36 is "air switching silenoid" don't know what that is.

But what you are describing sounds exactly what I have been experiencing
at about the same mileage as you. Clean your AIS motor. It goes in the
back of the throttle body and is held in by two torx scews. Just unplug
it, take the screws out and then get some air intake cleaner and spray
it down real good and wipe it off with a towel. Also spray and clean
the trhottle body with the air intake cleaner and clean in the passages
the AIS uses (you'll know when you take it out). Then put it all back
together of course... I did this and it worked perfectly for about 5k
and yesterday it started have the same symptoms again. So today I put a
new AIS in and everything is working great like it should. But clean
yours first and see if that does anything. I don't think the AIS will
show up as a fault code so your prob could be elsewere, something to
check though...
