Alright guys hoping you can help me here. So every time I start my car I have to let it run for about 10 minutes and let the car heat it up before I drive it. If i do not do this and the car has been sitting for a while and I go to drive it and go above a certain RPM the car will go into reduced engine power mode. I then have to pull over turn off the car wait a few seconds and once I start it up again it is fine. I believe it has something to do with the throttle body. The problem is I have a fuel injection throttle body which i have attached a picture of. Is there anyway to open this piece up so I can get to the flap inside the throttle body? I'm 99% positive the flap is just lose or not positioned correctly and when it's cold the metal piece gets stuck for a second causing the car to go to reduced power mode. Trying to avoiding buying a new one considering how much they cost.

Well, you're in the wrong place man. This sites for gen 5 camaros- 2010- 2015. But, try running some sea foam through the throttle body to clean things up. You can see how to do this on youtube. If that doesn't work try googling about your model year and the electric choke. If it runs fine once warmed up it's bound to be something with the choke.
