Hmm. I don't show any evidence that I need to get mine in for the stall bug reprogram. I wonder if mine was already done before I purchased it. If so, it didn't fix the sluggishness problem at all because it's been doing it since I purchased it.

Yeah that's what I meant by not having any evidence that I need to have it done. It showed the ECB recall but that was it. I'm down to nothing under my VIN number now which makes me think it was done before I bought it. Thanks for the help.

CLean your throttle body with SeaFoam on a rag- then pour 1/3 in the tank, 1/3 in the oil, and let the final bit get sucked up by your vacuum hose off the brake cylinder. There are write-ups. WHen you restart it after letting it sit, you will bellow smoke out the pipes. Change the oil within 200 miles or so, and your golden.

I did SeaFoam on the TB and the vacuum like at 100,000 miles on my 07 and the idle dropped by 350rpm.
