Just got done replacing mine. 53 yr old female, money is tight. Thank you so much, took me about 3 hrs, with some breaks, 93 degrees out and I have spinal chord damage. Couldn't have done it without you..you rock
Glad I could save you some money. That’s the driving force behind my videoed I am technically handicapped. I ruptured two discs in my back about 20 years ago and had back surgery so I could walk again. No feeling in my right leg and I can’t lift more than 20 pounds. I’ve learned to modified ways of doing things like lifting up the tire with my feet in order to mount it back on the car. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. 👍
@@OmarsGarage sounds like me, had a tumor removed inside my spinal chord, went in not walking came out walking. But I was determined and thanks to your video I did it
My new 2014 jeep patriot didn’t give me ANY issues until last week when it went on limp mode with 120k miles. Love jeeps! Everything points towards throttle body. I’m going to change that and see if it works. Thanks Omar!! Many years later and your still helping ppl!
That’s great, glad I could help. My daughters help me out on my cars all the time. It’s never to early to start learning how to work on your own cars. 👍
Omar, Thank you, thank you thank you. You're video was spot on, all the symptoms on my wife's 2014 Jeep. I watched it numerous times, I practiced each step in my mind. Today, I did as you directed and successfully replaced the Throttle Body unit. Her vehicle has much better pickup. The hardest part was the bottom hose clamp. Did it myself and saved $ 325.00, Thank you again!
That’s awesome…this video alone has helped so many folks out for years now. Glad I could save so many people so much money. Thanks for leaving a comment. Made my day.
Omar you champion... thanks all the way from Australia just did this to my Jeep Patriot 2014 after the same issues and it only cost me $80.. Jeep dealership wanted $750 for the throttle body parts only!!! You saved me and my young family a lot of heartache thanks so much again
Luke Smith I’m currently having issues with the same model car with ETC lights on and all. What was the part that you replaced exactly and what Was your original issue? Was it that ETC and the car not accelerating properly?
Here’s a video with the symptoms I was having. Pretty much the car goes into limp mode and doesn’t accelerate past around 25 mph. ruclips.net/video/bfgw-UeSP34/видео.html
Owen McGovern hey mate yeah it was this exact issue the car wouldn’t accelerate but was on we turned it on and off sometimes I would help but eventually it was just reving and not moving. If you pm me I’ll send you the eBay link I used. It’s an easy fix just follow Omar’s video. Our car has been running perfectly ever since
Wow! Great video. My daughters 2007 patriot is doing exactly that! We’ve had it in two shops and they said to take it to a dealership. You just saved us a bunch of$$$$$! Her car has been a money pit from day one! Never buying a Jeep again! Thanks for the great video.
I saw your other video where you had the dealership diagnose it. I wasn't getting any codes for mine and the lightning bolt light on the dash would only appear intermittently. I tried resetting the computer first, and that seemed to help but not completely solve the issue. I used this video to pull the throttle body and clean it. Fingers crossed it solves the problem. Went to NAPA and they told me the part was $230+. If cleaning it doesn't solve the problem, I'll order it online and save more than half the money. Thanks again!
Let us know if the cleaning works. I think the part I used was about $60 and it’s been a couple years now since I changed it. No issues since then. Good luck.
Thank you so much Omar. My 2013 Patriot had the exact same symptons. I ordered a new throttle body on Amazon. It arrived, and it took me less than an hour to put the new one in. Only because I watched this video. Except that I didn't even remove the battery. I was able to just remove the hose to the throttle body, and I had enough room to get to it. With the right extensions and everything. Thank you so much for the video.
Clay Gillman that’s great. It’s a tight fit but it’s good to know you can do it without removing the battery. For the video I definitely needed to remove it. Glad it helped.
I thought I had posted to this video but I can't seem to find my post. If this is a repeat, I apologize but I'm going to post a comment again for the sole reason of saving a headache for others who may be experiencing what I went through. I had the exact same issue on my 2013 Patriot. The vehicle left me in tough spot but I was able to limp it home. Bought the part on Amazon for $59 and less than an hour later, my Jeep was running top notch. Wasn't even that hard of a replacement. Thank you Omar! You saved me hundreds of dollars!
Thank you so much buddy! I was on the freeway last week and boom my Jeep went down! I was on the freeway with the emergency lights on, seeing your video! Thank you so so much man. You saved me a lot of money and I bought the part for $84.
Thank you, thank you!!! Saved me a lot of money. I have very limited mechanical knowledge but I still got it done in an hour and a half. Some of it was an absolute pain, but I got it done.
Omar Thankyou very much for making this video I was having the same issues with my Jeep and it turned out to be the EXACTLY what was going on with your mother in laws. Didn’t want to be charged 500 bucks so got the part for $80, watched your video as I was replacing the part and a couple hours later my Jeep is running GREAT. Thanks again man
Hey Omar how’s it going man so since I replaced my throttle body my car has been running great the only thing that is different now is that my automatic car starter hasn’t worked since I replaced it and the check engine light is on could you give me your opinion on what u think may be wrong with if
Kenan Jones it would be difficult to say. The first thing I would recommend is to scan the computer for codes and reset the codes if there are any. You can sometimes do this by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes. If you don’t have an OBDII scanner, some auto part stores will scan your vehicle for free. If you have that code then you can look up what else may be wrong with it. It may just need to be reset though.
I have a 2011 jeep patriot and it has only 90,000 miles on it. I replaced the battery but nope... Then I found this here!! Will have hubby put this in and pray that it works :) thank you so much. thank goodness I have another vehicle. This is scary as my patriot just shut off and I was able to get it on a side road here..
I have a 2011 jeep patriot and my etc light and traction control lights came on and put me in limp mode (just like everyone else story's) . I changed the throttle body today and Bam!!! She runs better than ever before. So happy saved us a bunch of money. Thanks for the video brother
Did you need to go through any type of relearn process with the new throttle body or get it programmed or did you just install it and everything was good
The perfect fix for the limp jeep. Ordered the part, put it in and drove the car. It did not need programming and the check engine light went after a few drives.
Omar's Garage I received the new parts today, using your link in the description, swapped them out and went for a 45 minute drive. So far the problem has not resurfaced! Thanks for the video and Thank you for being willing to help!
I replaced the throttle body on my 2016 Jeep Patriot. I didn't get a new gasket with mine either. I just reused the old one and didn't bother reconnecting that wire to the bottom of the intake tube. Runs like a dream. 😂
Matt Faszczcuk there should have been a recall for that throttle body. It seems to be a pretty common issue from all the research I’ve done. Glad it solved your issue!
GREAT VIDEO!!! I was able to order my part with the link, and to change it on my wifes car with this video!!! The Jeep was charging $165 Just to look at the issue... the part was $60 it came with the gasket, and it was very easy to change... one hour tops without experience just this video.
