I maintain my son's 2013 Malibu with a 2.5L NA engine. This video gives me confidence that I can remove and reinstall the throttle body even though I'm an inexperienced DIY'er. The Amazon links are very helpful. Thank you for your clear instructions in this and all your other videos!

Top shelf video. There aren't a lot of moving around, shaky, and dark video shots. We could definitely learn cars and production from watching your content.

Can you a video on cleaning a throttle body of Chevy Malibu 2014 step by step please
@backyardchevy3282 жыл бұрын
It would be the same process as long as its the same engine the 2.0t
@jessedjmix Жыл бұрын
The steps to calibrate it are: turn it on for 3 minutes, turn it off for 1 minute, turn it back on for 3 minutes, turn it off for 1 minute and that's it. it is right?

Hey, I took mine off but it wouldn't close all the way after cleaning it, did I not clean it right and do you need to calibrate it when you put back on? Thanks and nice video.

Did u clean it on the car or off the car? Was the electrical still connected if on the car? I believe i mentioned the calibration steps but theyre just a few turn on and idle for a few then turn off steps

I removed the throttle body snd cleaned it good. Replaced the gasket and put everything back. Now it won’t recalibrate (I’ve tried EVERYTHING) and now I have a lean code p0171 . I’m so frustrated

The intake tube clicked back on properly and locked in place? If it has a vacuum leak anywhere between the maf sensor and the throttle body it could cause all that

@@backyardchevy328 yes , everything replaced and secured. I was thinking it could be the gasket I replaced but I just don’t see how I could mess that up. It only goes in one way then bolted the TB back on over it. I removed it and checked even tried putting the old one back in. No dice. Had no codes before. Thought I was doing a good thing by doing some maintenance on the TB and now here I am 🤡

I change the mass air flow sensor after check engine light. Car was jerking some when taking off at lights, hesitation & just notice once changed it all was good. 48 hrs & then it through another engine light. P1101 .. AutoZone..recomend tal deice air intake ... Our filter was extremely dirty. Didn't find any leaks or. Blockage. Car is running fine. I changed air filter... But light still on ... Is there a way to reset? Can a really bad airfilter do this?? We homeless. Are car is our home. & no family so this really hitting us with money we've manage to save from doordashing.

To reset it..disconnect the negative terminal for 15-20 mins..p1101 could be many things yes from an air blockage but filter would have to be really really dirty..have u tried cleaning the maf sensor? If thats dirty it would also trigger that code..youve looked for air leaks so thats good u didnt find any..i would try cleaning the maf sensor..i got a video on that as well
