Bad surging for the past couple months. Other day it wouldn't run at all.
Threw code P1230 and was immediately dropping into limp home mode. Check Engine light and TCS OFF light were on immediately.
I removed the throttle body, applied a thick (bad) coat of brush on electrical tape and one of the wires was crossing to the other 100% and the car would IMMEDIATELY trip into limp mode. I removed the throttle body, removed the bad coat of tape, grabbed a NEW bottle (thin and liquidy) and reapplied
car is running great now.
I've spoke to people elsewhere and found at least 4 other people with this problem. They were applying hot glue to the wires to insulate them. It worked for those 4 people. I used the Brushable Electrical Tape because that's EXACTLY what it's designed for (just make sure your bottle hasn't gotten lumpy and chunky like my first bottle)