@@OmarsGarage Hey question what was your car doing with a bad throttlebody. Did you have the lightning bolt engine light on and it was idling weird and you had no acceleration because that’s what I’m dealing with I was hoping that it was the map sensor but it’s not it’s more than likely the electronic throttle control
@@brianardino3369 watch this video. It will show you exactly what it was doing and what lights were coming on. ruclips.net/video/bfgw-UeSP34/видео.html
I’m having the same issue with a 2014 Jeep Compass. Was on the highway and all of a sudden those 3 lights came on and the car had no power or acceleration. Got it scanned and the code says U0401 and it’s says Implausible Data Received from ECM/PCM. So I’m trying to figure out if it’s the actual computer, any connections, or maybe this throttle body. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Process of elimination. For $60 and a half an hour of work I would swap out the throttle body and see if that’s it. From the amount of people that have had this issue, it’s worth it to try that first.
@@OmarsGarage Yeah thanks man… The part is already ordered and arriving from Amazon on Saturday. I pray it’s the fix cause idk what else to do. If you have any other suggestions I’m all ears. Appreciate it. 🙏🏽
I just finished this. I removed the top(left) of the airbox and the battery and didn't regret it. BE CAREFUL WITH THE AIR TEMP SENSOR! It is delicate and brittle plastic after 10 years. Ask me how I know... Moving the upper radiator hose did help and it only drips a little, you can top it off with cheap distilled water without altering the ratio in any significant way. The gaskets are not included because Chrysler says they are reusable...I bought a new one anyway too 😉 It took 5 trips around my 1sq mile block to run well so Don't Panic of it doesn't start acting right immediatly, the computer needs a minute to get the new voltage range.
My man! Mine gave out at 56K miles. Ordered the part from Amazon for $60 and was able to replace the throttle body in about an hour and a half with help from your video. Great tutorial. 🤘
I had the same symptoms, 2011 jeep not going over 10 mph, engine light on the dashboard, the code is P2112 The throttle body butterfly would not open and when I removed the throttle body rattled, maybe something inside broken! Replaced throttle body and all issues are gone.
Thank you so much for posting this video, I had the same problem, and I tried this replace with a part from an old vehicle (same model) and it WORKED. thank you
Hey Omar Any ideas where to start looking? ABS, ESP, TRACTION, 4WD light all coming on. Drives in limp mode like it won't get out of first gear. Jeep Patriot 2008 4wd automatic Recent scan C102A left rear wheel speed comparative U0415 implausible data received from abs C145F AWD system disabled overheating Thanks
Peter Kertzie great to hear it worked out for you. I actually just finished replacing a lower control arm on the patriot. My mother in law curbed the wheel and bent the lower control arm. New video coming soon 😂
Peter F Kertzie did you reset the TPS? My compass wont start after cleaning and installing the clean throttle body i clean the body without disconnecting the TPS but battery on car is disconnected will that be the cause of no start?
Thanks for this video! I was quoted $684 to repair this exact issue. Less than 1 hour start to finish, and I’m test driving. The only thing I did differently, was that I removed the coolant line . Minimal coolant came out. $96 total invested in throttle body and rubber gasket. Very simple, basic tools. Thanks!
Tony Blash you may have to try get at it from underneath the car. It’s pretty tight in there. If you have a smaller ratchet wrench it would be helpful too.
Thanks for the detailed video. This video and the first one you made helped me figure out what is wrong with my jeep patriot, now i know the part i need and how to replace it.
Mines went out and the wires smell like they were smoking my whole truck stop on the high way and that throttle lighting sign piped up first then the check engine second … so that cause your whole truck to shut off and won’t crank??? It like it won’t to start up but something stoping it?
I've replaced mine step by step from your video and am still experiencing all the symptoms. All 3 lights are on. Lightning bolt. Check engine. And traction. After turning off the car and turning it back on again it runs smooth until all the lights turn on again. Idk what to do.
Try this Jeep Patriot throttle body relearn 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all lights to turn off. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.) Start car and drive around for a bit.
@Omar's Garage, Thanks a lot...your video is like the light at the end of tunnel :D Recently I started getting this Lightning Bolt/traction control light on randomly on my 2010 Patriot. I got all my tools/parts together and plannign to clean (not replace) the throttle body this weekedn! Hope things wok out fone for me. Just wanted to add (it may help others having same issue) - I noticed if I start the car and seat idle for some time (to warm up engine or for some reason) the lights show up. But If I drive off right away after starting the engine i dont see the lights. It is still my personal theory though...so far i applied this 3 times and i didnt see the issue coming up. I am planning to cleanup my throttle body anyway. Cz I read people commented at many diff online posts that it should be part of your maintenance job every 25/30K miles and also keeps your car efficient on gas.
Hey OMAR, or anyone else, can you get me some advice, I'm thinking I have to replace this part. I have a 2014 jeep patriot, on the way to work this morning the lightning bolt light came on, and the traction control and no matter how much gas I gave, it only crept along about 5 MPH barely making up a small hill. Just left from work and again, half way home, which is only about 5 miles away it happened again.. so for a few minutes everything is fine, even if I turn the car off, turn it back on.. I can give it gas, but a few minutes driving it happens again.. is it this part? The throttle body? Is that what was happening to yours? I looked on oriley auto parts and they had it listed for $250 but amazon has one for $75 how much was the one you got from amazon? Thank you in advance to anyone that can give me some advice
@@OmarsGarage I asked the question in a jeep forum and someone said they didn't think the part was plug and play, that some relearning might need to be done.. yours was plug and play just fine right? once hooked up you was good to go? also, did you have anything happen like power windows not wanting to roll up before the throttle body went bad?
Everything else on the car was working fine. I think input the relearn procedure in the description which is something like depressing the gas pedal several times. I didn’t have to do anything but I did have a drive it for a while before all the errors dosappeared
My throttle body from Amazon will be here tomorrow. My 2012 Patriot is having all the same symptoms but the 4wd light also comes on. Hoping this will fix it.
Replaced it today with help from a friend and it worked! Drove approximately 25 miles and it is running great! The only light still on is the engine light. I wonder maybe if I'll have to get it reset somewhere. I am super happy that I got this fixed for 70 bucks though. Thank you so much for the video man!
Kipopolis Chavez so glad to hear you got it resolved. My engine light stayed on for about two days. If it doesn’t you could disconnect the battery and touch the two cables together to discharge any electricity then leave it disconnected for 30 minutes. That will usually reset the computer. If not you can use an OBdII scanner to reset it.
I will try that! I am just so happy this worked, I was skeptical lol. But it made all the difference. I see that you replaced your mother in laws about 2 years ago. Has it happened again since then?
Kipopolis Chavez hasn’t reoccurred not once since I replaced it. I wouldn’t bother with the battery, just drive it for a couple days. If it design go away then look at the computer reset.
Yooo I just replaced my throttle body. When I put the key into the ignition the check engine light flashes then goes away when I turn it over to fully engage the car. Anyone know what that means?
The check engine light and usually all the warning lights come on initially. It’s a way to check and see if the lights are not burned out. Otherwise if the light for the check engine light burned out, you wouldn’t know.
@@OmarsGarage yeah I get that. I suck at explaining lol. I just changed my throttle body. What i mean is after all the lights turn off the check engine light is flashing but as i turn it over all the way then goes away while running.
@@OmarsGarage appreciate it, maybe it’s just the computer noticing something new is wrong and it’s just trying let you know but eventually learns it’s a new part and just works? I read about a reset to learn the new part but after putting it in seems to be running fine. Been about 200 miles so far with new part.
