Not so spontaneous, intended acceleration

My accelerator pedal is heuristic!?!?!?!?!?!?

Oh my. I was not expecting that.

What's the easiest way to go back to the defaults? I've driven 2-1/2 weeks and about 6,000 miles (yeah, I drive a lot) and have not noticed any change in its behavior.

Edit: The *very* first bit of pedal travel does not seem to get any response at all, so I push it a little farther (not much) until I do get a response. When it kicks in, that's when it seems overly sensitive. Is that what you are referring to?

The only learning behavior I've noticed is in transmission shift points. It trains very quickly, usually in a day's driving. No special action is needed for resetting, it adjusts to your driving style as you go. Thrash it and it'll wind up farther before shifting and downshift quicker. Drive it like a hypermiler and it'll lug along shifting when it really has to.

Disconnect the battery for a period of time (just how long I'm not sure as I've seen many different values mentioned.)

FWIW - Mine is a manual and I find just the opposite in that I have to goose it a bit to avoid stalling when letting the clutch out. I've considered doing the reset and stomping on it for a while to see if the ECU adapts to the new style. Let us know how your experiment works out.
