Started last week with the check engine light throwing codes for the sensor and banks 1/2 running too lean, with a rough idle that seemed to skip when I would start accelerating.
So today I cleaned the throttle body and MAF, reflashed the ECM and did some brief driving afterwards. The idle seems to be normalish, but now while I'm driving, if I take my foot off the gas to coast, the throttle continues to give some gas. Quite an odd sensation when you normally would be coasting through a parking lot and it keeps lightly accelerating. The CEL is not back on yet but it does seem to be a problem with the sensor if it is driving itself!
Anyone else have a problem with this before? My shop quoted me $270 for the part (have to replace the whole throttle body) along with 2 hours labor, looking at about $520.
