I bought a 2023 q50 luxe with 16k miles on it, and for the first few weeks it was a total blast, and now on the last 3 drives to work I’ve had the throttle dead spot issue below 3k rpm. Turning the car off and back on again fixes the issue. I’ve torn the forums, Reddit, and internet apart trying to figure it out and it seems that there are several possible culprits and solutions, ranging from a larger heat exchanger, TPS sensor replacement, throttle body replacement, MAF replacement, VVT sensor replacement, throttle controller installation, etc. but there doesn’t seem to be any consensus. I’ve also read there could be a voltage drop between the throttle and throttle body sensors. Does anyone have any other insight on fixing this? I’d rather not spend months chasing a ghost through this car to figure it out
