IIRC, you can disconnect MAF from wiring harness and run engine to see if symptoms go away.

Suggestion · Original poster
The car has over 600 hp and tons of performance upgrades...so, if I need to replace the throttle bodies, does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of upgraded throttle body I should get?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi...I have a 996 Twin Turbo with either a throttle body or computer problem. The car stalls and idles rough on occasion...And then, starts up a day later with no problems...The dealer is telling me that it's either the throttle body or the computer...my question is...has anyone else experienced this? The car has over 600 hp and tons of performance upgrades...so, if I need to replace the throttle bodies, does anyone have any suggestions on what kind of upgraded throttle body I should get? Thanks so much for the help!!

AOS or leaking injector, plug, or... IIRC, you can disconnect MAF from wiring harness and run engine to see if symptoms go away. (You don't list MAF as a suspect, but I'm lumping that under "computer".) Is TB clean/free of oil? After market oiled air filter can foul MAF or a failing AOS. Check engine light on? If so, what are error codes? Sincerely, Macster.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
