Throttle Calibration- Relearn? Car Feels Different

Car drives sluggish or sluggish throttle response? I've been researching throttle relearn & calibration I may have stumbled onto something here. In the Charger/Challenger this method has resulted in the air intake being a little louder & my estimated gas mileage going up. There had to have been a throttle calibration or relearn in the 2015 2016 2017 Charger RT.
If your car is feeling sluggish, it is likely adaptive driving needing to be reset or calibrated. This throttle reset or throttle calibration is a simple & easy trick for relearning. Let me know in the comments below if you think this helped. Many use the fuse 31 or 25A engine control module pull for a throttle relearn or calibration.

Dude! I swear u read my mind. I've been thinking that I just didn't have the throttle response I should, or want. Have the power but always thought/ or wanted my pedal to be a bit more "touchy" like in my older carbureted cars. You may have solved my concern! I will definitely be trying this and let ya know. Thanks!

[@RTLife]

Let me know how it works out for you - I thought the throttle response was a little sharper & I could hear the intake again. I haven't really heard that since I 1st installed the K&N.

[@Piunti_302]

R/T Life does this work on 2015 sxt

Thanks a lot it worked for me!!!

[@durangobang946]

Woww it works

[@AMICAI]

6 years later and this video is still helping folks out, thank you so much man! Car feels just like how it felt when I drove it off the lot!

[@trek2422]

The dealership flashed my new 2019 Grand Cherokee transmission and it's been back twice because it just does not drive the same. Sluggish, shifty and lacked the linear acceleration it had prior to the flash. I performed this reset yesterday and I can't believe how much better the vehicle drives! And why doesn't the dealership know this...shameful?! Thank you!!!

[@billystair5311]

Works 100 percent for the 2019 3.6 charger. The directions that came from BBK did not. This man is a genius. Two thumbs up!

[@RTLife]

Nice! glad this worked for you as well. Thank you for giving it a try & leaving feedback

[@saads.khalaf7490]

Thanks, I tried it on my Dodge Journey 2017 and it worked perfectly. before this attempt, I felt it was a little rough and not responding like when i first got it. now the car is wonderful. Thanks a lot . Now I am doing it once a month. I am from Iraq and have been searching on KZbin for anything related to my case and finally got your post. Appreciate your support.

[@RTLife]

Thank you for giving this a try & leaving feedback. I really appreciate the support!

[@JustinK412]

Just tried it on my 13' rt ive have a cold air intake and exhaust on it for months and i can finally hear my intake and i did notice a better pick up on throttle response thanks man u just earned yourself a new subscriber

[@RTLife]

Nice!!! Sorry I missed this, really glad this little trick helped you out. Thanks a ton for the channel support, I really appreciate it!

[@485braveheart]

Hello I have dodge charger 2009 throttle body sign coming up and start and run but cut off I changed fuel pump and filter most of the sensors besides the up and down stream

[@485braveheart]

I do what to do again could it be the computer the car keeps going of limp mode

[@justadiver6655]

Thanks for the help! I first noticed troubles in performance after I did CAI and high flow exhaust to my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7. I was just about to buy a tuner thinking I had no other option, but all my truck needed was a PCM reset (unplug negative terminal on battery for 20min) and to recalibrate the throttle. I just tried it out yesterday, and already noticed my truck running much smoother and more fuel efficient! For anyone with the same problems. Start here!

[@jeremiahhersman8302]

Drove about 100 yards before trying this just to get a fresh feel after sitting overnight. Have to say, after doing this the exhaust note was noticeably different upon startup. Definitely deeper and more intake noise. Thanks!

Once again, you are spot on bro. Pragmatic and never conjecture or bullshit. It absolutely took all the “vague” feeling out of the 2014 super trac pak , 6 speed RT Plus. I researched your boys in Galeana/Mopar Pro shop, going to talk to Frog 🐸 on Monday and make the drive up from St. Louis it’s about 4 hours for me. Thinking I’m gonna go right to stage 2.......😎

[@TheBeast-tf7zx]

Dude, great info & amazing find!!! I have a '16 Charger ScatPack and did the calibration. I felt an instant improvement. So much that I thought that it was in my head so I didn't tell my "Lead footed" wife. The next morning, the first thing my wife said was "Those new rear tires are fantastic!!! (I just mounted new rear tires) and the car "Hooks up" better and just wants to go".

