Consumer Description

Vehicle stalls and doesn't start. Would also occasionally shake and the check engine light comes on. Throttle body was replaced less than 1 year ago and it is currently not starting due to the same issue. Needs another throttle body. It's the position sensor that seems to go bad due to all the heat generating around it. Both times it really acted up once the weather warned. Unfortunately you can't just replace the sensor, the whole throttle body needs replaced. At $350 each from the factory. Online it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem.
