Default Gotcha.
I was going to suggest you come visit Memphis, where you could probably get that taken care of free of charge. Ahhh well...:-)

Default Or .. you can pull the power (battery) for a few mins . .reconnect, turn key to on .. no start and
don't touch the gas pedal while it runs the Throttle Adaption sequence ... 2-3 mins max. It strike me it takes way less than that .. 15-20 seconds but 2-3 mins is the 'line' FWIW.

As soon as the whine from the TB is gone you're fine. 20-30 secs.

Default And one to remind us
of the need to shut the engine off while fueling ..... In case we never saw one of the federally mandated NO SMOKING / SHUT OFF ENGINE WHILE FUELING signs plastered all over every gas station and pump in the US. Or, missed that note in the Owners Manual .. or the one on the fuel filler door.
I remember being that oblivious but I think the sex/drugs and Rock and Roll were better back then

Default I'm eagerly anticipating that one too!
I'm particularly interested in where I can find red air......maybe you should do the FAQ Dave!