[@RTLife]

hahaha that's great! Really happy it worked for you. I honestly thought it was going to be nonsense myself but as soon as I got on it while on the highway, it felt great. Thanks for trying it & coming back to confirm it works.

[@dmac562]

I was skeptical whether this would work or not but got straight to it after I got out of work just now. Unbelievable, really amped the shit out of my throttle as well as the air box making itself heard. Adrenaline rush like no other, it worked for me. Thank You for this video made it home a whole lot faster! ~2016 Charger R/T

[@Juicemonkey76]

I tried this on my 15 RT. I have straight exhaust, CAI, and Diablo Sport Pcm with a custom dyno tune. I didn't think it would do anything with the pcm and tune but WOW! I noticed a big throttle response gain and also the car is louder like you said in vid. Almost like its allowing more air in.

[@RTLife]

Thanks man for taking the time to give feedback, it helps others on the fence on giving it a shot. Very happy it worked out for you & helped! Appreciate the continued channel support!

[@antwonlewang1390]

Oh my man it's official!!!! I installed flowmaster American thunder exhaust on my 14 rt charger last year....and when I floor it became hesitant to go, had that problem until tonight...I did what you showed in video..put the car in reverse and as I hit the throttle.. my rear tire squealed... the smile on my face...I shifted to first and the response was nothing like I felt before, as I shifted into the higher gears that thing took off with no hesitation ..I began squealing my 295/25/22" tires with ease.. something I wasn't able to do until tonight... the cool thing is it responds way better without sportmode on ...smh ...a whole year of sluggish hard throttle up until tonight.... lol... thanks R/T life salute and keep us educated

This did work for my 2017 chevy malibu. The take-off is much better now. I'll see how long this holds up. I was gonna buy a new throttle body with the new sensor but now I might can save that money a little while longer. Thanks again. Glad you did a video for this issue.🇺🇸👍🏾

I just happened to stumble across this video. I have recently installed an S&B CAI on my ram 15 ram 1500 HEMI. is seemed like on occasions I could tell a difference and on others not so much. I watched your vid and gave it a shot. No joke there's definitely a difference in throttle response. Also a little more sensitive it seems like. And it's not just here and there it's anytime you need it it's there. Thank you for this video! You've earned a subscriber for sure. Again thank you.

My word...after doing this to my 2016 hellcat its a different car. SO FAST. Totally different feel. It was already fast but now the only way I can describe it is its solid and feels tight. Thank you very much.

Thanks buddy. I was skeptical but this actually works. I know because normally my 2014 dodge challenger will slip into ECO mode while cruising locally or the freeway after a certain Rpm. After doing this calibration thing it stopped. Launching from stoplight is a bit faster and no need to depress the accelerrator as much. Much appreciated

Have to say this does work and gives a noticeable difference. When and if it gets sluggish again, just do the relearn again and off you go. Also read about pulling fuse #2 for older vehicles or fuse #31 for new but this is easier with what seems the same results.

[@RTLife]

Yah def a noticeable difference. Glad I'm not the only one.

This even worked for my 2020 Ram 1500. After installing a throttle body spacer, it made a cool noise but I felt like it slugged my throttle response and it seemed to only get worse as time went on, and this included acceleration from a dead stop and trying to gain speed while already accelerating. This quick fix brought it right back to life and is back to being extremely responsive.

[@ranierrakestraw]

I've had my 2012 automatic srt8 challenger for 2.5 years. I have previously owned a 2013 manual srt8. My automatic challenger seemed far less responsive than the manual and I could never figured out why. I added a Cai and flowmaster exhaust and it just seemed nowhere near as fast as my manual challenger that only had a flowmaster exhaust added. I performed your technique and I now feel like I'm getting the experience I paid for. Thank you! Btw I been selling these things for 4 years. 🤦‍♂️😂

So I actually tried this today on my 2018 rt Charger. I got it with 16k miles on it & it drove fine. I had it for about 3weeks & the throttle started to be a little off and it drove rough. I guess I tended to get a little excited at times and smash the gas but with this method it feels new again! Right after I did reset it I took it for a spin & it was like the power that seemed to have dumbed down a bit was back! Thanks man!

