These should of just stayed mechanical

Jesussss . The way you explain calmly makes me wishes you to be my mechanical lecturer.

Thank you Pete. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week to you and your family.

Bro you the best man, - wish you were in my area. i'd be over with biscuits and a notepad lol

Thanks for sharing this video on electronic throttle body troubleshooting. It's helpful for diagnosing and repairing engine issues. Great work!

Excellent video Pete. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and videos. Artie 🇺🇸😊

Excellent detail explanation. Great video

I love watching you work on 4 cyl engines GOOD JOB BRO!!!

Thank you for sharing. 🤝 Your educational content was helpful. 👍👍

Wow such valuable information. Especially since I just purchased a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. That is the first year of those cares for "drive by wire" I just learned.

Greetings from Hartford Connecticut!! Thanks for putting so many educational videos on youtube!!! Thank you!!! Tell Pete that I love his videos and that this is one of my favorite youtube channels!! Keep up the good work!!!! Be safe!!!!

Great video,thanks

Thank so much, great info.

Fantastic fantastic too too GOOD teacher i would like to learn much more from you Thank you Very much

Great video!!

Thank you for your information

Thank you so much for explaining this in great detail. I recently got the throttle body swapped on my 2020 Versa and I left the dealership and 10 miles away, the car began to shudder. Eventually the engine shut off and their excuse was "it didn't take the programming" I had to come back for the relearning.. The dealership drove it 20 miles instead of the previous 3 miles when I got the car back a second time. So far, it looks like everything is holding up.

Very informative 👏 thanks.

That is an amazingly comprehensive tutorial. Thank you. I have an Alfa Romeo Brera 2.2 Petrol. I’ve lean the TB and it’s now wonderful. Can anyone tell me how to increase idle speed from 8,000 currently to 10,000. How do I do an idle relearn on an Alfa?

Thanks... For the video.. I had a problem with these kinda throttle; it would work when ignition is on and stops when engine is running??!!

Thank you sir I have a learned a lot have a blessed day!

Thanks for the video! Can I get help with the diagnosis of my car? 2010 Toyota matrix with 1.8l. Cleaned the excessively dirty throttle body. Replaced coil packs and plugs. Cleaned mass air sensor. Replaced filter changed crankcase sensor. Initial issue was a backfire under the hood that blew off the vacuum line under the throttle body. Also check engine light sand cylinder 3 and 1 misfire. While changing the plugs and coil packs, I noticed oil in the number 3 cylinder and a small amount in the number four cylinder. I cleaned a cylinders and replaced the valve cover gasket. I'm still having idle too high and it fluctuates just slightly about a plus or minus 50 RPM fluctuation while driving and while idling It was after replacing everything but before cleaning the throttle body that I noticed a new code. P2103. This led me to clean mass sensor and remove and clean throttle body.

My 07 VW City Golf Mar 4 (2.0L) Engine light is on and I scanned and was showing P0068 which is related to MAP/MAF. What I want to do is, first of all, replaced the air filter, then clean up the throttle body, my question is, if I take out the throttle body, is it to be reprogrammed or just as you said in the video, just follow your procedure and let it relearn. Thank you.

MY MAN……. Thank you so much! You helped me figure out that the new motor and trans I put in my 07 trailblazer was as good as I knew it was. I had some things going on that I just could not explain to any of the other techs I worked with, and yes I did try to clean, relearn and had the computer flashed as well… nothing worked, so I found this video and fixed my 2 year old headache. Again thank you so much!

