Took the car to Holden today for repairs

Getting the car fixed today.

I previously had starting and stalling issues. Codes pointed to CAS, so i changed the CAS myself with a aftermarket model. Worked on the day but not the day after, so i had to put the old one back in.

Anyways, decided to get it done at Holden. Im sick of trying to fix things myself to save a buck.

In regards to stalling while driving or at the lights, they said that the throttle body needed cleaning (carbon build up or something). Are they pulling my middle leg or does that sound legit???

Anyways, i pick it up this arvo, and its costing me $420 (included diagnosis, supply and fit CAS and clean throttle body).

I hope this fixes it once and for all.

hmm, does sound a little shonky but if the IAC is plugged up then that will definetly cause drivability issues. Particuarly when attempting to idle or VERY low rpms while driving. the IAC is mounted on the throttle body.