This was an interesting experiment. My daughters car, 2012 Dodge Avenger, had issues when she bought, the car lot replaced several things, including the throttle body and the PCM. It's been running fine for the last 5 or 6 months, and recently died on her twice, both times at idle. I drove it for a while and noted that when I let of the throttle, the RPM would drop 6-700 RPM, then bounce back up to about where it was. I tried this technique and on the 1st, brief test drive, it seems better. I'll drive it a bit more over the next couple days, but I'm feeling like this was a fix. Thank you for posting.

[@matthewdiabo2879]

any updates?

[@mo.ali7]

I can't believe it. It has been totally different. It seems to be as your first drive after modifying. I tried two times with different ways. Second one works with me. its just pressing the pedal 3 times slowly. Then it worked. Now I dont have noise or rattling exhaust, The performance also returned back healthy.

[@RTLife]

Nice! I'm really glad this worked out for you - when I 1st did it man what a difference!

[@joeyg1609]

You’ve saved me from putting a BBK Throttle Body on my new 2018 Challenger GT. I have put a K&N CAI and Flowmaster Catback exhaust on and had driven roughly 1200 Miles after Installation. There was a tremendous lag in throttle response and thought Oh No!! What have I done!!! The Hack you’ve shared cured all concerns. Just followed your instructions and took a 20 mile drive in city & highway speeds. The difference was unbelievable throttle response is now immediate , crisp and no hesitation. Thank you and look forward to any tips you come across for the 3.6L army

[@RTLife]

Thank you for giving this a try & leaving positive feedback - it really helps others looking into this stuff. I appreciate it & if some more tips/tricks surface I will def make a video. Enjoy that Mopar!

[@harssca]

Just did it on my 2019 Chrysler 300s 3.6, I can confirm it works ! Feels like I gained low end tq & response. Also I noticed my range on current tank went up by 30ish kms

[@goom1001]

actually, like you said I guess you are the first to make the throttle relearn on video online. i had this problem with my 16 rt and it kindda got into my head and i was saying wtf thats not a farely 300 something WHP car. I mean the car didn't even loose traction for a second when floring it from 0. so I dug up the internet to fix that or at least someone to tell me it is normal. then i know from online dodge communities that there is something called driving behaviour learn on the car's ECM which adjusts throttle to match the behaviour of the driver. Some said to drive the car insainly is the way to fix that and i said that can fix it, but still this solution is a little risky. after that i found this way exactly and I was shocked after the first try. totally different. thanks for the vid

[@RTLife]

I'm glad it worked for you! Researching things online is brutal, so I'm trying to make a spot that helps every Mopar owner get info fairly easy. Thank you very much for trying it & taking the time to post up your results! I appreciate the channel support a ton.

[@raulnav81]

Dude! I tried it. It worked theres a difference. !! Thanks bud

[@RTLife]

hahaha NICE!!! Glad it worked for you man. Thank you for giving it a try.

[@vinnybackspin]

Thanks for the vid man! Worked out perfectly on my 2017 300 Hemi! 👍👍👍

[@RTLife]

Nice! Glad this was helpful. I appreciate you giving it a try & leaving feedback

[@mjm52372]

Nice tip. Doing this next time I get in the car.

[@RTLife]

Let me know how it goes.

[@mjm52372]

R/T Life I didn't notice much difference off the line but maybe I had it trained pretty well in that aspect already. I did notice that it eliminated the small delay I always noticed when hitting the gas at a roll. That always annoyed me. Thanks again for the tip.

[@mrmralready210]

I’m gonna try this today. Appreciate the post brother!

[@RTLife]

Let me know how it works out - Thank you for giving it a try

[@THERIPPER216]

MrMr Already did it work

[@mrmralready210]

@@THERIPPER216 no. It didn't work. I'm thinking maybe I did it wrong or I may be having a different issue all together

[@genesisbelleca5509]

This really work I just tried it soon as I finished the video! Thanks man

[@msascha1973]

Tested long time back on so many different car brands and this is working. Also if you want you can press it up to 3/4 and you will get faster respond on trottle, but do not recommend it.just for testing purpose

[@jtechnstuff]

I just tried this with my 2013 Charger RT and it worked...like holy crap worked! I now have more power, my DTE (Drive till empty went up 25 miles) and the exhaust roars louder to. Oh and doing burn outs is a lot easier now.

