Question Has there been any ride by wire problem?
Just wondering if anybody has had or heard of any problems with the Electronic Thottle. I have not.

Yes there have been some threads with 09 owners having problems. Seems like it has something to do with the throttle having to "re-learn" the proper positioning. You can search "throttle by wire" TBW and a few threads will show where there have been problems.

That's not a TBW problem, it's AN OPERATOR ERROR

I've heard of problems when installing tuners if the throttle isn't calibrated correctly....but this can be solved on the dyno by going through the proper steps outlined in the installation of the tuner...correct?

Anything else?
