Dirty throttle? I would buy a can of throttle body cleaner and apply it directly to the throttle body.
That's exactly what the mechanic did, hopefully next time around if there is a similar problem I'll be able to fix it myself!

I would also start testing a homemade underbody aero kit now, before the road trip.
I wish I could, unfortunately I live in a city apartment I have no way of doing any work underneath the car. What I might do instead is adding a small airdam to my front bumper after I'm done with the grill block.

It'd be useful if there were Cd figures available for the car with & without it of course...
that's exactly why I was asking, I couldn't find any useful information on it and I was hoping someone here might be able to help, but I guess I'll have to keep digging

On that note, glad to hear the first thing you did was order some instrumentation.
To improve something you have to know when you're doing it wrong, no better way to know that than actually seeing some data!

Thanks for the feeback!
