Hello, if anyone has followed this thread my car is now back running perfectly. I went to the Beckman Technology shop and they did have an
actuator.. I purchased it with the core charge and had full intention of bringing them back the old one. Turns out I looked at the installation and thought yes , I can probably do this but maybe it would be best to have someone who really knows do the installation. I brought the car to another Shop " Better Wrench" in Chapel Hill at the recommendation of the folks at Beckmans, and it turned out I did not need a throttle actuator at all. There was a another bad coilpak and as soon as it was replaced everything was fine.
Net saving on bringing the car there was probably $1200.00 , maybe more . I think the other shop would have worked his way to it eventually but there is a difference between a $10.00 an hour mechanic and a $75.00 an hour mechanic. They should have had it the first time and I think they were just ripping me off.
That stuff catches up to people and sooner or later turns around and bites them..
