I'm assuming you checked your throttle cable and all that, and got a friend to manipulate the throttle to make sure it wasn't just sticking open?

The problem maybe that your car just wants to go faster, and this is the only way it knows to tell you.

Where do you have the BOV recirculating too?

Do a search in the ECU Flash area. Throttle hang has been discussed quite extensively. I have it slightly but nothing I can't deal with. I'll be tuning it out when I get it back together. What ROM do you have? Who is your tuner?

I would make sure there isnt something in the intake. A friend of mine had a similar issue on a 1G DSM and he was confused forever then he found a rubber coupler somehow got missed on some work and was causing the throttle to hang open. My vote is physical mechanical interference.

You could just call diiirk and have him look at it.

[QUOTE=rd122481;8351942]You're right. But I live in Port Saint Lucie (about 1 hour & 45 minutes from AWD), & would like to see if it can be fixed without the drive. It is definitely not something physically bloc

Quick question: After you went back to recirq did you have it retuned? If not, and it was tuned to eliminate the rich spot after the shift, when you reverted back to recirq, the spot where the fuel was takin out, to eliminate the fuel is there, and now becomes lean. Maybe that lean area is now causing your throttle hang.

Does the gas pedal physically feel harder? Does the throttle "unstick" when you kick it / rev it a bit?

If so, you may have oil gunking up the TB plate. The front seal on my turbo is shot, and if I running at like 30-50% throttle and hit 10-15 psi, the throttle invariably sticks. The easiest way to tell is by taking the uip off and checking the inside of the TB. If it's all gunked up, take the charge pipe off the turbo and see if there is oil build up.

So I finally got around to replacing my PCV & the car drove fine with no throttle hang for a little...maybe 20 minutes. Then after pulling in to Autozone to use their OBDII code reader to clear the P0300 code I get when I start the engine cold (I'm on E85), I start to drive home & the throttle is hanging again. WTF?! Autozone also said that I have some EVAP code too, P0456. What the heck is going on?

I have hardly been driving to car because of this sh*t, I am so bummed. Everytime I turn around, it's something else with this damn car.
