hey white, I answered you ls1tech...I blieve I read before about caddy that after everything is reconnected, turn key to the "on" position, and then turn it back off. Wait at least 30 seconds, and repeat. Do this a total of three times, and it will supposedly relearn the TPS. good luck...no promises..just something I read.

Nick, did you try to re-load the tune and see if that helped it. You didn't drive it after you un-tuned it, then it started screwing up. LMK whats up.

No the TPS re-learn is the Throttle position sensor. The crank relearn relearns teh crankshaft in relation to the camshaft so it can sence any misfire, and/or knock retard

no, I didn't even bother with it, when I reloaded the tune it confirmed a good transfer. If it is in the programming the dealership can reflash it from scratch anyway (I'll get all the updates at least). Truck sits at dealership right now, I'm stuck driving a friend's extra vehicle, a 2002 Mazda 626

Dealership seemed backed up, so it may be a couple days until I get it back

From what I understand from the efilive guys is that if for some reason, the drive by wire throttle body gets out of range through tuning, it is a NON-recoverable event on the pcm. It requires a complete chip removal from the pcm board and reprogaming of that chip. It would be cheaper to get a new pcm if this is the case with your pcm.
