HELP! Can someone explain this...
This morning I started the car up. Idle was rough and engine died. I cranked up again and CEL came on. Used ODBII reader and found code 1518 (Throttle Jacking Unit, Control Range - Below Limit)

I really don't understand this terminology. Can some one explain in more detail. Thanks!

Removed throttle body from car, removed & opened throttle actuator/servo. Cleaned with electronic cleaner. Reinstalled, voila!
