Drive-By-Wire Fix
I'm a fair man, but this drive-by-wire is making me absolutely crazy.
Sorry, was channeling Jack Nicholson there.
But seriously, I hate the delayed acceleration caused by the damned drive by wire with the fire of a thousand suns, and I have seen that there are fixes out there for this problem (i.e. sprint booster) just not for the JK, or the minivan with the same engine.
Has anyone found one?

I had issues with the drive by wire as well, much like the OP... however, since I've hit the 5000 or 6000 mile mark, I haven't had the issue anymore.
Maybe like someone else said... I'm used to it or it's used to me now.
But, it was frustrating as @#!# getting to that point.

I had a knee problem and was not able to drive my "X" for about two weeks. So my wife drove it everyday to work.
Today I drove it to work for the first time and the Jeep felt differient. My wife drives more granny like. I think the computor has learned her habits.
After I drive it more, I'll see if the Jeep begin to feel the same to me as it did.
Just for info, I have driven it for most of it's 12,000 miles.
Does the computor learn as it goes along with other drivers? If so I wonder how long before it relearns me.
One other thing.
When I first said that I wanted a JK all I heard from my wife was "what do you want that for? They are dangerous . They turn over, bla bla bla."
Now after she drove it for two weeks. I had to fight her to get it back. She loves it. Now she's talking about one for herself next year.
