I'm surprised the dealers are is struggling with this , its a known issue and has a bulletin on it .. Change the plastic throttle housing and see how it goes ...
Where's the throttle housing located - I couldn't easily identify it when having a quick peek. My car's just stuttered 4 times out of 4 starts, on the first attempts, so it may be time to change it, given that it's not a lot of money for the part.
