    Thanks, yeah it's super easy to replace, just trying to avoid more repair costs. I just spent $1k for tires, oil, and alignment. I don't think it's stuck open, idle is actually really good, even when it has problems starting. Once I get it started that is.

    That's the other thing, when check engine came on and I pulled over. I could get it started, but it would die right away, just wouldn't hold idle. I started it, held my foot on the gas to keep idle, and put it in gear. In gear it seemed to be fine ...

    IMO, it sounds more like a fuel pressure regulator issue.

    Fairly common, with identical symptoms.
