I have read the posting on how to manually reset the throttle memory and I love the feel of the throttle after clearing the throttle memory.

QUESTION: Does anyone know if the Crossfire's system be programmed to perform this "reset" automatically every time the car is started?

Thanks.

 

Buy a Sprint Booster!

 

Why? If I can get the result for free?

$12.50 worth of passive electronic components for $250!!!

Give me yours for 5 weeks. I will reverse engineer it, give it back in working condition, (unless it has been encapsulated) along with a parts list, schematic, assembly drawing and artwork for a PCB (if need).

You can make your own or have a contract fab shop build em' up and make big $$.

Just give me $5 royalty for everyone you sell.

 

If you want an electronics project, create a module that will eliminate the TC...

 

This isn't the first time this has been said, I agree with HDDP. By the way if you do borrow one and "reverse engineer it", it really isn't engineering, its stealing. Design and produce a product that works as well or better and sell it for $ 17.50 and I'm all in, ship me one!

 

I have no plans on purchasing or "stealing" a sprint booster.

If I discover that the throttle memory can be programmed to be reset on engine start I will post the info and results.

Then forum members can decide on going with booster from Hong Kong for $250 or a programmed setting for free.

 

I know you can recalibrate your throttle for more linear power, but not sure if we can reprogram it.

 

I've done the throttle reset, and all I can say it's not comparing apples to apples to the SB. All the throttle reset does is reset the "Throttle Response" to some default configuration. After you drive for awhile it gets accustomed to your driving habits (Grandma, Moderate, and or Speed Racer) and sets itself to your driving style.

Where as; the SB takes the signal from the original feedback device and resets the gain to a given exponential curve. In essence it simply boost the signal.

Their you go... I will expect 40% of your gross product sales, for giving you the secrets to the "Sprint Booster" when you get your product off to market!

I was under the impression that the ECU is always monitoring and always adjusting based on how you are driving. It doesn't learn 1 way and stay there.

 

As I stated: It learns your habits and adjusts.

If one day you drive like a grandma and the next you drive like speed racer it adjust to your driving habits, so the end results in this scenario would be a moderate driver; so it averages your driving habits.

However, should you always throw the peddle to the metal, you would end up with a different driving characteristic and therefore a different throttle response.

But they are NOT my habits!

By law - sometimes I must obey the posted speed limits and - or let the school children walk to school or cross the street in safety. I am an American - I have no problem with this at all - no mater what I drive, my Pickup , my motorcycles or my Crossfire, but once I reach city limits and I have a nice twisty road ahead, WHY DO I NEED TO PURCHASE A $250 DEVICE TO OVERRIDE MY NEW $25K DOLLAR SPORTS CAR?? (Perhaps you paid $40K for your Crossfire, but that makes it even worse - in my opinion)

I AM NOT GRANNY - OR SOME PRE-PROGRAMMED MODERATE DRIVER. I DID NOT PURCHASE A SEDAN TO BRING THE GROCERIES HOME OR GO TO CHURCH. Nor am I a 25 year old hormone induced fighter pilot in a $50 million dollar fighter jet asking my bird to break the rules of aerodynamics.

I am a consumer, who only asks that my automobile respond to my foot, not some German engineer's pre-programmed C++ code.

There - I got it off my chest.

I love this car - I really do, and so far I have found only ONE FLAW! And I hope I can turn the damn FLAW off.

 

Then take 10 seconds and re-set the computer when you get in the car... We did give you the process, didn't we ? It's a freakin' Mercedes Benz with some of the goofiest (over engineered) electronics ever designed into a car... If you're pissed about the "throttle memory", wait until you want to completely disengage the traction control...

 

please post a link to this thread.

 

You lazy SOB. After a year on this forum, you still don't know how to search a topic.

 

Brian, you're not used to working with German vehicles aren't you? Every one has "features" like this so it's just the nature of the beast. But as you get used to the car's personality you will discover it's not that hard to live with and kind of grows on you after a while.

One thing you'll notice is that these cars is that they don't do anything better than anyone else but they do a whole lot of things really well and it's the total package that counts...

 

lol, I did, the most relevant thing I could find was this forum. when I do a search for throttle memory it searches the content of the threads as well so I get all these misleading results.

 

OK... point well taken... here ya go...

his was posted by one of our members (HDDP I believe):

Throttle Body Adjustment. They say this works on all drive by wire vehicles and resets parameters WITHOUT Having to disconnect battery!


The Throttle is "Drive By Wire" and adapts to your particular driving
style. Do a TBA Throttle body adaptation.

1. Get in your car, it doesn't matter if you close the door or not.

2. Turn the key to the on (not start) position, the position just before the starter
turns over.

3. Press the gas pedal to the floor with the key in the "on" position.

4. Hold the pedal to the floor for five seconds, then turn the key back
to the "off" position (don't remove the key), then release the gas
pedal.

5. Wait 2 mins. for a full alignment.

6. Drive the car as you always do.

Depending on your driving style, this may or may not be a big factor. I do a lot of city driving so
I noticed a big change after erasing my history. It is not hard to do this, just follow the instructions -

Key on, pedal down, 5 sec, key off pedal up, wait 2 minutes.

Keep the key in for the entire thing.

If this doesn't work, disconnect your neg. battery cable for 20 minutes. This will re-set the parameters in the drive-by-wire... Unfortunately it will delete your pre-set radio stations, clock etc. as well...

 

sweet thanks man.

 

No Problem... You're not going to notice much change though...

 

I was not suggesting that you are any type of driver! I merely trying to give you an example of how the car adapts to driving styles; nothing more... nothing less.

What you paid for your vehicle ($25K or $40K) has no merit in this discussion; the Crossfire and Daimler/Chrysler are what they are(were), and that "BrianBrave" is the real facts you need to deal with.

Whether you buy a SB really makes no difference to me or any other XFi member, nor will it matter to anyone if go toying with the ECU and turn your ($25K car) into a brick.
