Tip #3: Tell the dealership to go have intercourse with themselves.

I saw this as well, but also saw a DIY video on replacing the actuators. Definitely considering that route.

GMWNashville, Thanks for the info! ill definitely look elsewhere now that i have the diagnosis report.

I would just do the acuators as low or spiking voltage can cause some strange warning lights to pop up. Hows the battery life / condition of alternator?

I was thinking the same. All of these warning lights only popped up after the engine reduce power came up. The price for the throttle actuators is actually to replace both. The battery was replaced around 1.5 - 2 yrs ago and seems to still be good. Not sure of how to check condition of the alternator but im not having any battery problems or issues starting the car.


All the replies are greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
