Scanned it several times. The one consistent code is P1081. Other scans produced codes that have been resolved and reset. But this P1081 keeps coming up.

How many miles did you have on the car when you went to the Xemodex throttle body? I'm thinking I'm going to need one at some point.

If you are pulling a P1081 then it is pretty much a sure bet that the new antenna will fix it.

Got the part this afternoon, wouldn't you know the car just kept starting without any problems today. Finally got it to fail. 1 screw, 2 screw, 3, pop out the steering column housing, unplug old antenna ring, plug in new and it started like a champ. And then started up again and again. Problem solved.
