Did you keep the part? If not can you go back and get it?
I need it for additional evidence. Yours is the highest mileage I have seen replaced.
What I need are the end caps. I don't believe there is anything else that I can test.
First: Does the throttle move smoothly? When pushed fully closed can you see light around the edge of the throttle plate, or is cruded up enough to cause the throttle to stick?
Take an electric screwdriver with a T-20 tip, ( a star shaped tip), a pair of wire clippers and a blade screwdriver. Unscrew the end caps, 4 screws each. Wedge the 1/2" x 1" rubber cap off of the left side and clip 2 wires. Then brute force wedge the end caps off The solder joints near the front of the module will break nicely. This does not damage the potentiometer. Send me the complete end caps. These contain the resistance film and the wiper. One mechanic in Denver reported oil in the end cap, especially if it was a turbo. Are the end caps clean and dry inside ( of course there will be some engine dirt on the outside. )
Copy down the information off of the front label, is the label yellow or white. If available, which I doubt, the model and year of the car. Also the date codes off of the module. One is molded into the cable where it connects to the module and one is cast into the casting, it is a circle with a bar across it. Put each endcap pair in a separate baggie with the data. Then the post office now has a 8.5 x 11 x 6" box that is a flat rate priority mail for about $7.85. You should be able to get a dozen or so pair in the box.Also at www.usps.com you can print an address label with or without postage on line. It's slick.
If you finish taking it apart there is a dandy magnet in it.
