Does it ever stop? code 42

Post by 92whitelegacy »

Ok i cleared my ecu a week ago and everythings been hunky dory. Just now i went out to the garage to check the codes for shits and giggles, to see if nething came back...1 damn code came back! :evil:

42: idle switch

What should i do to fix this? could this be part of the reason my cars feeling slugish?

Easy fix. The idle switch is built into the TPS sensor.

Get a good used throttle body and swap it on. The CEL should go away.
