Throttle Body Replaced
Any idea why it goes? Was replaced under emissions warranty for free. I'm at 52,000 miles. Guess it won't need replacing for a while.

Its a pretty low wear item, not sure why it would go bad. Maybe a sensor went bad that was inside it, and they didnt sell it separate?

TB's don't go bad. ...Unless they crack or get damaged some how.

It was probably a sensor that's welded on and won't be replaced separately at the dealership.

service bulletin V-1-05 issued on jan. 12th 2005 :
throttle plate angle and stopper modified to eliminate the chances of carbon buildup causing the plate to be harder on first pedal press on a cold start or clapping after a wide open throttle.

replace throttle body under base warranty(3y 40m)

That sounds more like an IAC valve, either bad or dirty. It is a replacable part on the TB. If you got a new TB & it works, great for you, but I doubt it needed to be replaced.

I've been having that problem. Too bad I'm way out of warranty.

I don't know. They checked it and said it needed replacing. Problem solved so I guess it was that.
