Re: throttle body

Is your throttle body all gunked up with carbon?

I took mine off a while ago (00 Firebird) and cleaned it out pretty good... I had about 1/8" of buildup on the back of the... I don't know the name for it, the disk inside of the throttle body.

It might be that you have some build up gumming up the throttle body... because the thing is spring loaded, so it should snap back. If it isn't gummed up, and it's just loose in there... the spring might be broken on the inside? Just a guess.

I can't give you any help on the code, though... sorry.
