Throttle body issues or transmission failing?

Help! Acura 2003 3.2 TL: Losing power intermittently at varies speeds then regains speed suddenly during acceleration or after parking and restarting engine and driving? Had Throttle Body cleaned a few weeks ago. No car problems before throttle service.

Probably not the transmission. Try taking some brake cleaner and clean the springs around the throttle body. And when done apply some all purpose grease to the springs. Also, when this person cleaned the throttle body he might have forgotten to lube up the throttle body plate hinges. A little lube on a q-tip and apply directly to the hinges inside the throttle body.

Thanks

I'm looking to have Them revisit their diagnostic results based on what their Manager stated what was probably the issue of the lack of performance in my vehicle.
