Could you give some insight as to why you should or should not do this?
This stuff was derived from personal experience after about 40 flashes.

The ecu has to learn the zero point for throttle from what i have been told and experienced. So after a reset the thinking is leave the throttle alone turn on car and let the ecu do it initial checks and find throttle zero point.

It also does some cam /vvt checks at first switch on and startup after reset.

Thinking is leave it alone and let ithe ECU do what it needs to do without messing with throttle, or driving. It will sort itself out no matter what you do but it just a method of speeding things up. I hope
