dealer says throttle module replacement?? V70-XC70 1999

He didn't take it apart. I saw him install it.
After he installed it it didn't show any codes. I drove it about 35 miles at around 4500
rpm hoping to clean the oxygen sensor, and when I got back it was still not showing any codes.
On the way home the check engine light was on and it actually flashed a few times as it
started to idle poorly.
The car has 100,000 miles on it so it probably is time for an oxygen sensor.
Planning to try that Monday. I drove it over to his shop (with considerable difficulty)
this afternoon.
From what I have read at various places (some at your suggestion) it seems that the throttle module
would give a different code from P1171.
There is a guy in Canada who is offering a DiCE and VIDA for about $800 on ebay.
I'm wondering if I oughta spring for it.
(Sure wouldn't be any help on the oldtimers!)
