Saw in the comments the gentleman had passed making these videos but man is his knowledge living on and he is still teaching people like me who don't know a lot about this kind of stuff. Thank you and rest well my friend.
Just want to say thank you so much for this video. 27 year old mama of 4. My car was having idling problems and when i googled the problem your video popped up and I did it all by myself! Engine light went off and everything!
The good will of this guy that has past on, stays with us. My Dad has always said that love is an energy that never goes away. It just gets transferred. I got your energy AJ thank you.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking the time to explain the function of the various sensors and IAC. I've seen videos with higher production values that don't relay nearly as much info.
All of his videos are so thorough and precise and it helped me so so much. I actually feel slightly sick to my stomach every time I watch one of his videos because I know he's no longer with us. Hope everything is going well in your life
Thank you for your time to share the video and explain how to clean the throttle body. A friend suggested to this from outside. Now I realize, the buildups from the inside are even more.
Yeah I think it is better to take it apart, but just as you said taking it apart does have a risk. However if you take your time and pay attention to where everything goes. You will probably be ok. Thanks for the comment and have a good day.
+AJ “Figgy” Pierce yeah I just got done doing it about an hour ago it went well and was dirty as hell inside I would never have gotten all the gunk out without taking it a part. Thanks for this video I wouldn't have had the confidence to do it without this video.
MonkeyMan same hear buddy I just bought a 2006 caravan sxt from an elderly couple with only 80,000 kms. I took the throttle body of and wow was it bad.spent an hour or so cleaned her up nice video buddy!
I have had Caravans over the years and my current 2001 has 191K miles. I have never had throttle body problems that affect performance! Doesn't mean it cannot happen!
Great video and doesn't sound like another language. After reading some comments I just wanted to give my condolences to the family. Gonna try this and hopefully get to have ac for my kiddos the rest of this summer. God bless.
Hey good luck to you on doing your 01 town and country, I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
Awesome video bro helped me out a lot didn't know you could clean that silonid with the T-20 screw in it. Good thing I saw this cause mine was just as bad!!!! Dodge Ram 1500.
Thanks, I just did this after watching another video but after seeing you clean the solenoid with the t20 screws will do it again , but right this time thanks to you
Great video. dealership cleaned throttle body on my van with BG system. It was very clean on outside, but inside and Idle Control Valve were dirty full of carbon and gunk.
Sounds like they just probably sprayed the outside and gave it a quick wipe down and called it good. Well thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
You do not have to remove Air filter box. You can disconnect it from throttle body, move top filter cover portion without disconnecting air flow sensor out of the way and get decent access to throttle body.
thanks bro, Im going to do to my van, tomorrow, , I have P0134 MAF/ 02 prec-cat since this job is easy I will do it, then I have to find the Maf sensor normally is inside the air intake..
Good video and use of non- traditional cleaner, and tools on hand. With the use of the correct throttle body cleaner, wire brushes and old tooth brushes and some rags this job would have been more easier and effective.
great video I tried cleaning my 2006 caravan throttle body body today by putting cleaner on a rag and pushing around, but after watching this I will be removing it in the morning and doing it properly, thanks for the great up-load!! and did you van run better after this?
+crazystang69 s Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Yeah I think I had a little bit better idle speed than before, but not really a huge difference. However it is still a good maintenance thing to do and sometimes you notice a difference and sometimes you might not. I have seen plenty of vehicles with dirty throttle bodies and dirty idle air control ports that would not start and stay running at idle because they were clogged up with dirty crap. Well anyway have a good day.
nice video my 2007 has 106,000 Kms now gonna seafoam it today and clean the tb aswell like you did, mines runs as new still but what the hell no harm being done lol did you notice a difference in driving after doing this..
just finished doing my 06 caravan I just bought it a few days ago one owner dealer serviced since new 160,000 kms , it wasn't too bad in there.... I had an 05 before this van and it has lots of power, this one is a big slug... I did new plugs wires, seafoam treatment nothing has helped...
