Does anyone know what's going on here. I have an 06 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T, and I notice that when I hit the gas, throttle response time is about 3 to 4 tenths of a second before the car goes fast. Is this normal? I mean....it's like the computer is calculating how much fuel to pour in, since the car does not have a gas wire throttle cable, it's all sensors.

 

It's called electronic throttle control (aka fly-by-wire). You might need to retrain the throttle body.

 

How do you retrain the throttle body?

 

Throttle Calibration

Throttle calibration can substantially improve throttle responsiveness over "factory standard." Many people notice what appears to be sluggish throttle response or a "dead area" at initial accelerator depression. Throttle calibration can take care of these.
1) Insert ignition key and turn to "ON" (not start).
2) Wait for all idiot lights to go out. Check Engine Light may remain on.
3) Slowly depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor.
4) Slowly release the accelerator pedal until it's all the way back up.
5) Turn the ignition key to "OFF".
6) Start the engine.
Most drivers notice an immediate change in throttle response, but depending on your driving style, you may need to repeat this procedure periodically due to the computer's adaptive programming. You likely need to repeat this procedure any time the battery is disconnected.
