Yes, that will set it back to the default setting.

BTW..... Something just occured to me.
I frequently access WOT as I'm not concerned about fuel economy. Even at its lowest, it's good enough for me.

So maby if you are constantly driving for economy, the ECU might be getting programed with some throttle lag to increase gas mileage.
This might explain why I don't have any lag.

It would be interesting to know how people drive and how it realtes to throttle lag.

It is an issue with DBW as said before but not a big one, the lag on mine is something like 1/4 of a second and the easiest way around it is to wait until your foot is off the accelerator until pressing the clutch.
If you are a slow shifter then you won't even notice it it's that small, even I only notice it when shifting it's small enough that when going from coasting to accelerating I don't notice any lag.

The light pedal is just something you will get used to as you drive more, you could try wearing shoes with thinner soles.

the Genesis Coupe is plagued by rev-hang.. the reason it's noticeable is because the car actually has power :) a reflash solved this problem on the genny and also gave us an extra 60lbft of torque.. can't touch that with ANY throttle-control mod for the yaris :(

Just stick a sponge or a stress ball underneath the accelerator. Works for me.
