Int-X Light Question

So the battery died on the car. After attaching the jumper cabled I noticed with the key in the "On" posisiton the int-x had only the green light on, not the yellow. I know the yellow light is susposd to be on. Before i start pulling fuses does anyonr know the issue? Im going to guess its going to be a fuse.

throttle position sensor is miscalibrated.

Need to go into the software and adjust the throttle till it zeroes out.

Hmm, wonder how that happened with the car simply sitting? Any clue?

Maybe it got reset when you jumped it.

I would check your maps before you go into boost.

Is this a new install? Cause usually the throttle pos. sensor can vary from car to car and needs to be calibrated before operating on a specific vehicle.

Its a somewhat new install. The reason the battery died is the car has been sitting for a month. I did the install and drove it to where im storing it until I get it tuned. I get it tuned next week so It would be nice to get it running again before hand. The previous times I tried to start it the yellow light was on. Thats why I'm confused about it changing.

The throttle could be sticking or something, try checking it for obstructions.

I have been out of town and unable to get to the car until today. I checked the throttle body and noticed with the car in the on position it was making a humming sound. The light on the int-x was still not on. I decided to start the car which it did right away. I let it idle for about 5 min then killed it without moving it. I moved the key to the "on" posistion. The yellow light on the int-x was back on. I disconnected the battery then re-connected it. The light went out. The car started without a problem again. I decided to buy a serial to USB cord to try to see the throttle position but i was unable to see the information on the int x. I noticed I only got the serial cable when I bought the int-x and not the other peice. Is this required for the laptop to interface with the int x? Im guessing yes. I have a appointment to get the car tuned on tuesday do you think PFS will have the required hardware? If not anyone in Maryland have one I can borrow?
