    Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I cleaned the throttle body of my wife's NIssan Note. It gave me a hell of problems, engine riving at idle. I followed the procedure on the service manual but couldn't solve the problem. I sent the car to Nissan dealership, they could NOT fix it with their ScanTool as well, but told me either the ECM or ETB(Electronic Throttle Body) is defect. I drove home because letting them change the ECM or the ETB will cost me a fortune. I ordered an ETB whose manufacture has a good reputation. With the help of a Scan Tool I bought, and your trick " brake and Gear" in position, it finally worked.

    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.

      @MrFakherabbas 8 месяцев назад +1

      It’s Throttle Position Sensor ( TPS) and is attached to either left or right side of the Electrical Throttle Body . One side of the Throttle Body is power connector and the other side is attached to it is Throttle Position Sensor ( TPS) that reads and sends information to the car computer the position of the Butterfly ( Blade ) when we press the pedal . The car computer (ECM) accordingly adjust the fuel spray in the fuel injectors .

    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.

      @jeffgadget5350 3 месяца назад

      If you are pushing on the throttle blade you probably have removed the intake air duct, which usually contains the intake air temperature sensor, and/or the mass airflow sensor. You can't expect the fuel injection to work properly without the IAT or MAF sensor(s) in the intake air flow.

    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?

    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

Cleaned everything out & eventually the code cleared. After moving it around all summer, today I decided to sell it… it started to crank & then nothing. The code is back!

    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?

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?..

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...

      Autozone offers several other aftermarket throttle bodies; but those only have 1 year warranties. I'll stick with the Duralast if I need one (I'm researching possible problems and possible fixes before I start to take things apart). But cleaning the throttle body makes sense as it has over 300,000 miles on it.

    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.

    • @MotorAgeMagazine
      @MotorAgeMagazine  4 года назад

      According to the service information for a Nissan Altima, this is a rationality code that compares the output signal of the two TPS sensors. They should agree. The fault will either be in the wiring, or (more likely) in the sensor itself. Of course, always check for any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply. The function of the APP sensor shouldn't be related to this code.

      @MotorAgeMagazine Check Engine light has been on for over a year. I've had several mechanics look at it. The car is returned to me with the light off, then it comes back on a few days or weeks later. That's why I've taken it to different mechanics, but end up with the same result. Honestly, I think they're just disconnecting and reconnecting the battery so that the light goes off. I don't know the code numbers. Car is immobilized right now (due to low engine power).

      The codes you're referencing are correlation codes - the ECM thinks the throttle plate isn't where it should be based on the feedback from the TPS sensors, which are a part of the throttle body assembly. Are you making sure the replacements are good and clean before installing? Have you tried to clear the ECM memory by disconnecting the battery and letting it sit for 30 minutes or so?

      So let me understand this - are you saying that when you step on the pedal, the throttle plate moves in the opposite direction - closing instead of opening? Or do you mean that you're experiencing low power? On a turbocharged engine, it is critical that the air tract from the turbo to the intake is completely sealed - and leaks will lower boost pressure and power.

      This code is set with the calculated engine rpm is no in line with the desired (programmed) rpm for a specified time. On your Ford, it can be caused by a problem with the Crankshaft Position Sensor signal to the PCM, or the Camshaft Position Sensor signals (two, I believe) to the PCM, or a problem with the PCM itself. But before you replace the PCM, make sure that the signals are strong, it has good power and grounds, and the connector pins are not damaged or corroded.
      I would use a scope at the PCM connector to monitor the CKP and CMP signals, looking for any fallouts or inconsistencies. If that's ok, I'd check power and grounds to the PCM next. Good luck!

    My throttle body was turning on and off yesterday, everything time I turned off and restarted my car it reset and started working again for awhile, today it hasn't had any issues and I've been driving for hours. Should I still replace it?

      No - it may be circuit or ECM related. Diagnose before you replace anything. TEST, don't GUESS. 🙂

    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?

