After a week in the shop (Tuffy auto service Center) the throttle body was replaced. I asked for and and received the old one in return. The engine runs ok, but the idle speed is slightly higher in P or N, and there is a stumble/hesitation/surge around 1200-1500 Rpm, depending on whether I accelerate or decelerate. I removed the air cleaner housing to check for a vacuum leak from an accidentally disconnected hose, and to my horror and disgust this is what I found: the throttle body is used!!
I paid $ 715 for this job, expecting a NEW part.
I am getting back to them next week to rectify the situation. To their credit, however, they cleaned the EGR ports/tube and fixed the P0402 code "free of charge", they claimed.
Stay tuned for further developments.....
