What brought it on -- why did you take it in to begin with? Throttle bodies are typically a "lifetime" type component. The drive-by-wire throttle motor may have issues but the rest is pretty much just a hunk of metal.

its probably the throttlepositioning sensor, the throttle body itself doesnt go bad. the sensor is only 106.00. dont let them screw you with labor costs. like he said, its just a hunk of metal, if your throttle has become irratic, up and down while at a stop sign or idling then it is the sensor
