Thanks for responses so far.
No, I don't know what a throttle body looks like. Most experience I have under the hood is changing a starter on a Jeep grand cherokee (it was very easy) and changing my oil.

I am now considering telling them to hold off on this job. They are also telling me that my exhaust needs new gaskets under the car (symptom: fluttering noise coming from underneath) and that they might end up shearing the parts because of rust/corrosion. He quoted me between $400 and $2100 for that. $2100 being if all three potential areas that could break do break. :O

Overall a $4100 phone conversation currently.

I don't remember the CEL. But my OBD-II never showed the same code they're seeing.

My problem is I just moved to this area and don't know who to trust and who is "familiar" with 370Zs. Maybe this is stuff any mechanic could do? Maybe I don't really need two new throttle bodies?
