First time poster, but a lurker!

I love my 06 Charger, but I started having regular trouble, with the ETC light flashing and the car stalling for the first 5 minutes it would run, every 4-6 days. I think ETC, take it to my local dealer and they find nothing wrong, but their head mechanic is a Charger club member, so he goes, with my permission, his best guess. He replaces the whole throttle body, which works for about a month, but guess what, the problem is back.

So the ETC is a piece in the throttle body, so the whole throttle body would have to be replaced again? I am a little confused, because this doesn't even happen all the time, and when the car warms up, it stops. I can't get it duplicate the problem at the dealer to save my life!

Anyone heard anything like this? It will for sure hesitate too when this happens, but will shut off during the middle of driving during the first 5 minutes like5-10 times before it stops.

Any help, anyone can give or suggest would be a life saver!

The ETC light is not a tell-tale of what the problem is necessarily. Codes and freeze frame data are the bread and butter. Your gas pedal is part of the ETC also. When that t-body was replaced, the ETC should have been relearned especially if the old one was bad.
