Your dealership won't work on your car with your mods? They should have no problems working on it even with the different tune and mods. If that is the case you may want to take it somewhere else.

Before you take it to the dealer, try this. Take off the intake, get a towel, and wipe the inside of the throttle body. Clean it. Get someone else to hold the rotator open while you clean around it. You probably have some gunk in there and the cold weather probably just made it harder so your not getting any air to your engine.

Absolutly unnecessary to put the car back to stock to take it in. This is where you not being a jerk comes in. Go in there and ask them to look at it give them all the info you have it will come back as somethings wrong with the throttle body tell them you know there is a tsb on it. Be very nice and treat them with respect and they will fix it. You could try to clean that could fix it. I have nitrous on the car didn't remove a thing and they fixed the car under warranty being nice and respectful goes along way.

Remove the throttle body and spray the inside out with brake cleaner. There's only two nuts and two bolts to remove, really easy.

Might as well give the MAF sensor a shot of brake cleaner as well.

Best thing you could have done Imo....Most dealerships will use ANY excuses to get out of working on a car covered by warranty.....Any news yet on what was wrong with it?