I know this video is from 5 years ago, but is reprogramming or relearning the throttle body not need to happen? Trying to get my 2016 patriot ETC (lightning bolt) and traction indicator to go off. It still drives and isn’t quite in limp mode yet
I have a 2012 compass, will get high mph, but not a lot of power. Has loss complete power 3 times with the car in drive and will not accelerate. One mechanic thinks it a throttle body. Bought a code reader and c121c came up under abs option. Internet is telling me to replace abs sensor or power train module. Thoughts anyone?
i fried out my starter on my 2010 compass after taking out the throttle body and cleaning it because i desperately trying to start it i dont know if i properly relearned throttle.now i have to order new starter and i will just buy a new throttle body.dont do what i just have done.
What was it doing before you replaced the throttle body? My Patriot will start it just doesn’t want to get a lot of power when I put my foot to the floor when I press on the gas peddle!
Same here. It’s in what they call limp mode. Watch this video Chrysler Jeep Patriot Throttle Body Install. Limp Mode and Rough Idle ruclips.net/video/bfgw-UeSP34/видео.html
@@OmarsGarage yes that’s exactly what my Patriot is doing! Only problem I have is my Patriot is a 2006 and has the 2.4L and all of the Throttle body’s I found on Amazon is for a 2007 up to a 2017! I wonder if my 2006 is different from 07 and up? Any help would help me out a ton! Thanks again Omar
Hey Omar one day my jeep started to run rough with the head lights flickering while car was on , I took to a shop and code said misfire ignition coil #2 so replaced it and it ran normal again for 2months then it started doing it again long story short this whole summer I took it to the shop 5 times to replace ignition coil #2 and spark plug and mechanic pretty much said he dosent know why it's doing this , so now I just been driving it like this but weird thing is it will mess up then all of sudden start running normal like nothing ever happen then month later mess up and run normal again can you give me advice I thought it was a lose connection because head lights flicker when this problem happens
Of the lights are flickering it sounds like an electrical issue. You may need to clean the terminals on the battery and tighten them down. There could be a fuse that is broken but not totally broken. There are also grounding cables that may have corrosión on them and need to be removed and cleaned with a wire brush. It’s really hard to say, wish I could help more but it’s not something that either our 2014 or 2015 has had issues with. Doesn’t sound like a throttle body issue though.
This exact same thing happened to me , I saw both ur videos and it fixed my problem on my 2015 Jeep Patriot . It was in limb mode and running like shit . I thank you for making such an informative video .. thanks man
I got a 2008 jeep compass I owned for 9 years now but the the only problem I have with it is when I suddenly stop then get ready to go it takes like 20 seconds or more to know that I'm pushing the gas peddle down. Like the car is going like 5 mph but I am pushing the peddle to the floor what could be wrong with it. I had to put a new engine in it 2 years ago the timing chain went and took the top end out. But even with the new engine out of a 2015 jeep compass still does the same thing
I never experienced that issue so it’s hard to say. It sounds like the gas pedal is electronic rather than in the older cars where a physical cable would pull the throttle open. It may be something wrong with the electronics of the gas pedal.
That makes sence even when I'm using the shifting part of the cvt when I have it in 6th it feels like its sluggish like I'm giving it gas but I lose speed and have to down shift to fifth it's been like this for years. 1 through 5 I it goes great but when I'm in 6th I push the peddle not even half it like I push the peddle farther and it dont do nothing lol but the peddle does make sence thank you
The throttle valve fails because it is filled with oil. I recommend installing an Air Oil Separator in the crankcase ventilation hose. It costs $5-$7. Thanks Omar for the video. We now have a lot of Jeep Patriots in Ukraine. And your experience is very useful to us! A lot of American equipment is fighting for the independence of our country. It is very reliable, but it also has to be repaired sometimes. We won't give up!
This video is pretty old, but I need your help! I have a 2010 Jeep Compass, got my throttle body replaced about 6 months ago, but all the symptoms and warning lights have come back. I’ve replaced my coil pack, then my spark plugs. Which helped for a few days then all the rough idling, the hard shaking when I slow down and take my foot off the gas and warning lights have come back. And it is a hard shake, feels like my engine could fall right out. Do you think I need to replace it again?? Please help 🙏🏼
What brand did you replace it with? If you used the OEM parts it could be failing again. Don’t remember the brand I used but the link is in the description. Been several years now amd now issues with mine.
Hey Omar did you have to get your computer reprogrammed I had a new throttle body installed in my 2008 jeep patriot and the lighting bold and traction light is still on ... Do u think if I get the computer reprogrammed it would fix the issue ?
Edward Newkir I just drove it around until it reprogrammed itself. After installing it only the check engine light was on. It may be different for a 2008 though.
Ok I drove it in limp mode still had no change so fingers crossed hopefully jeep delarship if they reprogram it it will run properly .... Thank u tutorial was excellent
Can the throttle body cause my jeep patriot to not accelerate over 35 mph? Also what have replaced the throttle body twice already but it is still doing the same thing, could it be it needs some sort of relearning procedure to get it to work properly?
Did you replace it with the tb I have listed in the description of the video? I think the relearn procedure is also in the description or at least in the comments.
Hey Omar I had this issue with my Jeep the Firestone said my camshaft sensor could be the issue and replaced it with no check engine light on and then my car stalled while driving I took it to the Jeep dealer and now waiting to see the check Engine light came on. So I’m hoping they can fix it
Are you also getting the lightning bolt looking light..it’s actually a throttle but looks like a bolt. I think I was also getting a traction control light.
Omar's Garage I didn’t get the light night but the traction control and eng light went on and after an hour it would start again but has happened repeatedly
Omar’s Garage just wanted to let you know your video was instrumental in helping me replace my throttle body yesterday. It only took me about 3.5 hours to do the entire procedure. Could have been much shorter if my muscles were stronger. I appreciate you and your video, simple and direct. Keep up the great work! JB
@@OmarsGarageThank you very much, especially for getting back to me so quick. Once I get the official read out on the errors to confirm this is my problem, I'll be using this video.
@Omar’s Garage, I cleaned and put back the throttle body following your video. It was really helpful! However, the light still came back. May be i need to replace the throttle body next. In addition now i got the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard. Any idea what went wrong?
@@OmarsGarage it is actually not the oil pressure warning light...it is the check engine light that came on after I cleaned and put back the throttle body. As per your advice I went to autozone and had it scanned. Based on the code the check engine issue was related to Purge valve. It turned out during the process I accidentally somehow broke the Purge Solenoid Hose that connects the Purge Valve to the engine. I have to order it at the dealer for $13. Do you think bcz of this broken hose I still have the Throttle body light still on (eventhoguh I cleaned it already), and may be it will go away after i replace the hose? Or I should replace the throttle body next?
@@nain426 put the part in amd see if it works. You can also try this relearn procedure for the throttle body , but try it after you replace the broken part. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all lights to turn off. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.) Start car and drive around for a bit. If not then I would try replacing the throttle body. Link to the one I used is in the description. I had been working great for over two years now I believe.
@@OmarsGarage Thanks for the response! I did follow the re-learn steps already-didnt help. So I guess I will replce the throttle body. But will replace the purge valve hose first and see.
