[QUOTE="zackdihaw, post: 1063867988, member: 38867"] Hi guys, Ive had problems with my idling(engine stops when unstable) for quite sometime. I took the effort to take my Altezza to Trial and got the MAF sensor replaced with a new one. Magically the problem got fixed instantly.....it was happy times for a few weeks until it got worse. Now whenever I go over (usually at >50kmh) potholes, speed bumps or uneven roads, engine check light comes on and throttle body stops responding. I usually will just stop the car by the roadside, turn off the engine and turn it back on. This fixed the problem temporarily, but another pothole, throttle [I]weng[/I] again. It happened 5 times during my trip from KL to JB yesterday. Very dangerous since I was crusing over 120kph..... Just came back from the workshop and diagnosed the car and it came out that there was a fault/error reading with my throttle body motor. Other parts came out with no faults. It could not be reset or fixed, I was told. I was advised to look for a new throttle body.....Dont know how much it will cost (too afraid to ask with wife beside me that time) Anybody had the same problem....how was it solved? Should I start looking for a new replacement or halfcuts....? Im just afraid if buy a new one, and it turned out it was not the throttle body....huiishh...i can go pokai....what do you think guys...?