I just bought a 2013 Dodge avenger with a 2.4 l engine and I had to replace the thermostat housing but now the idle is kind of funny so I'm thinking this may be my problem. If I hold the gas pedal down for 2000 rpm's it goes up to 2000 down to 1800 backup to 2000 down 1800. I'm gonna try to clean it 1st but I have a feeling I will have to replace it. Thanks for the video

Hello, I have an Alfa Romeo Giulietta QV 1.8 turbo petrol. My car has developed a problem with the idle hunting after reseting the self learned parameters of the ECU. The car starts perfect, idles good until the temperature start rising and the engine starts calculating the mixture, than the idle becomes erratic...goes up and down and than stabilizes and than again and than stabilizes. Under acceleration the car runs just great with no issues 🤷🏻‍♂️. The car has no check engine light on!!! I have changed coolant temperature sensor, cleaned MAF and MAP sensors, changed spark plugs and coils, going to change the wide band pre-catalyst Lambda but the old one does go in closed loop. The only thing not changed yet is the electronic throttle body. I did try to clean it and was not dirty but I did move it with my fingers. Coul this cause a fault in the throttle body...if yes why it did appear only after the ECU reset 🤷🏻‍♂️ Please give me an idea what coul be the trouble

Hi thank you for the video, should the throttle stay open when the car is turned off ?

Hi guys.... I've got a 2012 Chery J1...i had the same problem but... But I tried a temporary fix which was to use a fuel injector cleaner ...wait until the tank is almost empty... Add a small bottle of Injector cleaner... Approx 150mls.. Add Fuel and drive away. The result was amazing... No more hesitation when acceleration was applied... A more smoother ride.... It's being a few days so far and the car is definitely running a lot better.. What have u got to loose?..

Regarding the relearn section: I have a Skoda Roomster 1.9 TDI. Would i have to do a relearn for every brand of throttle body, or do some not need it?

I have a 2014 town and country. Lightening bolt comes on and van won’t start. I cleaned the throttle body and it was pretty clean TBH. Under 70k miles. How do I test the TB or pedal sensor or do I just throw parts?

Your videos are great!

Amazing video

Thanks for sharing Pete, Great content👍

I have 2010 toyota corolla. similar throttle body top right cornar there is a screw hidden in a glue type material. can you please tell me, what is the function of that. and how it help in adjusting a specific parameter? I have observed that changing the position of that screw make throttal pedal to respond differently and effect the drivability . I have an issue of poor idling. throttle body is cleaned. every possibility has been checked but could not fix the issue.

Fantastic thanks

Wow what a great video Sir I have corolla 09 while driving the car goes off when I try to slow down

My 2004 Acura MDX goes to 3000 RPMs when accelerating from 0 to about 40miles per hour. I need to often take my foot of the gas to let the RPMs go down? What could be the reason? My throttle body has built in mass air flow sensor sensor and idle air control valve if I am not mistaken.

Hi bud, I have the weirdest problem! I went to change the air filter and thought to check and clean the throttle body butterfly. It was fully open which I thought was strange as had no real issues, I mean I have thought the car was a little sluggish on acceleration (delayed) and thought maybe my EGR choking. I always put good quality treatment into fuel and try different types so thought maybe not so... Lately had a little stuttering at the first few lights after leaving the house first thing but not pulling off the drive? My throttle body was fully open with engine off, I sprayed it and wiped but was pretty clean... as you could wish for, I sprayed in with engine running spurts of spray at a time but no movement with butterfly? I had my naibours grandchild come with half decent scan tool tablet a month or two earlier to check car after I gave him a toe and he said that there was no codes, which he thought was suprising. I dont know if he knows fully whats wha but he mentioned my pedal showing depressed 19% ?? he didnt start the car with scan tool plugged in which I asked and said that I thought you could but he said not with his tool. He said he wiped the car for any codes anyhows. Oh I did have a funny few weeks with my battery dying a while back and got that checked but came back fine (just needs a charge so I bought a smart charger and let it do its thing but it kept dying on me and then I put the battery on a full repair charge and its been fine since plus i've kept car in a lower gear to charge up more as my brother said I was driving like a pussy... trying to save miliage 😂 Any idea bud why my butterfly is full open with no real issue on idle or revs going high and once the car warms up all other issues apart from sluggish accelorator dissapear! oh and I disconnected the battery a few times to charge so I assume the sensor would have reset as ive heard on another vid to disconect the negative. I have been worried why my surpentine/alternator belt seems slightly worn on the outside but looks great on the ribbed inside? I thought maybe my issues was the belt tensioner or idle pulley but strange how the black is wearing off on the outside and all looked good with no movement on the tensioner. I did hear the other night late on when it was quiet a little rythmic chirp ever so quiet which i've not heard before which makes me think the idle pulley but cant make head way with the throttle body butterly fully open? Honda civic tourer 1.6 i-dtech diesel

