Not so spontaneous, intended acceleration

[Loren]

If you've driven 6k in 2.5 weeks, it's probably 95% highway miles, and the ECU isn't "learning" very much. A week of stop-and-go "city" driving would really teach it something.

I'm pretty sure that disconnecting the battery for a bit will clear the short term ECU settings. Seems to work well for people who are doing things like swapping headers and such to get the car to re-learn it's new "self".

You know that the Yaris factory service manual is available online, right? You can read and learn a lot from them.

At least. And my Yaris experience has been a bit of an unexpected whirlwind affair. (Impulse buy, in a way.) I'm so used to knowing all the intimate details about my cars like the back of my hand... but only determined that the transmission is a sealed unit, using Toyota WS fluid, earlier today. The proper antifreeze is a non-silicate, hybrid organic acid formulation. (Not to be confused with a hybrid organic acid formulation with silicates, or a non-hybrid organic acid formulation with or without silicates.) The list of surprises goes on. What an interesting adventure this is turning out to be.

Perhaps I should change my name to Alice, for now?

And no. I didn't realize that the FSM was available online. I'll have a look. I'm sure that it will be most interesting. Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice...
