Re: S4 throttle delay
I think that's the plan at this point. And you're right about the tech
being good at BSing, and I knew it at the time. I just didn't know what

I think it should be the following;
1. Turn key on (don't start)
2. Press pedal to the floor and wait 15 seconds
3. With the pedal to the floor turn key off
4. Release pedal and wait 2 minutes for memory to be reset
