Good Afternoon, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ill be helping you, so sorry to hear about the issues here on the Pilot. I know how frustrating it can be to deal with codes. Has the throttle body or intake tubing been messed with at all recently?

The throttle tubeBought a new one

okay thank you, \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* i ask is this code sets when an air intake leak has been detected by the computer. Recheck the work to ensure that none of the air intake tract is damaged, is loose or has any sort of issue that would cause an air leak. i would also recommend we inspect the throttle body to ensure its opening and closing as intended and then do an idle relearn procedure. The idle relearn procedure is as follows: 1. Clear memory with battery cables or scan tool. 2. Start engine with all electrical loads off and hold at 3000 RPM until the cooling fan cycles, then let the engine idle for 5 min and if the cooling fan turns on idling the 5 min of idle time, add that time to the 5 min. Example: if the cooling fan was on for 45 seconds, let the engine idle for 5 min and 45 seconds.

Ok
