Figure it's all worth a shot at this point.

Adaptations resets show (sic - "should") only be used if you are having a particular issue and you are troubleshooting and you want to eliminate LEARNED behavior or values from the equation as a root cause of the issue you are having. NOTE: When resetting adaptations, ensure the vehicle engine remains off, but ignition is on.
I'm familiar with that issue. I remember that pesky adaptation glitch as far as 2009. When that goes bonkers you start your car and throttle just blips up and down. Only way around that is to reset again and follow that procedure of waiting.