Thank You

Great video, and Duralast is probably great too, but not only that i can't afford it, I would not pay that kind of money for any throttle body! I can almost buy a whole used car for that price! A Duralast throttle body for an 02 Volvo S60 2.4T costs $822.99 at Autozone! Not just an arm and a leg, they want a whole body for that throttle body, lol! What are they smoking?! Crack? I wonder how many units they actually sold and who would buy one at that price? Bosch unit is OEM and it's half the price of Duralast! Now, is Duralast really twice as good? I doubt it, unless it's made by hand mostly out of gold or something. Still can't be twice as good. I like to dream of parts that were "built to last"! :-) Thanks for the quality video, tho...

You are replacing the throttle for the glitches shown on the scope, on the motor circuit?

Great job done.. I have Europe Toyota hilux diesel engine 2017 With trouble code p0122 there is no power input to the throttle motor as l check by Gscan2 live data How I can solve this stalling problem of the engine Thanks bro

Hey, Pete. Watching you excellent video in Florida. In one of your videos, you talked about how the PCM/ECM does its testing: Rationality, Functionality etc. I would like to know how they say that both ,the accelerator pedal and the electronic throttle body can cause the P2135 code on Nissan. I understand that the pcm checks both sensors (APP and TPS) with KOEO, for performance, rationality. My question is, if the APP has some malfunctions and not the ETC, why the engineers don't just set a code for each individually? As far as I know, the APP sends a signal to the pcm and the pcm commands the ETC to open the throttle valve and the TPS sensors send a feed back to the pcm about the speed and opening of the throttle plate. If the APP voltage were too high or too low or not performing well at a certain time, shouldn't the pcm set a code for the APP only, even though a bad APP voltage can cause the pcm to command a higher or lower throttle opening that the TPS sensors will report to the pcm? I think it's bad engineering.

Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery. May I ask what you used to clean under the gasket?

Will this relearn work for an 05 Cadillac CTS?

At 5:11 my mom ride has a check engine light when i used her ride, it's a 2019 chevy cruze and it's has a electrical throttle body her air filter was dirty so replace that and went to check her throttle body but no build up has occurred yet so i still cleaned it but I wanted to see if it was working or not, got my phone out and postion my phone to record the throttle body while I pressed on the Accelerator and once that was done, check the phone and it starting to make noise every time it would open

What does each sensor do that is located in a throttle body for a 2002 Saturn

Hi Mr am having a problem with my throttle body for ford fiesta mk6 st 150 2.0l I cleaned it up and then when I the car it only rav once and then stop raving go back to limp mode I bought another throttle it's still doing the same thing the machanic think it's a ECU

I'v replace the throttle body 3 times on my 2008 chysler 300, cleaned them as well. Someone told me its the throttle body sensor that need to be replaced. I dont know where the sensor is located. I found the part on rockauto. So will you please make a video just about the throttle sensor and how to replace it.

My 2003 Tacoma sr5 stalled on me and gave me a code P2121 - Throttle/ pedal position sensor/ switch D circuit range/ performance. So I bought TPS and it worked for a day. And today it stalled again and gave me code P2138 throttle/ pedal position sensor / switch D /E voltage correlation. Any idea what can it be? Throttle body opens butterfly 1/4 not even half way when I move the accelerator wire that’s connected to throttle body.

