I had my doubts but they're the experts. They replaced it the car still won't go and they say it most now the engine control module is the culprit, ($2800!) and it seems they're still guessing! WTF!
Why can't they figure that crap put without throwing my money around?
To top it all off, they left me feeling time my car wasn't worth spending the money on!

Two weeks wasted.

So, assuming it is the Engine Control Module, do they really cost that much? I see prices all over the map.
Any help appreciated.
Your being taken.
Any shop that says you have no throttle response because of a bad MAF sensor is ripping you off.
The car will run with the MAF unplugged or no MAF at all and have throttle response.
They are robbing you plan and simple.

Dumb question.. but have you visually confirmed the throttle is opening/closing when pressing the pedal?
