A couple of weeks ago my throttle body started sticking above 3500 RPM.
Had it happen about 20 times over a 1 week span. Temperature outside was -20 to -40°C.
I could tap the peddle and it would release unless it was close to full open. Then I had to shut the car off pull over and release at the throttle body. Happened 3 times on the highway. Better there than city streets.
Temperatures are now +5 to -15°C and problem has not returned.
Has anyone in a Northern climate had this problem. Iam wondering if tolerances at the low temperature are causing the problem.
Only other thing I can think of is crap built up in th throttle body.
I noticed in the manual it says to drain the coolant before removing the throttle body. If I dont how much of a mess will this make. Seems the throttle body is at the high point of the engine and the coolant would drain.
Thanks
