A couple of weeks ago my throttle body control light popped up on my dashboard. I had it towed and had my throttle body fuel injector replaced. It ran great for a week and a half then the light turned back on. I had the ground for it cleaned and my spark plugs replaced then after that it drove great again for about a week and a half. Then today the light came back on, and I began to smell burning rubber and my car was shaking. All of my tires. Breaks, and rotors are all relatively new. I did not see any smoke but would love to know a good direction of what to do next!

We need to run the codes to see which ones are stored so we can head in that direction to fix it. I would do a CAN scan. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

Here is one for about $99.00 if you need it:
