Thanks, Mike. Your reply contradicts what the service rep told
me, but I think she was just trying to make the point that if
something other than the throttle were the problem, the
diagnostic fee would stand.
To zero in further, though, does anyone have any thoughts on
whether I should let the problem worsen or have it diagnosed now?
I'm concerned that an infrequent intermittent electronic problem
could easily be missed, that the dealership won't want to do a
$1000 warrantee job without substantial proof an eligible item is
the cause.
OTOH I don't want to be caught on the road with a car that
doesn't run. I was lucky this time, that the problem manifested
in my driveway.
Thanks,
p.
