Wife was driving on the highway and the car lost power suddenly. She was fortunate to be able to pull over to the side safely. I got there and when I tried to restart it, it was running rough. Not knowing what the issue was, we had it towed to the shop. They looked at it a few days later and told me that they could drive it just fine. However, they did read a code (sorry I forgot to ask what the code really was) and that code plus their diagnosis showed that the intake manifold runner control got stuck. Their hypothesis was that somehow that threw the engine into limp mode and turned off the throttle is what happened on the highway. I was quoted for about $930 to replace the intake manifold runner control.
I thought it was quite expensive and will try to do it myself as I've done some repairs in the past. I googled but was not able to find exact instructions on how to do this. Maybe you guys can give me some pointers on this. Any help will be much appreciated!
