Passat (B5) :: How To Reset The Throttle Sensor

so i went to a car show yesterday and left my hood open! i was walking around and when i came back to my car to leave i started it and i had cel, my asr light was on and my engine felt light it was misfiring on all 4 cyl. so im looking at everything under the hood and notice that some funny guy unplugged my throttle wire! ok no big deal! plugged it in, turned it back on and all i had was a cel! i cleared it and it was fine till i started driving home! i though it was a boost leak but i was only boosting at a peak of 9 psi! driving there it was a normal 11. i know its not a boost leak becuz i had one last week and did a BLT! could unhooking my throttle body and starting up be causing it not to go to WOT??? if so how can i reset the throttle sensor?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: How To Reset A Throttle Position Sensor

I was reading the car's settings using the Torque app and an OBDII bluetooth dongle and I realize that at WOT the ECU is only seeing 85% from the TPS. O know on some vehicles there is an actual procedure like turn the key forward, hold the gas pedal at WOT, turn the key all the way forward w/o starting while pulling the turn signal stalk down or something crazy like that to force the ECU to re-measure while you keep the gas pedal pinned to the floor. I know on other cars when it doesn't read a full 100% you miss out on a small amount of power and MPG so if it's an easy procedure with these cars I'd like to reset it. I did some searching but mostly came up with info on how to replace it and a few related subjects but noting on this specifically for this car specifically.

Tiguan :: EPC Light Came On - APR Fault Reset / Throttle Alignment?

I was driving my Tiguan and began to roll on the throttle and the check engine light started flashing. Running in 93 mode, I thought. But I did just run out a tank of 100 and did I forget to switch the program? I usually only drive this car on the weekends so its possible.

Now the EPC light came on and I cannot seem to clear the error. I've held the resume button and the check engine light has flashed once, then twice, letting go when the respected command is reached.

Am I missing something? Or did I indeed possibly grenade this thing? When I say roll in to throttle, I mean I was just starting to spool the turbo. By no means was I hard on it......yet....

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2013 - Reset Throttle Response

Resetting Throttle Response. I came across this video, bored and just playing around, and tried it on my 2013.......and it works! Turn the ignition key to the run position, then slowly press the accelerator pedal to the floor. Then let the pedal up fast, then turn the ignition off. Do this 3 times, and on the last time, also turn the ignition off. I was amazed that that the lagging pedal response was almost completely gone!

Touareg :: Comfort Settings Reset To Default Sporadically And Randomly

This glitch has been noted on repair orders and supposedly fixed at least three times now, but it's BACK. (So much for my wood knocks and no problems for three months.) Odd thing though, it'll reset to default three times in a row, then I won't have the problem for two weeks. Then, this morning, that annoying click, telling me now that my doors are locked at 5mph and my unlock door setting goes back to DRIVER SIDE ONLY (I prefer ALL as the setting). How to take care of it for good? I've had something having to do with this in my MFI replaced once or twice now.

Touareg :: 2004 - Tire Pressure Monitor Failure - Can't Reset It?

I have a 2004 Touareg with 70,000 miles, and until recently the tire pressure monitors have worked perfectly. Now I'm getting a Flat Tire warning, or a warning of a defective wheel, or when I try to reset it tries to learn but fails, or it sets a tire pressure of say 42 but the pressure is only 38. The Dealer says "its a known problem", he thinks they're going to issue a recall, but doesn't have a fix.

Touareg :: 2006 V8 - Lag In Throttle Response

We love our Touareg, but one things plagues our truck. There is a terrible lag in throttle response. We press the pedal down some, nothing, press some more, little to nothing nothing (like it is starting to crawl), press some more and ZOOM - the truck takes off. Kinda hard to drive like that... Is this expected behavior or is there a programmer to fix it? We have an 06 V8 and have not had any luck finding one so far.

Touareg :: TSB For Throttle Hesitation Downloaded, Car Won't Start Now

Took my 04 V8 in Monday AM for airbag fault, throttle hesitation, and remote key fob/keyless entry range (lack thereof). Called the dealer yesterday and service rep says airbag and remote range fixed OK, but after TSB for throttle hesitation was downloaded, the car would no longer start. Service rep explained that the shop foreman had worked on car personally for most of day and still was not able to start car.

Touareg :: Whistling Right Front - Variable With Throttle

I have an 04, vin 70k+ V8, Nav/Air Susp. with 35k miles. My problem seems pretty specific:

I have a solid whistle in the front right area of the truck above very slow speeds. It really does sound like air moving, so I was thinking mirror/rack, wheelwell, etc. But, when I push the throttle, even a little, it subsides greatly...almost gone. That's what makes me nervous.

Of all the posts I read, the only one that seems like it might be my problem is the driveshaft bearing, maybe because of the torque, etc placed on it during acceleration (I'm no mechanic). I would think that any aerodynamic type problem would have nothing to do with slight throttle changes.

Am I on track? Common occurrence? Anything I should tell the dealer? I'll probably take all this to them when I do the 40k service. I also got a the running gear fault last week, but it hasn't returned. Do you think my Air Susp seals/piston rings are going too?

Touareg :: 2004 V8 - Clunking When Shifting, Going On And Off Throttle

My 2004 V8 clunks when shifting gears, causing the engine to oscillate right through the seat. It also happens when driving a steady speed, e.g., 10MPH in traffic, and you goose the gas or release the gas altogether. So far:

1. Replaced transmission valve body
2. Replaced stepper motor
3. Replaced rear propellor shaft and bearing

I think this started with a reflash of the trans to cure the death lag.

Touareg :: 2007 V6 Engine And EPC Lights Came On And Effecting Throttle

The other day these two lights came on and it's been effecting the throttle. The acceleration is slow and delayed. Is this a simple at home fix, or do I have to take it in to a mechanic?
