with a mechanically operated throttle body I know thats how they work, but with drive by wire I've read online and have been told that the ECM and throttle plate wont be in sync or work properly if you mess the blade/plate. I've also been told that cars with DBW have some kind of re learn state you can put them into if you do mess with the blade so the ECM can get back into sync. does any one know how to get the car in this state? by the way I guess I forgot to mention the exact car. Its a 2006 pontiac grand prix base mode 3800 series 3 engine.
