I think with mine, the center cog is just too worn between teeth. There is at least .5mm of play at thr idle position before the teeth grab traction with each other. The main cog is metal, not sure why the put platic for the other two. Seems like a design flaw to me.

looking at the cogs more in depth, there is more of a sharper V on the cogs that were used. There is a handful (4 or 5) cogs that have a more flat shap at the top. Also playing with the gears, there is a little bit of play where you can turn the center gear without contacting the other 2. There is a...

It doesn't look like mine had too much wear on the gears, and I'm thinking its just an electrical failure of some kind. Mechanism moves, no skipped teeth or anything. https://i.ibb.co/mRjH8Vr/20190128-231502.jpg https://i.ibb.co/0yypB9f/20190128-231507.jpg https://i.ibb.co/VLVg35K/20190128-231500.jp...

So I changed out the Throttle body and its running amazing again! Took me about an hour, and one bolt gave me a ton of trouble but it was well worth the time! Throttle positioning is running amazing, no more shaking, sputtering, and most importantly no more codes reappearing! Oxygen sensor readings ...

thanks for the advice. I oriented it to a way where the plastic pieces are at the top, allowing the solution to drain down the metal portion of the TB.

Went to pick and pull this morning. Wanted to actually have a throttle body in hand, so if i pulled my throttle body, and I noticed something wrong, I could swap it out in one go. If it ends up bad or not needed, I can exchange it for store credit within 30 days, so why not? haha. This car died via ...

MAF was changed twice. I'll just go poking around to get the throttle body off and get some pictures to see what we are dealing with.

Yea, I'll probably go the pick and pull way. I have the part number Throttle body I'll need. Wonder if It would be easier to take the manifold off to get the throttle swapped, or if I can sneak it in with just removing the air hose.

So while having my buddy watch the live feed while I did a longer drive, we noticed a strange trend from the MAF. The amount of air, usually stays in the normal area of 3-3.5 g/s. However, when I come to a complete stop, it will occasionally plummet down to 1.5 g/s, and jump right back up. It ends u...

Driving around, the throttle body never drops below 12.8%. It does seem to act normal qhen opening but wont drop to that magic 7-8% ever. Starting to be convinced its the throttle body causing the issue.
