That's weird, I wonder why a dirty throttle body would make the VDC light come on? I thought that came on only when it was something wrong with steering, traction, or braking. Let us know how it turns out!

Huck

What type of stillen pulley you have? Is it the underdriven?
Any significant change with acceleration?
I ordered the Standard type.

seems she is getting slight limp mode. When mine went into limp mode, the VDC, Airbag, Check Engine lights all came on.

I agree. Also, our throttle bodies are continuously at wide open...our VVEL controls air intake off the intake valves.

well, like i said, when mine went into limp mode, the VDC light is one of the lights that came on. I believe it along with the other lights form a combination that pertains to a certain code. My limp mode situation was fixed by replacing one of my throttle bodies btw!
