Great... not I can use the TSB as a pretext for the dealer to clean my throttle bodies - since it's guaranteed that I will feel too lazy to do the DIY again

 

Ok just got back from the dealer.
They did TSB with new software and mechanic told me that it will not fix this problem and i need to clean throttle bodies, they wonted $150 and more $$ to remove my strut bar. I will drive around for few weeks and see if tsb solved this problem.

 

If it doesnt solve the problem clean out the TB yourself following the simple DIY on this forum, you might have to perform the pedal method for the idle relearn which take a fews tries but is worth saving $150!

 

I had the dealership clean my throttle bodies twice at no cost and it still didn't fix the problem. It was NOT the throttle body for my car.

 

Bluestacy04 My tech said he and tech support believed it to be the IVT covers and quoted $1800 so they ordered the parts. All under warranty but by then I was tired of the guessing game so I traded it in.

 

Yeah I'm just going to replace mine. I've replaced everything else anyway, LOL!

 

Software update didnt solve my problem,still the some problem. I guess next thing to try is to clean throttle bodies. What is IVT covers? thank you

 

i think its abbrev for Intake Valve Timing Control

 

^ Thats it. The covers have magnets and sensors on them that send readings to our computers. Seems like more and more covers are going bad for people. Easy job to do yourself if you have the time, but the parts are pricey!

 

my throttle body

 

It has burn marks on it, is it normal?

 

anyone?

 

Doesnt really look like burn marks. Just looks like junk on the flaps. Mine was like that and now its all clean. Should be able to find my thread with pics.
