Now the problem is even I managed to turn on teh engine, the car go very fast by itself and the "ASR" light is on by itself. The even worse thing is when I shifted to "N" or "P" position, the engine is "shaking" (very unstable!!) strangely. Anyway now the dealer first told me the oil filter is very dirty (what the fuxk, I paid them to maintain it every 3 months!!)... ok, I approved them to change it and the battery, and they said now they found out that it is the "Butterfly-flip (?)" casuing the problem and it cost at least 2,000 to get a new one...[V][V]
[?]Can anyone tell me whether this is true or is there any other alternative way to save some $$$??

I found two TSB (Technical Service Bulletins)which relate to your problem:
AF07.87.U6700AV - General complaints on engine operation, e.g. shaking, missing during acceleration, dying while idling. The cause is defective hot firm mass air flow sensor - part number (Mass Air Flow Sensor) 0000940948 cost $462.00, looks easy to me to get to and replace.
AF30.20.U.9900AG - Engine surges and/or runs irregularly at idle speed (occasionally), throttle value actuator is nosiy. Note throttle valve actuator with production date from 663XX to 769XX are affected.
Part number (Throttle Body) 1111410025, cost $523.35, it is a do it yourself project.
I would go to another dealer to make sure what exactly is the problem.
