basically the dealer wants to charge you an arm and a leg for letting them refill your windshield washer fluid at those service intervals...its a suckers game.

Your throttle body has carbon buildup clean it. That's what mine was doing and after the clean it's just fine now. What's happening is it sounds like maybe your throttle plate is sticking to the carbon.

Buy some TB cleaner and use a brush to get up n there and scrub it and all around there. I'm not sure if it's necessary to completely remove the TB but I wouldn't think so. If you plan on removing the sensor under the TB please disconnect the negative battery cable first otherwise you will have to relearn the TB position.

I have had mt JWT intake on for probably 20k miles with no problems.

I recently sent my car in for the 30,000 mile service at my dealership. They did the oil change and the rest of the usual stuff, plus the fuel fill line recall while it was there.

I get the car back and now whenever the car is warm and I try to start it it will stall on me. If the car is cold it is fine starting up. Perhaps as part of the service they re-set my idle and just did so too low?

No changes have been made to my intake in probably 5K miles.