What is limp mode? I'm watching this video because my 14 Patriot died after a lightning bolt and ABS symbol appeared. It wont start...wont go into gear. When I turn the key. Thankfully it died one night in the driveway right after I got home. No warning, just dead
Cosmic Head that could be your battery or alternator. Limp mode is when the car reduced power to avoid damaging the engine, but still allows you to drive the car at a very low speed. I actually just changed the battery on this Jeep Patriot and will be uploading the video shortly.
For me it was plug and play. After driving it still had a check engine light that eventually went away when the computer relearned the throttle body settings. On my other video where I diagnose the issue, someone commented on a relearn process where you disconnect the battery and touch the terminals to reset the computer. Afterwards they let the car run for ten minutes and then drive the car normally and it should relearnhe TB.
Mines 2016 compass has been going through limp mode on and off for a year now. Finally gonna fix it by doing what you did. I ordered a cheaper throttle off amazon so hopefully it works 😫🤞🏼
Got a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport 2 weeks ago with 113,000 miles, I know that was stupid af now but it’s too late. Already changed the spark plugs the day I got it when I got it home because I could tell something was off (it was jerking with acceleration after 45mph). Today the engine light came on, took it to Auto Zone and got a p2173 code back, too much air intake somewhere. It does idle strange.... sounds like it’s pulling in air and puffing out hard if that makes sense lol.. taking t to the auto shop Monday but if anyone has any ideas to what y’all think it could be.. PLEASE let me know. Need to know about how much I’ll be paying. I’d love to fix it myself but just really know where to start. Please help 😅 I know no one who knows about working on cars unfortunately so I’m desperate for anyone’s advice at this point. I just cannot afford a mechanic to charge me their fees right now 😅😂🙃
The throttle bodies are notorious for going bad on these cars. In the description of this video is the link to the part I used. It’s about $60 and can be easily installed following this video. If they think it’s the TB, save some money amd do it yourself.
Question, I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot. I was on RUclips researching why its so hard to get up my speed when getting on the freeway. Is this a part that helps that?
Joey Hakanson did it used to get up to speed a lot faster before? These Jeeps have pretty small engines and aren’t that fast to begin with. A dirty throttle body or defective throttle body could also decrease acceleration, but it could be one of several things.
@@OmarsGarage thank u so much for your reply. I've owned this vehicle for probably 6 months and its always been like this. Before I had the Jeep I had a Convertible Bug which I was completely in love with. Someone took a baseball bat to it and insurance totalled it. So my wife said I think the Jeep is slow because of the comparison to my bug. Sorry for my long story but thank u for the advise and I will have tgat part looked at.
I didn’t do the relearn process on mine. I just drove it and eventually the check engine light went off once the computer relearned it by itself. Some other folks have commented that this is the procedure to relearn of that doesn’t work: 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all lights to turn off. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.) Start car and drive around for a bit.
Hello! Mister Omar congratulations on the tutorial! I am from Brazil and I have a jeep liberty 07 that presents this same problem. what solution would that be? Thanks
You can try cleaning the throttle body first and making sure all the electrical connections are not loose. If that doesn’t solve it then I would suggest trying to swap out the throttle body.
I think you are referring to the plastic plug that holds it in place. I used something similar to this Tresalto Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit, Set of 5 Pcs www.amazon.com/dp/B01L8GHB7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RVb.CbEADPVAK I have a set like this one. Some needle nose plyers would also work.
How are you man. I have this problem now. Driving down the fwy and boom the 2014 patriot didn't accelerate had to pull over. But the only lights that came up were the lightning bolt and check engine. Why would this come up? I assumed its because I had the car loaded with ppl and AC running uphill on the 15 towards LA from Las vegas.
@@OmarsGarage the car wouldn't accelerate anymore , and yes I turned it off and 5 mins later i tried again and the lights were gone and I was able to make it home.
@@jayjaymerging2659 that could have been it. It happens on amd off when it starts to fail. Could just be a dirty throttle body as well. The switch on the gas peddle could also be going bad. Could be many different things. The throttle body is a very common failure on these cars though.
@@OmarsGarage awesome thanks ill try to clean it and see if it happens again , might as well just replace it. How is the one you replaced doing? Its not the OEM right? Just wondering if its ok to buy aftermarket. Thanks for all the info sir I appreciate 🙏 your time.
Try this first. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all the error lights to turn on. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. Try not to waver or be too jerky, just a nice slow, smooth push. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.)Start car and drive as you normally would.
I didn’t have to do it on mine...just drove it around and it reset itself after about 30 minutes of driving. I think this is the procedure though: Try this first. 1).

Thank for the video, having the same issue, but it comes and goes, no engine lights and no codes in the OBDII, but, the throttle light comes on and the car star to run rough for a few seconds and then the light goes off and the car runs ok. Is this the same issue or something more. Second it makes this really bad vibration when this happens, is this normal with the throttle issue? Please let me know being that i want to buy the part but if its something else then I wouldn't waste the time and the money.
Marcos Cintron i was definitely getting a bad vibration when this was happening. It was also intermittent on this car, but in the end it never went back to normal and I had to order the part. If your car is older it may be worth it to get a new one anyways as these parts can wear out. It’s not that expensive and with this video you can do it yourself.
I am so glad their is guys like you Omar, to help people to fix stuff. Man it helps alot, THANK YOU.
Just got done replacing mine. 53 yr old female, money is tight. Thank you so much, took me about 3 hrs, with some breaks, 93 degrees out and I have spinal chord damage. Couldn't have done it without you..you rock
Glad I could save you some money. That’s the driving force behind my videoed I am technically handicapped. I ruptured two discs in my back about 20 years ago and had back surgery so I could walk again. No feeling in my right leg and I can’t lift more than 20 pounds. I’ve learned to modified ways of doing things like lifting up the tire with my feet in order to mount it back on the car. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. 👍
@@OmarsGarage sounds like me, had a tumor removed inside my spinal chord, went in not walking came out walking. But I was determined and thanks to your video I did it
07 hasn't run on 4 years, I got it running yesterday thanks to this video. Your the man. 🎉
Great to hear!
My new 2014 jeep patriot didn’t give me ANY issues until last week when it went on limp mode with 120k miles. Love jeeps! Everything points towards throttle body. I’m going to change that and see if it works. Thanks Omar!! Many years later and your still helping ppl!
Thanks for leaving the comment. I love to see that my videos help so many out. Motivates me to make more videos.
So was that your fix Kay?
So. I'm a female in her 30's. And thanks to your video. I replaced mine after the shop quoting me under $1,300. All thanks to your video.
That’s great, glad I could help. My daughters help me out on my cars all the time. It’s never to early to start learning how to work on your own cars. 👍
I have this issue and I am following- it seems like I can’t get to the bottom part of the air tube. Arg
Omar, Thank you, thank you thank you. You're video was spot on, all the symptoms on my wife's 2014 Jeep. I watched it numerous times, I practiced each step in my mind. Today, I did as you directed and successfully replaced the Throttle Body unit. Her vehicle has much better pickup. The hardest part was the bottom hose clamp. Did it myself and saved $ 325.00, Thank you again!
That’s awesome…this video alone has helped so many folks out for years now. Glad I could save so many people so much money. Thanks for leaving a comment. Made my day.