    2005 gmc sierra 1500. I cleaned my TB, but my idle hot, sits at 500rpm. It drops to 300 sometimes. It dips below 500 as soon as fans go off or I turn the wheel. Help me !!!

      Try this GM idle relearn:
      1. Start and run the engine in PARK for 3 minutes.
      2. Turn the engine OFF for a minimum of 60 seconds.
      3. Start the engine and run for another 3 minutes.
      4. Engine should idle normally after 3 minutes.
      After having performed the relearn procedure and the engine still does not run within normal idle speed, it will be necessary to drive the vehicle above 45 mph (70 Km/h) including several decelerations. Also ensure that after driving the vehicle, let the engine idle for a minimum of 5 minutes.
      If the engine has returned to normal idle speed, the relearn procedure is completed. If the idle speed is still erratic or incorrect, restart idle relearn procedure.

    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!

      Sorry for the late reply. The one observation you made that really stands out is the SES light flashing. That means the ECM is detecting a serious misfire and it will shut down the fuel to those cylinders to protect the catalytic converters. That is the first thing to ID and troubleshoot. Have you had any misfire codes other than the P0301?
      Since the problem occurs intermittently and the engine has some miles on it, I would start with the basics. Is the engine mechanically sound? That can be tough to answer nowadays - many engines can suffer from intermittent valve sealing issues that a conventional compression test won't catch. You need a scope to view the ignition pattern or, better still, a scope mated to a pressure transducer to view the changes in cylinder pressure while the engine is running. I have videos on all of these techniques - just check our channel page.
      As for finding a good technician, you might try searching for one here: iatn.net/repair. This is a network of technicians that at least know enough to seek out the advice and opinions of others. Ask the shop who is the iATN member and then talk to them - ask if they have a scope and know how to do in-cylinder pressure testing or how to read a secondary ignition pattern.
      Hope this helps!

      I got P0420 first. Then after the first SES flashing/shaking/stall, the P0420 code again (no misfire codes). Then after 2nd shaking/limp mode incident I received P0301 misfire on cyl 1. No other codes, no P0420 this time. The car sounds like it did when I didn't have this issue. The only ongoing problem that I know of right now is low idle RPM. Sometimes it's idles fine at about 650-700rpm and at others it drops to below 600. I'm replacing the MAF sensor and 2nd camshaft sensor in few days. I already replaced one of the two camshaft pos sensors. My concern is why low idle, that wasn't happening before. It now will drop RPM to below 650 at stops and the car vibrates some. I'm thinking this low idle RPM issue is related to my SES blinking incidents. Could a failing oxygen sensors throw off ECM to where it malfunctions in such a way that would cause serious misfire or what sensors could do this? If I'm experiencing a serious misfire when the car is about to stall and goes into limp mode, why is it not throwing any codes? it only threw the P0301 after the 2nd time it happened, not the first. I found few IATN registered shops in my area. Will go and talk to them. Most shops here are mostly mechanics, they have no clue about the scope and how to use it.

      Using this mode on your scan tool should provide you with a clearer picture of what cylinders are messing up. Remember - start with the basics before you start swapping parts.

    I hope you can help me, thanks in advance

    • @MotorAgeMagazine

      If the idle drops, it may indicate that the a/c compressor is harder to turn than it should be. Try removing the a/c drive belt and see what happens when you turn the a/c on. The A/C clutch should still engage and the ECM should still make the idle correction for the extra load on the engine - so if your idle increases I would check the a/c drive and compressor for worn bearings.

    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 can find many references to problems with the 2002-2010 Ford models that were not equipped with a brake override. Could be a problem in the throttle body and/or accelerator position sensor circuits or the throttle body itself. I would take it to a qualified Ford tech and have the cause diagnosed before driving it further.

      @@MotorAgeMagazine Thank you for responding. I have had two mechanics check out the car (one of which is at a local Ford dealership. No one has been able to detect the problem. The car is showing no trouble codes. However I’m not sure if the mechanics checked out the actual throttle body itself. Hopefully I can get this figured out as I don’t feel safe driving the car.
