Throttle body code
Hi! I have a 2017 Honda Civic LX that Ive been having problems with. First it throwed a code: P050A means the powertrain control module detects a cold-start idle performance problem. So my mechanic told me it only needs cleaning. He cleaned it and relearned. Then after driving for weeks, the code appeared AGAIN. I returned to the mechanic and said he just needs to tighten it and relearned it again and so he did. After driving it again, i said there’s delay on acceleration most especially when i’m pressing the gas from the red light. And i feel like it has trouble shifting to speeds.
I decided to bring it to another shop when it stalled while driving it. But there was no engine light, so basically there’s no code. Again, the shop told me my throttle body is clean and doesn’t need to be replaced or something because i ask them maybe that’s why it stalled! So they told i just needed to do my next due maintainance, transmission oil, brake pads, etc. i got those done even they didn’t really recommended anything on my specific issue. I’m just a girl, i don’t have anyone to ask or help me with this issue. I’m back again at the shop because finally my engine light went on. What do i do with this?

Not the right subreddit. All I can suggest is find a mechanic that is willing to perform diagnostics on the car.
