Default Slight hesitation off of stand still

So I have noticed a slight hesitation from a stand still. I press the gas and there is a slight delay(maybe less then a second) before something happens. It also does not do it every time, it is pretty random. Is this a common problem and something I should worry about?

OK, you need to reset the throttle adaptation. So, remove the negative for 10-15 minutes, reconnect it again and take it for a hard spin.

I did have the battery disconnected a few days ago. It was also idling very low (around 400 RPM) after I reconnected the battery, but after a day of use it was back to normal. So this makes me think could the transmission be still learning after that battery disconnect, and that is why it is hesitating. BTW I have not noticed the hesitation for the last 2 days.

After you disconnect the battery it is recommended to clean the throttle body.

Are you using regular or premium gas?
