problem #1

Mar 132007

9-5 6-cyl

  • 78,000 miles
The check engine light came on in my car and based on previous experience I immediately drove to the repair center. They checked the codes and discovered 3 errors related to the throttle body. They cleared the codes, drove the car and the light came on again. Since they did not have the part in stock I attempted to drive it home but the engine would barely start and even after starting it ran rough. I refused to drive it since my experience so far has been when a component on this car fails, the car does not degrade gracefully but rather stops abruptly (using in the middle of the road).
