yeah you do. just disconnect the battery and then reconnect. put your key in the ON position but dont start it. go to your engine bay and you should hear a slight noise coming from the TB and then you'll hear it click when it has aligned itself. some people say you gotta wait up to 5 minutes but im pretty sure its done as soon as you hear it click. then start your car, and see if its fixed

okay I disconnected the negative cable, turned the key to the on position (just before turning it the full way to start) then walked over to my engine bay and I heard nothing.. do I have to wait a few minutes to hear something?

LOL, yeah you need to let the car sit for about 10 min or so to let everything re-set. THen hook it back up and do the throttle body alignment.

Let it sit with the battery disconnected for 10 min. Then reconnect it and turn the car to the on position. Listen in your engine bay for the hum from your throttle body. When it's stops making the hum it's finished. Should take anywhere from 30 sec to 2 min. I have never had one take longer then 1 though.
