Default throttle body needs replacing

Hi! I have a question. I have a 2000 odessey which had a timing belt service, etc - big service - nothing was wrong with the car, just routine maintenance. Within about a week of leaving the shop I had surging at lights/stop signs - and within a day the check engine light came on. Honda says I need a throttle body. It's expensive - $850.00. Is there a correlation to the EGC system or timing belt service, ??? I really don't know cars - don't laugh.

This is the second time this year I have taken my car - working fine - for routine maintenance and have left with the engine light on. In January they said something was clogged - (not due to them) - but since I drove it in without the engine light on - and it immediately had it on exiting the shop they fixed it for free. It may be coincidence - but it's a little odd.

Any thoughts from someone mechanically minded? What's a throttle body??

Thanks!