gotta just know that you cant move that throttleplate if it is computer actuated. it xan ruine the mechanism. the one yuo got is mech actuated . nice cleaning job
Yeah you could probably clean it quite a bit with it still bolted on, but not as good as you could unbolting it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Have a good day.
Great video, I saw you disconnected the battery. Did you have to reset any codes. The dealership wants 280.00 to do this lol. I can buy a brand new throttle body for 80.00
I replaced my egr valve because i had a po 406 code. Will a dirty throttle body cause the egr to cause a code.? I bought a new egr and i still have the same code
Could you please tell me what the torque specification is for the screw (T20 torx bit) that secures the Idle Air Control valve? Thank you for your time!!!
i have a 2003 caravan and it idling really rough..the engine shakes alot feels like it gonna stall..can this be that the tps needs to be replace or should i clean the whole throttle system..pls help..
Is your engine light on? You can try to do an ignition switch trick to see if you have any DTC codes, which might help you in the right direction of your fault. Here is a video on how to look for stored trouble codes and I demonstrate this procedure on my 2003 Dodge Caravan so this trick should work for your as well. Here is the link. ruclips.net/video/sFmBn_P2UHw/видео.html Try this trick out to see if it gives you any help in pointing you in the right direction. Who knows you may have a stored code that tells you exactly what is wrong. The trouble is there could be a lot of things causing a rough idle issue. Some of the most common things that can cause a rough idle is a cylinder misfire (which could be caused from issues with fuel, compression, or ignition) Also you could have fuel, compression and ignition, but if your air to fuel ratio is off, that can cause a cylinder to run to rich or to lean and that can cause a cylinder to misfire. I would suggest getting an inexpensive obd2 scan tool, I am not suggesting one of the several thousand dollar ones that pros use, but perhaps a 15-20 dollar scan tool that will read obd2 codes and be able to read live sensor data. These are very handy to have, and should work on most cars that are 1996 and newer, it will read live data on several sensors, and give fuel trim data and other info. Here is a link to the very first cheap scan tool I bought online for around 20$ and mine still works great for reading codes, and getting live data on sensors, and it is very user friendly. ruclips.net/video/jOc0_VuGaQM/видео.html Having something like this allows you to look at engine data to help determine what is wrong with your vehicle. Well try the ignition trick and see if you have any codes stored. Also a simple thing to try to do to find a non contributing cylinder is a by doing a cylinder drop test. Which involves using a test light or wire to manually ground out the ignition coil. This is done while listening for rpm drops. Basically if you do this test and there is no rpm drop heard, that is the cylinder that is not contributing, and your problem is in that particular cylinder. Here is an excellent video that demonstrates this technique very well. ruclips.net/video/5ewJIBS9L98/видео.html Now I dont know if this is your problem or not, cause as I said it could be a lot of things, but if you have a misfire this is a good simple way to find it. (If you do this I suggest using rubber gloves because this test can give you a pretty good shock if your finger is closer than the test light, the shock is similar to a very bad static electricity shock, and it does it hurt if it gets you.) If you do find a misfire, you can try swapping spark plug wires or spark plugs with another cylinder and see if the misfire changes to the other cylinder. I hope that makes sense. Also I have a video series on how I replaced the plugs and wires on my dodge caravan you can check that out here. ruclips.net/video/DLJUZQ7tIvY/видео.html at about a minute in I start taking the plug wires off the ignition coil. The 3 in the front go to the front 3 cylinders and the 3 in the back go to the back 3 cylinders. You could use the same technique to find a dead cylinder, just like scanner danner showed in the above video.. Well I hope some of this info helps you out, and helps you figure out your problems. Let me know what you find. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching. Have a good day.
Hi Pierce, so I have an 05 dodge caravan 3.8l and the alternator went, my friend have a 06 with a 3.3l both v6 he is giving me his alternator, will it work. Thanks
I am not 100% sure but I believe it should fit. The reason I say it will is if you go online to an autoparts store. I opened up two tabs in my browser, and searched on autozone.com in each tab. In one tab I searched the 05 dodge caravan (the 3.8l was listed under grand caravan) and I looked up the alternator for this vehicle. In the other tab I searched for the 06 3.3l alternator (was not sure which 3.3l, more than one 3.3l, you need to know 8th vin number that is the engine code) Anyway, I did an alternator search for both vehicles, and the alternator part numbers all matched for both years. So I believe they should swap out, but you may want to double check to be sure. Well thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
