I’ll add to my troubleshooting.
My tcl light would stay on until the ecu had a chance to reset, or if I reset an electrical connection prior to what I’ve done today.
The maf sensor was a little dusty but otherwise solid. Replaced anyway since I bought it.
The throttle body took about 5-6 rounds of spray before it was clean. Each wipe was filthy until the last 2.
Now it takes a bit longer before the tcl light comes on, and it resets after each startup. So, drive, wot, tcl off comes on. I run in the store, come back, turn car on, no light until I get ignorant again.
that’s almost leading me in the direction of wheel speed sensors if logic is telling me correctly.
car bone stock atm. I’ve got a CAI and coilovers on the way.
