Whilst out for a drive today the throttle body stuck open. Data logs show it was stuck at 28% and was teetering on the edge of boost on the charger. Very scary moment. Probably the most dangerous thing to happen to me in 18 years driving. Luckily myself and the car are unscathed and because there was no traffic I managed to make it off the road safely to free the throttle body off. Safe to say I have fitted the Honda throttle back on. Change of underwear required.
