Im guessing your talking about the procedure explained on tachnosquares website to reset throttle positioning and idle. I am going to try that this weekend. I have to take my car in for the feathering issue i just never have time and its annoying me

OK I also have an 05 Z and I have the Exact problem. I hate that pop noise at idle. I had 6,500 miles on it when I heard this noise. I had the dealership look at it and they said it was completely normal on the Z's. They even offered me to take one for a test drive and once it was warmed up to listen for it. He checked for any codes..None. Then reset the ecu to learn how I drive. I dont know what to think. All I know is I better hurry up and figure this out before the car is no longer under warrenty!

Any more ideas people? Let me know I have to get some answers before I start modding and something breaks=No warrenty then. Let me know..

Mine does it too. Seems like I've read about this before as being normal...

I have this as well, would like to know what others tried that has worked. I dyno'd the car recently, and it looks like the sputter/pop doesn't seem to have affected power output.
