20% of time engine “revving” before kicking into the higher gear  
  
 ; engine light on, mechanic says throttle body code and needs to be replaced. really? at 42K miles? Ques - does the body always need to be replaced? can it be cleaned out, etc? any guidance would be appreciated -Thanks~

You definitely need a second, or third, opinion. When a code appears, it does NOT mean: “replace a part”. It means, "Troubleshooting of this circuit is needed. A fault, with this CIRCUIT, has been detected."  
Bring the code here, for more (good) advice.
