Our car crapped out in Canton, Mo, we live 2+ hours north. She made it to the Napa store there and a mechanic hooked it to the computer and told her that the butterfly in the throttle body was only opening 27%. Our daughter drove up from Hannibal and brot her part way and I met them and picked her up and we came home. I'll borrow a trailer tomorrow and go haul it home. The mechanic explained to me that the throttle body is computer controlled and most likely needs a control module on the throttle body. Seeing as how tomorrow is Thursday before a long weekend, is this a part that I can just replace or are special tools and hooking up to the computer required? In other words, can an old shade tree mechanic replace the module and fix it or is it more complicated than that??? Thanks, Chris
