Well, yesterday I had the time to tear the intake all apart to get to the idle/full throttle switch to check it out. Bentley says maximum resistance between leads in either full throttle or idle should be 1 ohm, and mine is reading anywhere from 130 to 160 ohms. Seems like I found my problem and I'll order a new one monday. Is this a dealer only item where I'm gonna have to grab my ankles on it or can I get one cheaper somewhere else? I can't wait to pull the intake all apart again to replace it... blah. Thanks for all the help on this guys.
