moronmri Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Well I took the car in and the technician said that this recall changed the timming for the throttle body. I guess my problem was the throttle body was gummed up a bit, so the dealership cleaned it and runs great now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolbox1 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I just recently had it done....immediatly felt the car idle much rougher....and actually stalled a few times whilr sitting at a light. Brought it back to thr dealerahip stating that the car ran fine before thr flash....after "checking it out" they called me saying i'd gave to pay 180$ to have the throttle body plate cleaned....after a few "choice" words lol they fixed it for free....just make sure when you leave you let the car idle. Note *my brother has the exact same car...same year (08) and had the exact same issue (at a different dealership). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soloz2 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I cleaned my throttle body when I first got the car, but I have noticed a rougher idle after getting this flash a few months back. I should probably take it apart and clean it up real well before winter!

mk6933 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I went to the dealer and got this done today. For some odd reason, my car feels slower when accelerating from a stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRXcer Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 FYI, we delayed doing this recall, but were just recently forced to because the DMV wouldn't renew the registration without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeRib Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Got it done last Friday. Don't notice anything different, not that I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
