Default Attention nova owners!!!!
I have been having problems with my 98 C5 for about a month now and have tracked the issues down to my throttle body. Apparently the DRIVE BY WIRE motor has taken a dump and instead of spending 450 on a new throttle body I would like to double check by using someone elses just to see if it goes away.
SO I know Im asking alot of a total stranger but, WOULD anyone like to help me out by coming out to my house and allowing me to remove there throttle body from there car , and put it on mine just to see if the codes go away and fixes the problem??? Id be happy to supply beer and gas money for your time and headache.
If anyone can help give me a call 703-498-5124.... thanks Steve Bowen.