my 2007 dodge grand caravan van started jerking on the fwy as soon as we to hit the gas got up to 50mph and it started jerking it wouldn't let me go over 50mph I had no choice but to get off the fwy and take the back streets home and the check engine light came on do you think this could be a problem if so please let me kno.... ThankYou
Yeah could be a problem if your check engine light came on, it could be a lot of things causing this. Try this trick to see if you can find a stored code, if you have a code let me know what it is. check this link for how to get codes ruclips.net/video/sFmBn_P2UHw/видео.html I showed how to do this trick on my 2003 dodge caravan and it works for that year but I am not sure if this trick works for a 2007 or not but you can try it and let me know if you have a code stored. Perhaps that can tell you more as to what is wrong. Otherwise I would suggest taking your vehicle to a local auto part store and ask them to scan it for you to see why your engine light is on (this is usually free to have them do it), or take it to a mechanic and have it looked at. Now driving your car around with an engine light on could be a very bad thing to do, because you could be damaging your car, it just depends on what is wrong with it. Hopefully that trick will tell you what code the engine set, but if not I would suggest having it looked at as soon as possible, and suggest not driving it until you know for sure why that engine light came on, but there is a reason the check engine light came on and you need to know what that reason is. Well I hope this info helps you out, and good luck to you. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
hello..i tried that link you have sent me..the code that is showing up is p1684..what is that? i have clean my throttle body and intake valve just like in your video..and yup that code came up..
P1684 I believe just means that your battery was disconnected with in the last 50 start cycles, at least that is what the code said it was from this website www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/dodge/ So was that the only code that came up when you did that ignition switch trick. If so you may try that cylinder drop test and see if all cylinders are contributing or perhaps one of your cylinders is misfiring and causing a rough idle. About the next step would be to hook up a scan tool and look at live data. I would probably take a hard look at fuel trims, o2 sensors and see what is going on with those. Or if you dont want to spend a lot of money buying tools. You may just try replacing the spark plugs and spark plug wires on it and see if that fixes your rough idle. Of course I dont like to just throw parts at a vehicle with out checking things out first, but if you dont own the tools to check those things out, you may just try swapping those parts out as a maintenance. I dont know how many miles are on your vehicle or when you last had those spark plugs and plug wires changed out, but I believe the maintenance interval says to replace spark plugs and spark plug wires every 100,000 miles. Well if you replace your own parts I suggest you check out rockauto.com they have hard to beat prices for automotive parts. Well I hope you figure out your issues. Have a good day.
quick question if u replace both throtle position censor and trhotle idle air motor wat will happen? i mean is the computer going to mess up or stay like normal?will the check engine light come on? tia
Most of the time unplugging the tps sensor or IAC will result is a dtc code and turn the check engine light on. You would need to use a scan tool to clear the codes after fixing sensor or plugging the sensor back in, or the codes can reset on their own after so many drive cycles. If the computer thinks there is a fault in the tps or iac depending on the computer programming it might run in another mode using other sensors to help determine the best way to run without the tps or iac. It just depends on the computer programming. Many computers have back up programming to run the vehicle when certain sensors go bad, or set a code. I hope this info helps you out, and what I explained makes sense. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
AJ Pierce ok so my dodge neon throttle body has a stickee sayys do not clean the inside of the throttle body and sum like that ..what should i do? should i or shouldnt clean my throttle body? cuz i think the reason why my car vibrate is bcuz the throttle body itself nd the ac sensor is dirty
Saw in the comments the gentleman had passed making these videos but man is his knowledge living on and he is still teaching people like me who don't know a lot about this kind of stuff. Thank you and rest well my friend.
Thank you so much. My husband really enjoyed making these videos, and he would be so happy to know they still help people.