I have a p2111, code throttle body stuck open. I replaced the throttle body w/ sensor and still have the same code ? Im not sure if itsthe ecm or pedal position sensor, any ideas ?

👍👍 Awesome

Hi, thank you for your insightful video. I have a 2003 Tacoma prerunner 2,7L Reg cab. The mechanic fixed the check engine light due to the dirty mass air flow sensor he thinks? I drove it for three days and I experienced the same problem when I started the truck. The initial start always came with the rough idle then drive fine after that but the engine light came back on. I replaced the mass air flow but that didn’t solve the check engine light. The truck runs fine and the second days start the engine starts with no rough idle…it only starts with the rough idle when I don’t drive more than two days. Any help would really appreciate it. Could it be the fuel injectors gone bad?

Hello, Pete. If you have a higher voltage in one of the APP sensors as you sweep the throttle( from normal to higher than specs), how could that affect the TPS sensors? Your answer will be highly appreciated.

Hello! Nice video! Can I have some help? I am struggling with my Mercedes w221 s320cdi. The problem happened when I turned off the esp and flored it and it started making weard whistling sounds and it gets in emergency mode or limp mode after been throttled for a couple of seconds in the turbo area. I have driven her to the service and there were no damage from the turbo ways. I was wondering if throttle body could be the problem ?

Ihave a 2001 ford fusion with a 2.5 liter engine. My engine light and wrench light came on and threw a 2119 code. ( engine throddle body actuator) and a emission warning. I sprayed and cleaned the throttle body but didnt do a re programming.

Great video! I took my throttle body off,because my 2013 Charger has the red lighting bolt on dashboard.Something is rattling around in the throttle body.Doesn’t seem normal?

is it possible to use the scan tool if it has PIDs to view the throttle body readings rather than a scope or would you still connect a scope?

Hi, i have an Audi Q5 2.0 Tdi 2010 2 days ago i want to clean the Trottle Bdoy i found it in Open Position ( the Engine was Off) is that Normal ?

thanks

Pete all good for you.

In my Lexus Lx470 2005 , I found that when I press the accelerate fully (full gas) it goes maximum only at 2000 RPM and it doesn’t accelerate beyond that. But when I put to neutral it’s goes beyond 2000 RPM. elerator pedal. (See attached ) Looking for advice and fix.

Love this..... is there a list of all tools I will need before I start so I have them ready and in one place so I'm not surprised ?

Thank you for this video. Can i open the throttle body plate with the key on engine off by pressing the gas pedal?

Great video! What's the tolerance of movement in the default off position? I removed one from a volvo for cleaning (DTC P0507) and when the plate is moved with fingers, it moves freely a teeny tiny bit before you feel the resistance from the motor.

Great video. 2011 Chrysler 200 2.4l. Swapped out throttle body after it went to limp mode. Now I have intermittent throttle body issues. It was a cheap ($100 - $200 cheaper) than anything else. I've thrown some parts and noticed a rubbed wire. Which will be fixed this weekend. Should I get a better throttle body to see if that helps?

is idle re-learn procedure applicable in 1996 ecm design engine

If anybody can help I have a 2012 Tahoe I replaced the throttle body bc I was in limp mode . The rpm’s now run fine but ONLY WITH THE AIR INTAKE OFF , when I replace it idles crazy won’t shift . Did the relearn multiple times

Thanks for making this Video. Im not a mechanic and Im trying to get a little old 2006 Honda Accord to run properly. First issue is it doesn't read the scanner when you connected to the scanner I took it to a couple of autopart stores to used their scanner and it just doesn't work. The issue the car is as you drive the car for about 15 or 20 minutes the car slows down even if I add more speed and press the gas all the way down to to floor it just doesn't get more power. I know I need to get that scanner connector fix before I do anything else to the car but watching this video taught me one of many things that might be the cause of the poor acceleration issue Again Thanks for making this video it was very well made at first when you said that you have to reset the new Throtte I said oooh nooo I need one of those computers to reset it oooooh mannnn but then at the end of the video you showed us how easy it was to reset it. I said I could do that. 🙂👍Thank Very Much.