Omar you champion... thanks all the way from Australia just did this to my Jeep Patriot 2014 after the same issues and it only cost me $80.. Jeep dealership wanted $750 for the throttle body parts only!!! You saved me and my young family a lot of heartache thanks so much again
Luke Smith so happy to hear it I was able to help. Your thanks are very appreciated 👍
Luke Smith I’m currently having issues with the same model car with ETC lights on and all. What was the part that you replaced exactly and what Was your original issue? Was it that ETC and the car not accelerating properly?
Here’s a video with the symptoms I was having. Pretty much the car goes into limp mode and doesn’t accelerate past around 25 mph. ruclips.net/video/bfgw-UeSP34/видео.html
Owen McGovern hey mate yeah it was this exact issue the car wouldn’t accelerate but was on we turned it on and off sometimes I would help but eventually it was just reving and not moving. If you pm me I’ll send you the eBay link I used. It’s an easy fix just follow Omar’s video. Our car has been running perfectly ever since
Wow! Great video. My daughters 2007 patriot is doing exactly that! We’ve had it in two shops and they said to take it to a dealership. You just saved us a bunch of$$$$$! Her car has been a money pit from day one! Never buying a Jeep again! Thanks for the great video.
Glad I could help you out!
Same here. I have a 2016 patriot and it keeps having issues. It only has 45,000 miles on it.
I saw your other video where you had the dealership diagnose it. I wasn't getting any codes for mine and the lightning bolt light on the dash would only appear intermittently. I tried resetting the computer first, and that seemed to help but not completely solve the issue. I used this video to pull the throttle body and clean it. Fingers crossed it solves the problem. Went to NAPA and they told me the part was $230+. If cleaning it doesn't solve the problem, I'll order it online and save more than half the money. Thanks again!
Let us know if the cleaning works. I think the part I used was about $60 and it’s been a couple years now since I changed it. No issues since then. Good luck.
Thank you so much Omar. My 2013 Patriot had the exact same symptons. I ordered a new throttle body on Amazon. It arrived, and it took me less than an hour to put the new one in. Only because I watched this video. Except that I didn't even remove the battery. I was able to just remove the hose to the throttle body, and I had enough room to get to it. With the right extensions and everything. Thank you so much for the video.
Clay Gillman that’s great. It’s a tight fit but it’s good to know you can do it without removing the battery. For the video I definitely needed to remove it. Glad it helped.
I thought I had posted to this video but I can't seem to find my post. If this is a repeat, I apologize but I'm going to post a comment again for the sole reason of saving a headache for others who may be experiencing what I went through. I had the exact same issue on my 2013 Patriot. The vehicle left me in tough spot but I was able to limp it home. Bought the part on Amazon for $59 and less than an hour later, my Jeep was running top notch. Wasn't even that hard of a replacement. Thank you Omar! You saved me hundreds of dollars!
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you were able to get it resolved. Still blows my mind how often these things fail.
Link to part you ordered from Amazon?
Samantha Smith the link to the one I used is in the description. Maybe Ben can chime in on if he used the same one.
Thank you so much buddy! I was on the freeway last week and boom my Jeep went down! I was on the freeway with the emergency lights on, seeing your video! Thank you so so much man. You saved me a lot of money and I bought the part for $84.
So glad my video gave you some piece of mind. Not a good feeling when it happens.
Thanks again Omar!
Hey were you leaking oil when your jeep went boom?
Thank you, thank you!!! Saved me a lot of money. I have very limited mechanical knowledge but I still got it done in an hour and a half. Some of it was an absolute pain, but I got it done.
That’s great to hear. Just takes some time and patience.
Omar Thankyou very much for making this video I was having the same issues with my Jeep and it turned out to be the EXACTLY what was going on with your mother in laws. Didn’t want to be charged 500 bucks so got the part for $80, watched your video as I was replacing the part and a couple hours later my Jeep is running GREAT. Thanks again man
Awesome....glad I could help. Please remember to like and subscribe 😀👏👍
Hey Omar how’s it going man so since I replaced my throttle body my car has been running great the only thing that is different now is that my automatic car starter hasn’t worked since I replaced it and the check engine light is on could you give me your opinion on what u think may be wrong with if
Kenan Jones it would be difficult to say. The first thing I would recommend is to scan the computer for codes and reset the codes if there are any. You can sometimes do this by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes. If you don’t have an OBDII scanner, some auto part stores will scan your vehicle for free. If you have that code then you can look up what else may be wrong with it. It may just need to be reset though.
Ok Thankyou man I will try tonight after I get back from work
@@kenanjones6795 Did this help you smh mine is doing the same after changing the throttle body
I have a 2011 jeep patriot and it has only 90,000 miles on it. I replaced the battery but nope... Then I found this here!! Will have hubby put this in and pray that it works :) thank you so much. thank goodness I have another vehicle. This is scary as my patriot just shut off and I was able to get it on a side road here..
Check your air filter first
I have a 2011 jeep patriot and my etc light and traction control lights came on and put me in limp mode (just like everyone else story's) . I changed the throttle body today and Bam!!! She runs better than ever before. So happy saved us a bunch of money. Thanks for the video brother
No prob...glad I could help!
Did you need to go through any type of relearn process with the new throttle body or get it programmed or did you just install it and everything was good
I just installed it. The car ran fine afterwards though the check engine light stayed on for about a day. Went off after driving around 20 miles.
The perfect fix for the limp jeep. Ordered the part, put it in and drove the car. It did not need programming and the check engine light went after a few drives.
Thanks for sharing! 🙏
I have experienced the exact same isssue with my 2012 Jeep Patriot. Glad to see you fixed it with a new throttle body. I hope the same works for me
Elwood Madison for $100 it’s worth a shot compared to $900. Good luck and if you need anymore tips just comment and I’ll answer.
Omar's Garage I received the new parts today, using your link in the description, swapped them out and went for a 45 minute drive. So far the problem has not resurfaced! Thanks for the video and Thank you for being willing to help!
Same thing with my 2012 patriot as well!
I change mine and still did the same problem
I have change the crank shaft sensor and the cam shaft sensor and nothing I need help
Can any one help me with the link to buy the throttle body
It so hard too get the clamp screw off joining the theottlebody
I replaced the throttle body on my 2016 Jeep Patriot. I didn't get a new gasket with mine either. I just reused the old one and didn't bother reconnecting that wire to the bottom of the intake tube. Runs like a dream. 😂
Thanks for this video. Did my repair for 50$ instead of the 415$ for the part plus labor the dealership wanted to charge me
Matt Faszczcuk there should have been a recall for that throttle body. It seems to be a pretty common issue from all the research I’ve done. Glad it solved your issue!
I just ordered the part so hopefully it fixes the problem. Thanks for the detailed video!!
GREAT VIDEO!!! I was able to order my part with the link, and to change it on my wifes car with this video!!! The Jeep was charging $165 Just to look at the issue... the part was $60 it came with the gasket, and it was very easy to change... one hour tops without experience just this video.
