Must be an electrical problem. The TB is just a housing with a flow restrictor plate in it that opens and closes. Pretty simple design, so I doubt if you're having mechanical issues.

I just found out my car needs a new throttle body also so now I am stranded without a car. Infiniti has no loaners so I am rather upset at this service to say the least.

Was that you last night on Broward and Federal going north, well anyway it was a girl in an AB coupe with a spoiler and no tint and she was talking on her cell. I was in the other AB, you don't see 2 of those together too often

Believe it or not the manager of the store, not the service department, Brian has been awesome. When he realized how upset I was at not having a loaner he immediately told me to come down and he'd get me a car. They ended up giving me an 05 sedan demo. I was impressed to say the least.

Glad to hear it. I've only been blessed with 8am appointments where they don't even look at my car until 9:30 (while I'm inside waiting). Either that or it's the 2 hour power oil change.
