He quoted me $600 to clean out throttle body..So, like most of us here I said thanks and went home and started out with a new PVC (it was clogged heavily) and cleaned out vacuum lines to carb from PVC. Tomorrow or better yet this weekend (if weather permits I will pull EGR and clean it and all other vacuum lines that need it) and while I am at it look into throttle body and shop vac it out..Mechanic did say this can be a "can of worms" the more you take it apart meaning SUT...Interesting though I mentioned the oil leak started same time my problem happened and he said "yeah, that happens with everything clogged up" otherwords oil being "pushed" out of seals..no aspiration..You know, funny thing is my oil pressure has been "higher than normal" since this has happened..Maybe he is making since in a way..Will keep you updated.

600$ Was he wearing a mask? Like the masked bandit?
A tooth brush and a can of carb/throttle body cleaner and 15 minutes work will give you that 600$ clean up.
5$ for cleaner and 15 minutes work = 2395$ hr labor there.
Also.
Throttle body deposits will give you a higher tps reading not low.
Get a repair flow chart for the tps sensor code.
And go all of the way threw it.
On the egr valve do some proper testing and inspection of EGR valve passages.
And confirm EGR valve is working right like opening and closing good.