Hi there Pete I'm currently having this problem with OBD P061C code any input will help

Thanks for the tips how do you clean the electronic throttle body

Hi sir, i have a 2006 lexus rx330 awd, that i will need to replace the Throttle body. I ram across two hoses. One on the right is coolant. The left hose i have not unplug it.. do you know what is that connected too and soni need to bleed those two lines afyer replcaing the tb? Thank ypu sir.

I'm learning ...where do I find model specific instructions on torque pressure and directions etc??

COULD a CAT. converter cause this issue?? THKS

On the diagram you showed the M+ (Black) and M(White) are supposed to be in the center of the connector. So why are your white and black wires in the bottom and not like it's shown in the diagram?

Good day Pete I'm having trouble with my Toyota yaris 2012. The idle drops when A.C. is On and it only idle at 650rpm to 700rpm. I hope you can help me, thanks in advance

I just replaced my throttle body on my Cadillac escalade esv 6.0 and when I turn the key forward the throttle body is just clicking why is this any help I would gladly appreciate

Does the car relearn After several drive cycles

Throttle sensor could be your accelerator padel?

My car rx330 vibrates lightly aroound 650 rpm, my mechanic recomended throttle body cleaning. After the sevice, my car ping very bad, and is very hard to start compare to pre-service. Do you know what might be the cause of the problem?

Check engine light is on (has been for about a year. Been to several mechanics and no one can figure out the cause), and have now experienced Low Engine Power warning several times. Cleaned the throttle body and reset the vehicle as per this vid. Works for a few days then low power warning again. I drive a 2010 Buick Lacrosse, about 170k miles. What could be going on? Is it time to get rid of it or can I get some more life out of it? Great vid, btw.

I have a question? I have a 2006 G35 sedan and so far I changed the catalytic converters,A/T FR/B solenoid,Transmission Temperature sensor, fresh transmission fluid and filter, MAF , APPS, new battery, and new brake pads, plus fresh oil change and filter. My car symptoms are slip & vdc lights are on at the same time as the check engine light, late gear shifts, hesitant to accelerate from complete stop, RPMs are hesitant when pedal is fully depressed (very sluggish rev ups), reduced power, delayed response when stepping on gas pedal. Ive done the idle relearn procedure many times but its not sticking. Im lost , HELP!

Thanks sir I have Chevrolet Cruze his car RPM not working up to 1500 what problem I am using scanner but did not any code seeing in scanner

10-10 vid ima try on my Chrysler see if I can fix anything

Cleaned my TB, and now my idle is jumping 1200-2000 or so but mainly only in neutral, have tried a relearn, and still nothing, 12 civic si, not sure what’s next

2011 fusion continued. I do have a weak battery can that cause the throttle body actuator issue?

My tb on my diesel nazda 3 1.6 stays open when motor is off. Its that normal? Shoud it be closed? No check engine lights apeared.

Hi there My chevy blazer 08, 6 cylinders, giving rough ideleing for the first 30 minutes, and run properly and perfectly after that. After testing it showed P 1516, P 2101 I changed the throttle body 5 times (used ones), but usles. What is that needs to get hot to run the engine properly?

Hope you can help, 2012 silverado 6.0L trying to do a throttle sweep test, but i keep getting engine speed detected while engine is off!