Juan Gonzalez that’s what motivates me to keep making these videos. Thanks for leaving a comment 👍
@@OmarsGarage Hey question what was your car doing with a bad throttlebody. Did you have the lightning bolt engine light on and it was idling weird and you had no acceleration because that’s what I’m dealing with I was hoping that it was the map sensor but it’s not it’s more than likely the electronic throttle control
@@brianardino3369 watch this video. It will show you exactly what it was doing and what lights were coming on. ruclips.net/video/bfgw-UeSP34/видео.html
I’m having the same issue with a 2014 Jeep Compass. Was on the highway and all of a sudden those 3 lights came on and the car had no power or acceleration. Got it scanned and the code says U0401 and it’s says Implausible Data Received from ECM/PCM. So I’m trying to figure out if it’s the actual computer, any connections, or maybe this throttle body. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Process of elimination. For $60 and a half an hour of work I would swap out the throttle body and see if that’s it. From the amount of people that have had this issue, it’s worth it to try that first.
@@OmarsGarage Yeah thanks man… The part is already ordered and arriving from Amazon on Saturday. I pray it’s the fix cause idk what else to do. If you have any other suggestions I’m all ears. Appreciate it. 🙏🏽
Thank you so very much for this fantastic video! Just saved us a ton of time and money. Again, I greatly appreciate this.
I just finished this. I removed the top(left) of the airbox and the battery and didn't regret it. BE CAREFUL WITH THE AIR TEMP SENSOR! It is delicate and brittle plastic after 10 years. Ask me how I know... Moving the upper radiator hose did help and it only drips a little, you can top it off with cheap distilled water without altering the ratio in any significant way. The gaskets are not included because Chrysler says they are reusable...I bought a new one anyway too 😉 It took 5 trips around my 1sq mile block to run well so Don't Panic of it doesn't start acting right immediatly, the computer needs a minute to get the new voltage range.
My man! Mine gave out at 56K miles. Ordered the part from Amazon for $60 and was able to replace the throttle body in about an hour and a half with help from your video. Great tutorial. 🤘
That’s what I like to hear. Cheers 🍻.
I had the same symptoms, 2011 jeep not going over 10 mph, engine light on the dashboard, the code is P2112
The throttle body butterfly would not open and when I removed the throttle body rattled, maybe something inside broken! Replaced throttle body and all issues are gone.
Awesome 👏
Thank you so much for posting this video, I had the same problem, and I tried this replace with a part from an old vehicle (same model) and it WORKED. thank you
Glad it helped.
Hey Omar
Any ideas where to start looking?
ABS, ESP, TRACTION, 4WD light all coming on. Drives in limp mode like it won't get out of first gear.
Jeep Patriot 2008 4wd automatic
Recent scan
C102A left rear wheel speed comparative
U0415 implausible data received from abs
C145F AWD system disabled overheating
Thanks
Honestly if you have that many different lights I’d first check the battery out. Low battery can cause a lot of gremlins.
Thank you for the great video. Did exactly as you did... Ordered the same part from Amazon... My Daughter's Patriot is back in business.
Peter Kertzie great to hear it worked out for you. I actually just finished replacing a lower control arm on the patriot. My mother in law curbed the wheel and bent the lower control arm. New video coming soon 😂
So you didn't have to do the re-learn procedure?
@@mattmgarza I did not have to do it.
Peter F Kertzie did you reset the TPS? My compass wont start after cleaning and installing the clean throttle body i clean the body without disconnecting the TPS but battery on car is disconnected will that be the cause of no start?
Saved me hundreds great tutorial! Also helped me diagnose it too Thankyou so much! I have a working car again!
Thanks so much for the feedback...also great to see I helped another person out 👍
My lightening bolt is on and the tracking control light is on
👍
Mine seems to only limp when warm any idea?
Thanks for this video! I was quoted $684 to repair this exact issue. Less than 1 hour start to finish, and I’m test driving. The only thing I did differently, was that I removed the coolant line . Minimal coolant came out. $96 total invested in throttle body and rubber gasket. Very simple, basic tools. Thanks!
Jim Weller 👏 😎. Glad I could help. Removing the coolant line would definitely give you an easier access to the tb.
Well done, and decent camera usage to show as much as possible. Thank you again
Thanks for the feedback 👍
I’m going to attempt to put mines in this morning. I been watching this video all week
Let me know how it goes. If you need any advice just comment and I’ll try to get back to you. It’s pretty straight forward though.
Omar's Garage I’m having a hard time getting hose off at the bottom
Tony Blash you may have to try get at it from underneath the car. It’s pretty tight in there. If you have a smaller ratchet wrench it would be helpful too.
That was the hardest part for me too
I've already replaced my throttle body and intake manifold and now the jeep.just won't start
Thanks for the detailed video. This video and the first one you made helped me figure out what is wrong with my jeep patriot, now i know the part i need and how to replace it.
👍 The link to the one I used is in the description. Hope you get it resolved quickly.
Mines went out and the wires smell like they were smoking my whole truck stop on the high way and that throttle lighting sign piped up first then the check engine second … so that cause your whole truck to shut off and won’t crank??? It like it won’t to start up but something stoping it?
That sounds like it’s something totally different. This never smoked and it would turn on but was in limp mode.
I've replaced mine step by step from your video and am still experiencing all the symptoms. All 3 lights are on. Lightning bolt. Check engine. And traction. After turning off the car and turning it back on again it runs smooth until all the lights turn on again. Idk what to do.
Try this
Jeep Patriot throttle body relearn
1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine.
2). Wait for all lights to turn off.
3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor.
4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner.
5.) Start car and drive around for a bit.
Wouldn't it be easier to work on if you just remove the engine?
@Omar's Garage,
Thanks a lot...your video is like the light at the end of tunnel :D
Recently I started getting this Lightning Bolt/traction control light on randomly on my 2010 Patriot. I got all my tools/parts together and plannign to clean (not replace) the throttle body this weekedn! Hope things wok out fone for me.
Just wanted to add (it may help others having same issue) - I noticed if I start the car and seat idle for some time (to warm up engine or for some reason) the lights show up. But If I drive off right away after starting the engine i dont see the lights. It is still my personal theory though...so far i applied this 3 times and i didnt see the issue coming up. I am planning to cleanup my throttle body anyway. Cz I read people commented at many diff online posts that it should be part of your maintenance job every 25/30K miles and also keeps your car efficient on gas.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Every little bit helps.
Hey OMAR, or anyone else, can you get me some advice, I'm thinking I have to replace this part. I have a 2014 jeep patriot, on the way to work this morning the lightning bolt light came on, and the traction control and no matter how much gas I gave, it only crept along about 5 MPH barely making up a small hill. Just left from work and again, half way home, which is only about 5 miles away it happened again.. so for a few minutes everything is fine, even if I turn the car off, turn it back on.. I can give it gas, but a few minutes driving it happens again.. is it this part? The throttle body? Is that what was happening to yours? I looked on oriley auto parts and they had it listed for $250 but amazon has one for $75
how much was the one you got from amazon? Thank you in advance to anyone that can give me some advice
The one I used is in the description for the video. It was around $70.
@@OmarsGarage I asked the question in a jeep forum and someone said they didn't think the part was plug and play, that some relearning might need to be done.. yours was plug and play just fine right? once hooked up you was good to go? also, did you have anything happen like power windows not wanting to roll up before the throttle body went bad?
