Code 11510 and bad idle oscillation on startup?

Tronner · 08-14-2012, 04:10 PM

Has anyone else seen code 11510? Every other day or so, I get a crazy startup idle oscillation that is really bad. The car pulses terribly for about a minute then finally settles down with half engine light on. Once it calms down the light stays on but the car seems to run fine although of course I haven't pushed it at all, just cruised home. Shiv said it's related to throttle valve potentiometer plausibility, which could be a vacuum leak. Where should I start looking? Here is a video when the idle is actually starting to calm down. The first 10 seconds are so are more representative of what it's doing. It's much worse at times.
