      LOL......& here I was thinking you lucked into a rear upgrade somewhere back up the road...

      Sorry about that, I should have reread that last post a bit better. After clocking out for the day, getting into car stuff then hopping on the PC I`m worn out. While I was focusing on just the rear brakes and what caused the issue I wound up replacing the front brake parts as well. Went all against "if its not broke don't fix it" but those front piston boots and brake lines were on borrowed time.

      As I posted if you want to do your own repairs you'll need a service manual to guide you, the vehicle is an '08, you should be using a proper scanner (not a reader) such as a Snap-On/Matco/OTC to recalibrate the throttle pedal, without that you may not be successful. You CAN try the below......but #4 is where you may fail 1 Turn the ignition to ON (do not start) and wait 3 seconds. 2 Turn the ignition OFF and wait 10 seconds. 3 Turn the ignition back to ON (do not start) and wait 3 seconds. 4 Depress the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and release it 5 times within 5 seconds. 5 Wait 7 seconds then depress the accelerator pedal and hold it for approximately 20 seconds until the check engine light stops flashing and stays on solid. 6 Release the accelerator pedal and start the engine. Let it idle in park for about 3 minutes.

      So... do you know how to know how to recalibrate the accelerator pedal position sensor or not? I'm not buying the manual you mentioned because as soon as I get this thing fixed, they're selling it. And I need to get it done asap. I was looking for an answer to the question asked.
