Why is this problem reoccurring with my car? ?
Hi, I recently had the throttle body replaced on my car after having issues with it for a while (car jolting when driving, revving when idle and acceleration very poor) it cost around 1400 to get the part and fit and I was reassured that this would be the end of it. But yesterday when I was driving I had the same dash lights come on (check engine, I think the power steering and the one for tyre pressure) and it’s driving like it has the same issue, but now the lights have gone off and I’m confused. Does anyone know what this could possibly be? I’m at a loss and don’t have another 1400 to spend on this part. Thanks

Pulling the OBD2 trouble codes will tell what things need testing for repair. There are no codes that say "replace this thing or that". Testing suspect parts and systems tell whether they are broken OR NOT. Car part stores will pull codes for free, but write down the codes exactly, because they are specific. When you look them up they will mean something and guessing doesn't mean much, as you can tell by paying $1400 and still have the problem. Yeah, the parts and labor were that expensive, and more so, since it repaired something that wasn't the whole trouble.
