Having the same problem, stalled my six speed at a light today like a new driver 
After driving almost everything on wheels, this does not feel right. How did you guys make out with the programmer?

Hi! Yep...I agree that it very well may be the "fly-by-wire" malady. I've said this statement many times in this forum....Jeep has put TOO MUCH DEPENDENCE on the computer! They really should have kept it to just what is needed to pass inspections and let the driver learn to get the most performance or efficiency out of his / her Jeep. I don't know what will happen when the computer pukes but I'm reasonably sure it won't "be a good thing"! Take care... Mike
As far as the lag I don't even notice it anymore. I don't think I compensate for it. When I drive my CJ right afterward I don't have any problems with the throttle. The only trouble I have with the switch is the brakes. My CJ has manual brakes so you really have to push them..

I can understand your comments about the computer and all. It's worth noting that one reason Jeep went to the drive by wire setup was to offer smoother, more controlled throttle action went in 4LO at low speed. The computer actually changes the throttle action so you don't get the throttle bobble that could occur in the TJ. In my experience it seems really nice, though is a minor annoyance on the highway.