[@RTLife]

Nice! Glad it worked for you as well. Thank you for giving it a try & leaving a comment. Helps others that may think it's nonsense

[@ryanthomas3554]

Man, I just tried this today. I already have a good tune and a Pedal Commander so wasn’t expecting much but HOLY CRAP! Feels like I instantly gained about 50 horsepower and that’s no exaggeration. Thanks for the tip! I wonder how long it will last before I have to do it again.

[@rindershow212]

How was ur car acting before?

[@B-Rabbit504]

I did a complete tuneup and after I would “jolt” at stops. I assumed it was due to the throttle being upside down for an hour while I was changing the plugs or the sensor being dirty. However, after watching this video, solved the issue. Thanks

[@jupiter452]

Update: Night and day runs way smoother and quieter! so glad i did this at home saved 300 dolars. My 2010 chevy express was acting sluggish at times or funky excelleration at times especially after iding a while. Got throttle body cleaner and sure enough when i took mas off and duct. The thing was filthy and jammed up... going to recalibrate soon i cant wait to have my power and mpg back🎉

[@crazyfanboy6716]

Just did it on my 2019 r/t. Definitely feel a difference!

[@cliffordscott3199]

Worked on my 14 charger 5.7 blacktop edition. Also tried pushing slowly pushing the pedal to the floor and releasing it slowly 3 times. Seems to work as well. Thanks for the awesome tip man, it definitely made a big difference...

[@RTLife]

Nice! Thank you for giving it a try & leaving feedback. I'm glad it worked for you as well. Awesome!

[@jasons4209]

I saw this video and just tried it on my 18 DD R/T after reading some other forums as well. I turned it to run, waited for dash lights to turn off other than check engine. I started pushing the pedal slow and the engine light started flashing, which was a good sign. Held the pedal for 20 seconds at the floor, brought it up and turned the car off. Then I turned it back on. This definitely worked. The car acts like I’m pushing the pedal down harder than I actually am and seems to shift a bit later. Almost like a hybrid sport mode, since I’m still in ECO mode while driving around normally. Thanks for the heads up that something like this existed. I just hope the computer doesn’t automatically reset it to factory every time I drive.

Thank you for giving this a try & leaving feedback. I'm really glad it helped you as well. Great stuff

[@natashiacovington4421]

Thanks for the information. Good one!

[@RTLife]

You got it - really appreciate the support!

[@YancySmith]

This worked for me! 2011 Ram 1500 5.7L. When the engine hadn't fully warmed up yet, the truck would stall and shut off when slowly rolling up at lights and stop signs. Now the truck doesn't drop below the norm 500rpm. Thanks for sharing! *fist bump*

[@RTLife]

Nice! Glad this worked out for you. I appreciate you giving it a try & leaving feedback. helps others that may be looking into this

[@khyoon14]

I was wondering if it would work on my 17 Ram. It does feel sluggish now and I chalked it up to winter gas. Will report back

[@khyoon14]

It works.

[@challengerman6076]

My 2018 Rt challenger has only 600 miles, throttle response weak. Just did your procedure. Wow, spinning the tires with just a tap of the throttle. Was going to buy the pedal commander, no need I’m happy now. Thanks, keep up the great work. I also love thae fact that every other word is not F__k. in your videos.

[@RTLife]

Nice! Thank you for giving this a try & leaving some feedback - def helps those skeptical about giving it a try. I really appreciate the support

[@challengerman6076]

Do you have any Videos on pulling the # 31 fuse?

[@RTLife]

no I haven't tried it yet

[@ikeknight-r7001]

Thanks, It really works mines is smoother more linear!

[@RTLife]

Nice! Thank you for giving it a try & leaving feedback - helps others. Glad it worked for you as well

[@Angry_Gnome]

Just did it on my '16. It absolutely made a difference. The throttle response off the line in normal mode now feels the same as it was when it was in sport mode before doing this. Thanks!!

[@RTLife]

Alright! Glad it worked out for you. Try that after each upgrade you do to the car.

[@Captain_1224]

great video, i hear and feel a difference

[@RTLife]

Nice! Glad it worked for you. Thank you trying it and writing down the experience.

[@gardenofeden8832]

Hey buddy my 06 charger had high throttle after cleaning no power light on dash was on since I did what you did BAM ITS PERFECT! thanks you saved me a lot of $$$
