looking for a little help w/ clarification.
My daughter bought a 07 Jeep Compass used last May. she purchased an extended warranty w/ it.
this last weekend her "electronic throttle control" light came on. had loss of power, could not go over 20 mph. shut engine off, restarted and it worked ok. but she was due to drive to her boyfriends house 30+ min away, so would let her take the chance of it happening again.
took it to "a" chrysler/jeep dealer(not the one purchased from) the extended warranty company, (not a chrysler/jeep backed) denied the throttle body.
in the warranty it states under electrical "....electronic fuel injection system (including all input/sensors and output/control units, except EGR valve, related to the fuel injection system) electric ignition module, distributor and coil, engine management control unit, knock sensor and oxygen sensor."
wouldn't the throttle body fall under the "output/ control unit?
what does "EGR" stand for? electronic gas regulator? which in that case, is another word for throttle body?
thank you in advance for your input on this matter
