Default Help with accelerator after jump start please!

I am having trouble with the accelerator after jump starting our Grand Caravan. It starts fine but won't accelerate properly. I remember this happening before but I can't remember what the fix is. It has something to do with resetting the computer by doing something with the key in the ignition. Anyone have any thoughts?

Welcome to DF
I'm guessing you still have a throttle cable and noy fly by wire. The throttle blade may need to be cleaned. Or the cable is sticking.
