Wow.. definitely not the throttle body.. lol . And l dont know what a v tech switch is.. l would start by checking or replace the fuel filter.. and the next thing l would checkis fuel psi

Now I'm hearing (variable timing solenoid) alongwith the (OEM vtech spool valve) could be high possibility they are all one part I might need both hopefully that'll do it..wish me luck.
