The fuel injection system, the throttle plate has a lot of carbon build up
2007 Toyota dropped off at Toyota because the left rear turn signal is not working. Bulb and socket were not the issues. Also, needed new windshield wipers.
Well, they called and talked my mom into this... "The fuel injection system, the throttle plate has a lot of carbon buildup on them. When it builds up with carbon like that it reduces the amount of air that goes inside the engine, and it drops the idle and the gas mileage, so if the car stalls out it could be because the throttle plate is getting stuck." No mention of turn signal or wipers, but spark plugs and cleaning the throttle plate are costing $395.00. Did they pull a fast one and then some? |
