etc.

It's pretty easy for me to say that the most important thing in my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, followed by my relationship with family. Everything else comes later.

 

So this mod really works being tuned... So my truck has a custom tune from 5* upload now. I can just go do the procedure and it so work or should I return back to stock first. Do the procedure and then reupload the tune....

 

dose for me, do it with the tune on, do not go back to stock to do it.

 

Ok thank you.. Will try it as soon as I get home... Hopefully it work also for me lol

 

Just make sure to slowly push down the peddle each time, I do it pretty damn slow, then let off it fast, turn key off and repeat.
I wait for the four dings to stop after turning key to on position before slowly pushing peddle down each time.

 

Makes a big difference every time I do it. Even tuned.

 

when i worked at a dealer. We did this a lot on multiple vehicles. They called it a throttle adaptation. It was just a way of resetting its memory on 0-100 position. It definitely works.

 

going to give this a try, how often should it be done?

 

Every day








Just kidding


Once a month?

Forgot to do this after putting 93 p/t back on after running 4 tanks with 93per tune (highway) loved it! Then put back to stock for service then back to 93 p/t, after about 300 miles it seemed like it stall then take off at most speeds with throttle input. I thought the PCM was trying to 'learn' the new tune and then "du" I forgot all about the throttle reset and now it's back to normal (fast). LOL. Gas mileage is better also!

 

Thanks for putting this up. Makes a difference on my 2012.

 

Would this work on a 2014 Ford Edge?

 

Yes, it should.

 

Anyone have any luck with a push button start? Im giving it a shot right after work. Im in a 2017 Navigator. Im guessing push the button to power up, then go theu the gas pedal steps after the chimes stop. We'll see how it goes.

 

I did it on my 2017 navigator after work yesterday and i really noticed a difference ????

 

Is that a question or a statement? LOL

I'll give it a try on my '16 and see if response improves, although I never really realized if it was lagging or had a "dead spot".

 

Not sure where the question marks came from, definately a statement though LoL
