HERES VIDEO:

I just got a half engine 1/2 power on Nav.checked codes & Throttle valve potentiometer 1, plausibility with regard to air mass,Throttle valve potentiometer 2, plausibility with regard to air mass.Before i turned car off i decided to check under hood.i found this,the blow-off valve opening & closing & almost stalling?Is it doing this cause of the throttle body?I had this code about a month ago & its back again.See throttle body is around 400.00 new.Trying to diagnose it if something else can cause this.Anyone run into this same problem?

I had similar issues with the same errors. They were very sporadic, and sometimes would not return for months, but at the end of the day, changing the Throttlebody was the only thing that fixed it for good. It's a super easy DIY, and you can the part for about $300-350 online.

I think it's the actual electronics inside that wear out slowly, I don't think cleaning really helps. You will eventually just have to pony up for a new one. You could always also try to source a low mileage one from a wrecking yard. For the price of 1 new one, I would imagine you could 2-3 used ones. The DIY is easy enough, it could be worth it, especially if you don't plan on keeping the car forever.

I replaced throttle body and codes came back. I think, ultimately, it may have just been a poor connection on one of the subconnectors of the JB4 install. I have several other threads about it on various forums and one person suggested cleaning the contacts and bending the pins a bit to get a more sold connection. Since doing that I haven't had the problem, but fingers still crossed. I think the old throttle body was probably fine...

Yeah im keeping car.I have looked into sourcing a junkyard salvage or buying used from one of those online autoparts store but not sure if they are reliable from some reviews i have read so.