My husband passed away three years ago, and I check in every once in awhile. Thanks.
Excellent video! Very informative. I just wish I could have heard the engines new idle after you were completed.
My moms van is stalling and idling at stops this video was exactly the info I needed thank you sir!
Thank you for great video. Just did mine and idling improved 80%.
Thank you for watching!!
the video would be completed if you showed us how it ran before and how it ran after before and after
He probably would have but he passed away a few years ago. Thanks for watching.

This car is 2 years older than mine, but they look the same. Thank you so much. I am going to use your video.
Best video!!!! I was wondering and fearful taking that body off. Now I know there’s nothing to fear. Gonna take mine apart this weekend.
Thanks for watching!
great video. gonna watch this again and do tomorrow. thanks
Hope it helps. Thanks for watching!!
thanks for this video, it was very helpful to do my cleaning job

Thanks, I just did this after watching another video but after seeing you clean the solenoid with the t20 screws will do it again , but right this time thanks to you
thank you, a before and after of it running would be great, but either way definately worth watching
This was truly helpful
Thanks for help..I save money..thanks buddy
Glad it helped!! Thanks for watching!!
Very good teacher!
Excellent break down and explanation. Thanks buddy.
Very helpful, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Great video. dealership cleaned throttle body on my van with BG system. It was very clean on outside, but inside and Idle Control Valve were dirty full of carbon and gunk.
Sounds like they just probably sprayed the outside and gave it a quick wipe down and called it good. Well thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
You do not have to remove Air filter box. You can disconnect it from throttle body, move top filter cover portion without disconnecting air flow sensor out of the way and get decent access to throttle body.
Yep there are a lot of ways to get things done. Thanks for the comment and have a good day.
thank you so much!! i will try that..this video is very helpfull..i had tried everything to find out what wrong with my van..
You are very welcome, and good luck to you. Have a good day.
thanks bro, Im going to do to my van, tomorrow, , I have P0134 MAF/ 02 prec-cat since this job is easy I will do it, then I have to find the Maf sensor normally is inside the air intake..
thank you for this !
Thank you for watching.
Good video and use of non- traditional cleaner, and tools on hand. With the use of the correct throttle body cleaner, wire brushes and old tooth brushes and some rags this job would have been more easier and effective.
did the cleaning fix the rough idle
You d man excellent thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you. Very Helpful.
спасибо! хорошее, понятное видео !!! 👍👍👍
great video I tried cleaning my 2006 caravan throttle body body today by putting cleaner on a rag and pushing around, but after watching this I will be removing it in the morning and doing it properly, thanks for the great up-load!! and did you van run better after this?

GREAT HOW DO YOU PUT THE THROTTLE CABLES BACK ON
Nice
could this cause a vehicle not to start/ turn over?
gotta just know that you cant move that throttleplate if it is computer actuated. it xan ruine the mechanism. the one yuo got is mech actuated
. nice cleaning job
nice job
Thanks I appreciate it. Have a good day.
Can you still somewhat effectively clean the throttle body without unbolting it. I don't want to screw up and forget to reassemble something?
Yeah you could probably clean it quite a bit with it still bolted on, but not as good as you could unbolting it. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching. Have a good day.
Great video, I saw you disconnected the battery. Did you have to reset any codes. The dealership wants 280.00 to do this lol. I can buy a brand new throttle body for 80.00
muito bom !!
Thanks!

Did.it help your rough idle?
I replaced my egr valve because i had a po 406 code. Will a dirty throttle body cause the egr to cause a code.? I bought a new egr and i still have the same code
Hey friend, can I use H W40?
Did this fix the rough idle issue?
Could you please tell me what the torque specification is for the screw (T20 torx bit) that secures the Idle Air Control valve? Thank you for your time!!!

Bad throttle position sensor $10.00 on Eba.
Have the fuel pump checked. It may not be delivering enough fuel pressure.
Good luck.
hello..i tried that link you have sent me..the code that is showing up is p1684..what is that? i have clean my throttle body and intake valve just like in your video..and yup that code came up..

Well if you replace your own parts I suggest you check out rockauto.com they have hard to beat prices for automotive parts. Well I hope you figure out your issues. Have a good day.
quick question if u replace both throtle position censor and trhotle idle air motor wat will happen? i mean is the computer going to mess up or stay like normal?will the check engine light come on? tia
Most of the time unplugging the tps sensor or IAC will result is a dtc code and turn the check engine light on. You would need to use a scan tool to clear the codes after fixing sensor or plugging the sensor back in, or the codes can reset on their own after so many drive cycles. If the computer thinks there is a fault in the tps or iac depending on the computer programming it might run in another mode using other sensors to help determine the best way to run without the tps or iac. It just depends on the computer programming. Many computers have back up programming to run the vehicle when certain sensors go bad, or set a code. I hope this info helps you out, and what I explained makes sense. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Have a good day.
AJ Pierce ok so my dodge neon throttle body has a stickee sayys do not clean the inside of the throttle body and sum like that ..what should i do? should i or shouldnt clean my throttle body? cuz i think the reason why my car vibrate is bcuz the throttle body itself nd the ac sensor is dirty

Your air intake temperature sensor is located in front of the radiator dude all the way at the bottom that is a map sensor Jesus Christ man
It's the mass airflow sensor!