What if idle is really low at stop lights but good after about 30 minutes of driving . my car shakes and sometimes I get bad fuel economy along with horrible takeoff. What is the issue ? Did the relearn the sensors cleaned ,the throttle cleaned and fuel injectors changed . still getting low rpm. G37 sedan 2019

Hi. I've got a 2003 Montero Limited 3.8L. Twice so far (1,000 miles apart) mine has gone into a condition where it will not accelerate. It idles and starts fine, but will not go over 40mph on level road, and takes a long time to get to that speed (severel minutes). It will be fine one moment and then begin this malfunction in the middle of driving it, in town or on interstate. I do have a TPS sensor code (P2135) but also cam and crankshaft sensors codes. The timing system is fine and it doesn't jerk or do anything strange except refuse to accelerate. I can turn it off and after 20 minutes it will operate fine again. Is the the TPS sensor getting hot and then it fails?

Okay I need Help no one has answered this I have changed the tps sensor like 7 times bc when I get into the the throttle my throttle body door closes but my car is also turbocharged

I have a question any experts may want to answer. Could a bad alternator cause this throttle body error to occur, seeing that the vehicle isnt getting sufficient dc power?

I have been struggling to find a good local mechanic. Everyone wants to replace half of the parts in my vehicle to fix it. That approach to me is completely amateur and unprofessional. I can do that, easily, myself. Perhaps you can provide some guidance. I've started to have an intermittent issue with my '06 Nissan Frontier V6 4.0L and it seems to be getting worse, but still intermittent. On two occasions, now, I've had the car start shaking at idle/slow speed/traffic and at that time it would not respond to throttle (limp+shaking? the SES light was blinking). After pulling over, turning the car off, then back on after a minute or so (maybe doing this several times), the issue would go away. Now, what I notice most is drop in RPM at stop signs and car vibrates, sometimes it's really noticeable (this happens intermittently, not at every stop or even every day) but I haven't tracked the exact RPM when that happens, yet. I replaced spark plugs (140k miles on the car), cleaned the TB, cleaned the MAF sensor, changed bank2 camshaft sensor, changed PCV valve, did the throttle relearning procedure few times. The problem isn't going away. The car drives fine once it's up to speed. I have few questions. If the TB fails to respond during idle, would that cause the car to stall/lose RPM to where it idles really low, few hundred RPM)? How many degrees (about) does it open during idle? does it open at all during idle? (there is no separate IAC on this car) My car threw several codes, one cat cell pass side getting deficient reading. Removed the code, the car drove fine for 300~ miles. I doubt that causes my car to all of a sudden loose RPM and fine the next 100 miles. One time after the 2nd bad shaking the car threw a misfire on cyl1, but I doubt that's the problem. I cleared the misfire code and it still vibrates from time to time at stop signs without any misfire codes. Now I'm thinking the throttle body is sticking/not responding (properly or at all) at random during idle. Is this possible? what else could cause such loss of RPM. Can I have intermittent misfire one cyl that would cause such bad shaking and loss of responsiveness from throttle input and not register as misfire? Can a failing MAF sensor do this? Dying ECU? I don't have the advanced tools to test the throttle body or MAF. I've only got multimeter and code reader. Thank you!

We took our 2016 Dodge Journey crossroad to a garage and had it replaced. It was still doing the same thing. The throttle body light came on. The garage replaced it again incase the 1st was defected. After $1000 dollars nothing has changed we are still going through the same problem. What could be going on?

Great video. Where do you get the wiring diagrams from?

Thanks for the video, i have a 1 series 116i benzin 2007 manual bmw, with loss of power and hesitations, when ascending gears, from 1 to 2nd and so, on descending gears, no problem at all, no fault codes at all, changed throttle pedal and sensor, spark plugs, no result. Can you please give me a direction where to.look

Lexus Rx 450hy cruise control not working?

Hi my car won’t start. So I plugged in the diagnostic software for my car and gave me a number of codes which cleared but one didn’t. In the notes section it says that the reason for the fault is that The electronically actuated throttle system has a fault and the ecu is receiving a very low signal. So could that be the reason why my car won’t start?

I've got a ticking in my 3.6. I assumed it was the DI, but one tick was louder. I can actually feel the ticking on the intake right at the throttle body, yet it idles and runs fine, no engine codes. Have others had this problem?
