1999-S80-T6- Bad Idle & DTC code
This is my first post so i hope i do it right. Thanks for all your Help!
I have worked on many cars over my lifetime ... but never have had a resource like this forum to ask questions ... just parts store manuals and occassionally a factory manual.
I went to the dealer today on the Throttle Body Recall, and they did a computer download and after that the car ran like a new car (well at least 98%) When i got home 27-30 miles through traffic i shut it off. When i recranked it less than 1/2 hour later to check something ... it was back doing the same loping idle 500-1100 rpm and almost stalling.
I have a feeling i have a bad throttle body ... they service guy said that would be covered if it was bad ... under the recall.
So i am also running a DTC code ... i don't think they have any connection but i know i have a lot to learn also.
The code on my ACTON scanner says it's a DTC P1238 but i don't know enough about that yet to do anything.
Lastly i would really like to find a service manual (better than the cheap ones) ... I saw on another thread about the VADIS download DVD ... would that answer most questions i would have on servicing this car?
Thanks !
Jim

1999 - S80-T6- Idle & DTC problem ...
Thanks for your help on the DTC and VADIS.
Does the idling problem seem consistent with a Throttle Body problem?
Can anyone explain why when they did the download that it cleared up the idle for more than 30 miles. Then when i shut off the motor it came right back. (the battery was pretty fresh)
Any thoughts as to where i should start looking for the p1238 DTC problem?
