Throttle Body service...
This week I brought my GTS in for an oil change at the dealership and notice something on the service sheet you sign. They had service I was getting done, oil change and something else I noticed was throttle body service. While I waited at the desk I noticed a few other 08 lancer customer service sheets with whatever they were getting done to their car and the same throttle body service thing on it.
Is it possible this is a service bulletin they had posted for 08 lancer with starting problems?
If anyone else goes into their dealership take a good look at the form you sign to see if this is on it as well. Just curious if that's the solution to the problem.

Throttle body service usually refers to cleaning of the throttle body. Why the hell would an 08 lancer need the throttle body cleaned already? Sounds like they are just trying to get money anyway they can.
As far as I know, the only TSB repair for the "starting issue" is the installation of four re-designed relays.

sorry I should of clarified it more...I didn't pay for anything, infact they didn't even mention to me but it was on the "to do list" basically. I saw this on various 08 lancer work orders they had on the desk.
I was just wondering it was a problem they don't want to mention to us. lol

no, i have a manual lol. if there was a clicking then we'd have some real problems lol. i mean, i could be stopped at a light in neutral, then try to put it in first, and it just gets stuck and wont go into gear. there's times i have to go through some of the gears first before i can actually put it in first gear
