Turn Key to Run (don't start)

Wait for all the dash gauge lights to go out (about 8 seconds)

Push the gas pedal steadily and slowly to the floor and slowly let it up

You should get a confirmation "ding" when the pedal is all the way up

turn key off...

^^^Doesn't that only work for the drive-by-wire hemi to calibrate the pedal to throttle blade? The only adjustable TPS's i've seen are the older ones and those need to be manually adjusted using a mulit-meter...maybe the 4.7 is different I dunno

If I'm not mistaken, the 3.7s, 4.7s and 5.7s are the same drive by wire, at least from '03 on...
