Here goes...

Check engine light came on about a month ago. Tried to have it checked at my local mechanic but no codes appeared when hooked up and the light just went off on its own. However, it came on and stayed on shortly thereafter. So I took it to the dealer to have the code read. They said the code that came up was showing that the throttle module would have to be replaced. I noted nothing abnormal about performance to them. Now a month later she is showing symptoms of hesitation. I really notice it at speeds between 55 and 70. The easiest way to describe it is that it feels like the brakes were tapped for a second.It's getting worse. The check engine light has not come back on again. 2 years ago she was idling funny and my local mechanic just removed the throttle cover and cleaned and all was good. But now he says that won't fix this.

Dealer estimate a month ago was $1050 to replace the throttle module. Augh! Help! Is there any other fix than this?


Thanks in advance!
