Called dealer they said it was ok to drive?Drove straight to dealer and they gave it a quick look and said it will be fine till they have someone to look at it on tues morn? Any idea what happ is this a common issue? Thanks
I would suspect this is another throttle body issue. There is a TSB on this issue as well as a recall for some vehicles. If you will PM me with your VIN# I can see if your vehicle qualifies for the recall.
I always figure out a way to mark the part to be replaced, if I can get to it. Maybe a red sharpie and put a stripe on it.
I had the exact same problem on my 2005, the code indicated it could be one of 3 parts dealing with the throttle body. I kept clearing the code waiting for a total part failure. The last time it threw a code, out of curiosity I took some carb cleaner and cleaned out the throttle body with a tooth brush and didn't have another problem the last 3 years I owned the truck. Kinda hard to believe they are still having this problem after all these years.
A lot of the issues are due to the quality of the gasoline. Ethanol doesn't help and a lot of gas out there doesn't have the detergents they use to have, with the refiners going to a less polluting and less expensive substitute.
