My 2016 with 106k miles has developed an intermittent power loss while driving. No codes, no misfires. Started about 2k miles ago. Does not matter the speed, the RPM goes to idle, and within seconds the power returns. May happen consecutive times and then the symptoms vanish for many days. I’ve been researching the internet for weeks and fellow DIYers seem to be throwing parts at the problem without updating once the issue is solved (I’m also guilty of this).
Today I inspected the throttle body and noticed black specs that seem to be carbon. I’m not sure if this is the issue, but it seems plausible. Look closely at the picture and you’ll see one big spec and some pepper flakes.
Curious if anyone has already been there, fixed it, and can clue me in as to what to do next if the symptoms return. It could be SO many things, and has been a real challenge to self-diagnose.