Everything else on the car was working fine. I think input the relearn procedure in the description which is something like depressing the gas pedal several times. I didn’t have to do anything but I did have a drive it for a while before all the errors dosappeared
@@OmarsGarage sorry about that, I didn't read the description like an idiot :P haha thanx man
What where the codes for it the check engine light ?
Just to clarify, would this video work on a 2015 Jeep patriot?
Yes.
Can someone please tell me what's the name of the hose at the 7:30 min mark with the black and white tape? Mine has a big hole. Thank you
Are you talking about the hose with barcode label on it?
@@OmarsGarage Yes sir.
@@OmarsGarage Please let me know if you know the part. Thank you
I’ll see if I can take a look at it later today for you in case it has a part number on that label.
that clip on my compass is right by the throttle body housing and it is hard to disconnect.
My throttle body from Amazon will be here tomorrow. My 2012 Patriot is having all the same symptoms but the 4wd light also comes on. Hoping this will fix it.
Keep us updated.
Replaced it today with help from a friend and it worked! Drove approximately 25 miles and it is running great! The only light still on is the engine light. I wonder maybe if I'll have to get it reset somewhere. I am super happy that I got this fixed for 70 bucks though. Thank you so much for the video man!
Kipopolis Chavez so glad to hear you got it resolved. My engine light stayed on for about two days. If it doesn’t you could disconnect the battery and touch the two cables together to discharge any electricity then leave it disconnected for 30 minutes. That will usually reset the computer. If not you can use an OBdII scanner to reset it.
I will try that! I am just so happy this worked, I was skeptical lol. But it made all the difference. I see that you replaced your mother in laws about 2 years ago. Has it happened again since then?
Kipopolis Chavez hasn’t reoccurred not once since I replaced it. I wouldn’t bother with the battery, just drive it for a couple days. If it design go away then look at the computer reset.
Yooo I just replaced my throttle body. When I put the key into the ignition the check engine light flashes then goes away when I turn it over to fully engage the car. Anyone know what that means?
The check engine light and usually all the warning lights come on initially. It’s a way to check and see if the lights are not burned out. Otherwise if the light for the check engine light burned out, you wouldn’t know.
@@OmarsGarage yeah I get that. I suck at explaining lol. I just changed my throttle body. What i mean is after all the lights turn off the check engine light is flashing but as i turn it over all the way then goes away while running.
@@Supremebean303 I’ll try to see what happens on our Patriot when we turn it on to see if that’s normal.
@@OmarsGarage appreciate it, maybe it’s just the computer noticing something new is wrong and it’s just trying let you know but eventually learns it’s a new part and just works? I read about a reset to learn the new part but after putting it in seems to be running fine. Been about 200 miles so far with new part.
If you don’t have a code scanner you can usually go to any auto parts store and they will scan it for free just in case it’s something else.
I know this video is from 5 years ago, but is reprogramming or relearning the throttle body not need to happen? Trying to get my 2016 patriot ETC (lightning bolt) and traction indicator to go off. It still drives and isn’t quite in limp mode yet
My daughter just got stuck today with her husband...for the exact issue on a 2016 56k miles jeep patriot ....ugh....this will def help!
I have a 2012 compass, will get high mph, but not a lot of power. Has loss complete power 3 times with the car in drive and will not accelerate. One mechanic thinks it a throttle body. Bought a code reader and c121c came up under abs option. Internet is telling me to replace abs sensor or power train module. Thoughts anyone?
i fried out my starter on my 2010 compass after taking out the throttle body and cleaning it because i desperately trying to start it i dont know if i properly relearned throttle.now i have to order new starter and i will just buy a new throttle body.dont do what i just have done.
What is the best transmission oil to use for jeep patriot to avoid over rev
What was it doing before you replaced the throttle body? My Patriot will start it just doesn’t want to get a lot of power when I put my foot to the floor when I press on the gas peddle!
Same here. It’s in what they call limp mode. Watch this video Chrysler Jeep Patriot Throttle Body Install. Limp Mode and Rough Idle ruclips.net/video/bfgw-UeSP34/видео.html
@@OmarsGarage yes that’s exactly what my Patriot is doing! Only problem I have is my Patriot is a 2006 and has the 2.4L and all of the Throttle body’s I found on Amazon is for a 2007 up to a 2017! I wonder if my 2006 is different from 07 and up? Any help would help me out a ton! Thanks again Omar
Hey Omar one day my jeep started to run rough with the head lights flickering while car was on , I took to a shop and code said misfire ignition coil #2 so replaced it and it ran normal again for 2months then it started doing it again long story short this whole summer I took it to the shop 5 times to replace ignition coil #2 and spark plug and mechanic pretty much said he dosent know why it's doing this , so now I just been driving it like this but weird thing is it will mess up then all of sudden start running normal like nothing ever happen then month later mess up and run normal again can you give me advice I thought it was a lose connection because head lights flicker when this problem happens
Its a 2015 jeep patriot 4×4
Of the lights are flickering it sounds like an electrical issue. You may need to clean the terminals on the battery and tighten them down. There could be a fuse that is broken but not totally broken. There are also grounding cables that may have corrosión on them and need to be removed and cleaned with a wire brush. It’s really hard to say, wish I could help more but it’s not something that either our 2014 or 2015 has had issues with. Doesn’t sound like a throttle body issue though.
Thank you sir I will do that in the morning after work I appreciate you getting back to Omar
This exact same thing happened to me , I saw both ur videos and it fixed my problem on my 2015 Jeep Patriot . It was in limb mode and running like shit . I thank you for making such an informative video .. thanks man
I got a 2008 jeep compass I owned for 9 years now but the the only problem I have with it is when I suddenly stop then get ready to go it takes like 20 seconds or more to know that I'm pushing the gas peddle down. Like the car is going like 5 mph but I am pushing the peddle to the floor what could be wrong with it. I had to put a new engine in it 2 years ago the timing chain went and took the top end out. But even with the new engine out of a 2015 jeep compass still does the same thing
I never experienced that issue so it’s hard to say. It sounds like the gas pedal is electronic rather than in the older cars where a physical cable would pull the throttle open. It may be something wrong with the electronics of the gas pedal.
That makes sence even when I'm using the shifting part of the cvt when I have it in 6th it feels like its sluggish like I'm giving it gas but I lose speed and have to down shift to fifth it's been like this for years. 1 through 5 I it goes great but when I'm in 6th I push the peddle not even half it like I push the peddle farther and it dont do nothing lol but the peddle does make sence thank you
Do you somehow gap the crank sensors on the 2.4 patriot because someone told me something about a tab on sensors that need to come off or stay on????
Can you replace the intake and throttle body on my car check engine light stays on what do you think it is
Have you had it scanned with an obdii scanner?
The throttle valve fails because it is filled with oil. I recommend installing an Air Oil Separator in the crankcase ventilation hose.
It costs $5-$7.
Thanks Omar for the video. We now have a lot of Jeep Patriots in Ukraine. And your experience is very useful to us!
A lot of American equipment is fighting for the independence of our country. It is very reliable, but it also has to be repaired sometimes.
We won't give up!
Do the car jerks when changing drive to reverse or parking to reverse or drive?
