Showing a single fuel-up


Sep 16 2022

I had the car to Scott's repair last Friday. They said: needs new O2 sensor which I did w/ Bosch, new pass side tie rod needed, which I have bought (Delphi - life warranty RA), and needs a new throttle body as the plate was worn which is causing the high idle which is what I took the car in for. That, and the P1136 code (lean fuel bank 1). Took in the car today for the TB and the idle was still high (1100-1200) same as before. Turned off the car to fuel up and it wouldn't restart. Called Scott's and they said tow it in Monday (call first). Tried again and it did start. Will drive tomorrow and try starts to see what problems persist. Could it be that the ECU just needs to re-learn the new TB??? To be continued...
