I read something in another thread that leads me to believe that the ECU learning the voltages of YOUR throttle pedal. These things can vary a little. The guy (I'd post credit if I remembered who it was) posted that Perrin told him to turn the ignition to on (engine off) and push the throttle to the floor about 20 times. Switch the ignition off, back on, and push the throttle to the floor another 20 times. After that you should be good to go.

I have no idea if that's real at all, but it's a viable theory for me, given how little I know about what's going on in the ECU.
