Gadgeter 2nd Gear November 25, 2004 Share November 25, 2004 maybe you can try to clean the throttle body instead of changing. Is it still under warranty? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi Neutral Newbie November 25, 2004 Author Share November 25, 2004 3 years and 3 months i think no warranty. Wah the mechanic say if you change outside also got to bring back there to do tuning or dunno what cos only they have the computer to do it. They also say cannot use recon cos although may be able to start but may keep vibrating. So in old cars is called carburettor, new cars is called throttle body.

Gadgeter 2nd Gear November 25, 2004 Share November 25, 2004 It might be the case of a dirty throttle body... You can't trust the mechanic with 100%... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vivi Neutral Newbie November 25, 2004 Author Share November 25, 2004 He told me that we cannot see the inside, probably the filter is dirty and so there is no choice but to replace the whole thing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slonez Clutched November 25, 2004 Share November 25, 2004 Agree . No harm try cleaning first & see how. Mechanics like doctors, better get 2nd opinion. But $1k+ for throttle body is too much. Remember ITR also not so ex! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
