These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Car is still not idling at normal on cold starts. Someone told me I may need to clean the throttle body. What and where is this on the car? Is this something I can do myself? Please keep in mind that I have minimal mechanical skill.

POST 2Original post

whats not normal, check engine light? tip or stick, how long does it last, does it do it every time?

POST 3Original post

You have a Gallardo and you want to self-clean the throttle body on the 996? Tell us about how the Gallardo drives (when it's not in the shop).

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not sure what having the G has to do with my throttle body...but yeah, I want to clean it myself. Just want to know my car a little more. If I can fix something myself, I dont mind doing it. Not a money issue, just a feeling of usefulness issue! The G is fun to drive. Not as comfortable as the P car or as easy to drive. Great power but not as quick off the line as the P. Definately a head turner.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Youre right. That looks a little more complicated than something I would like to tackle. Car is a stick. It only happens on the first start of the day. Car idles at about 500rpm. When restarted it goes right up to where its supposed to be. Taking it to Carls Repair next week to have Fabspeed exhaust and short shift put in. I'll let them fix it. Thanks for the advice!

POST 7Original post

sounds to me like the fuel pump bleeding down the next time you go to cold start it turn the key on then off about 3 times before cranking it does it do it?

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thanks 99firehawk! will give that a try.