Not that I ever noticed.
Nice job. This helped me in my effort to replace one on my 2011 Patriot.
Kevin Brown I’m still amazed on how many people have the same issue with this car. Glad I could be of help. Thanks for commenting.
This video is pretty old, but I need your help! I have a 2010 Jeep Compass, got my throttle body replaced about 6 months ago, but all the symptoms and warning lights have come back. I’ve replaced my coil pack, then my spark plugs. Which helped for a few days then all the rough idling, the hard shaking when I slow down and take my foot off the gas and warning lights have come back. And it is a hard shake, feels like my engine could fall right out. Do you think I need to replace it again?? Please help 🙏🏼
What brand did you replace it with? If you used the OEM parts it could be failing again. Don’t remember the brand I used but the link is in the description. Been several years now amd now issues with mine.
Hey Omar did you have to get your computer reprogrammed I had a new throttle body installed in my 2008 jeep patriot and the lighting bold and traction light is still on ... Do u think if I get the computer reprogrammed it would fix the issue ?
Edward Newkir I just drove it around until it reprogrammed itself. After installing it only the check engine light was on. It may be different for a 2008 though.
Have you tried disconnecting the battery for like an hour?
Ok I drove it in limp mode still had no change so fingers crossed hopefully jeep delarship if they reprogram it it will run properly .... Thank u tutorial was excellent
No not an hour I did disconnect the negative battery for about 15 minutes still no change
I will try that method the car will not go over 30mph
Very detailed. I like it. 2 thumbs up bro
I changed mine but still continuing to do the same thing
You try disconnecting the battery for a while?
very informative video keep up the good work
Can the throttle body cause my jeep patriot to not accelerate over 35 mph? Also what have replaced the throttle body twice already but it is still doing the same thing, could it be it needs some sort of relearning procedure to get it to work properly?
Did you replace it with the tb I have listed in the description of the video? I think the relearn procedure is also in the description or at least in the comments.
Hey Omar I had this issue with my Jeep the Firestone said my camshaft sensor could be the issue and replaced it with no check engine light on and then my car stalled while driving I took it to the Jeep dealer and now waiting to see the check Engine light came on. So I’m hoping they can fix it
Are you also getting the lightning bolt looking light..it’s actually a throttle but looks like a bolt. I think I was also getting a traction control light.
Omar's Garage I didn’t get the light night but the traction control and eng light went on and after an hour it would start again but has happened repeatedly
Omar's Garage also not sure if it matters but mine is a standard
I would try cleaning the throttle body first. But wait and see what the engine code is.
Thanks for the heads up.You did a great service to man kind.👍
Thank you for the video now I know how to fix my wife’s 2016 Jeep Patriot
James jessee glad I could be of help 👍
Do we have to keep the cover to access the battery?
Yes, it acts as an air funnel
What were the symtoms of bad throttle body? thankyou
Here’s a video showing the symptoms Diagnosing a bad throttle body. Limp Mode Chrysler Jeep Patriot

Thank you, taking time to make a video like this is awesome.
Platypusaurus Gaming you are welcome. Hope it helps!
Omar’s Garage just wanted to let you know your video was instrumental in helping me replace my throttle body yesterday. It only took me about 3.5 hours to do the entire procedure. Could have been much shorter if my muscles were stronger. I appreciate you and your video, simple and direct. Keep up the great work! JB
Thanks so much for the compliment! I’m glad it could help someone. That’s the reason I make these videos 😊
Question: Does the gasket need to be "wet" to seal or can it go in dry?
If wet, what to use?
It’s only air coming through this hose so I put it in dry. That’s just my opinion though and it has worked for me.
@@OmarsGarageThank you very much, especially for getting back to me so quick.
Once I get the official read out on the errors to confirm this is my problem, I'll be using this video.
Dude you saved over 400 thank you
appleskillme glad you got it fixed!
@Omar’s Garage,
I cleaned and put back the throttle body following your video. It was really helpful!
However, the light still came back. May be i need to replace the throttle body next.
In addition now i got the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard. Any idea what went wrong?
Are you getting all 3 lights come on plus the oil pressure light? I’d recommend scanning the computer to see what codes it is throwing.
@@OmarsGarage I got total 3 lights now- Lightning bolt, traction control, and oil pressure warning lights.
@@OmarsGarage it is actually not the oil pressure warning light...it is the check engine light that came on after I cleaned and put back the throttle body. As per your advice I went to autozone and had it scanned. Based on the code the check engine issue was related to Purge valve. It turned out during the process I accidentally somehow broke the Purge Solenoid Hose that connects the Purge Valve to the engine. I have to order it at the dealer for $13.
Do you think bcz of this broken hose I still have the Throttle body light still on (eventhoguh I cleaned it already), and may be it will go away after i replace the hose? Or I should replace the throttle body next?
@@nain426 put the part in amd see if it works. You can also try this relearn procedure for the throttle body , but try it after you replace the broken part.
1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine.
2). Wait for all lights to turn off.
3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor.
4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner.
5.) Start car and drive around for a bit.
If not then I would try replacing the throttle body. Link to the one I used is in the description. I had been working great for over two years now I believe.
@@OmarsGarage Thanks for the response!
I did follow the re-learn steps already-didnt help. So I guess I will replce the throttle body. But will replace the purge valve hose first and see.
Thanks for fixing Grandmas car!
You're welcome :)
Changed out ecu and throttle body 2 days ago. Only 91k miles. Beat that gremlin. Now l have to quiet a vibration
What is limp mode? I'm watching this video because my 14 Patriot died after a lightning bolt and ABS symbol appeared. It wont start...wont go into gear. When I turn the key. Thankfully it died one night in the driveway right after I got home. No warning, just dead
Cosmic Head that could be your battery or alternator. Limp mode is when the car reduced power to avoid damaging the engine, but still allows you to drive the car at a very low speed. I actually just changed the battery on this Jeep Patriot and will be uploading the video shortly.
My jeep is throwing code for the throttle control sensor is that part a plug and play or do you have to get it coded to your car
For me it was plug and play. After driving it still had a check engine light that eventually went away when the computer relearned the throttle body settings. On my other video where I diagnose the issue, someone commented on a relearn process where you disconnect the battery and touch the terminals to reset the computer. Afterwards they let the car run for ten minutes and then drive the car normally and it should relearnhe TB.
Mines 2016 compass has been going through limp mode on and off for a year now. Finally gonna fix it by doing what you did. I ordered a cheaper throttle off amazon so hopefully it works 😫🤞🏼
is it still working?
Got a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport 2 weeks ago with 113,000 miles, I know that was stupid af now but it’s too late. Already changed the spark plugs the day I got it when I got it home because I could tell something was off (it was jerking with acceleration after 45mph). Today the engine light came on, took it to Auto Zone and got a p2173 code back, too much air intake somewhere. It does idle strange.... sounds like it’s pulling in air and puffing out hard if that makes sense lol.. taking t to the auto shop Monday but if anyone has any ideas to what y’all think it could be.. PLEASE let me know. Need to know about how much I’ll be paying. I’d love to fix it myself but just really know where to start. Please help 😅 I know no one who knows about working on cars unfortunately so I’m desperate for anyone’s advice at this point. I just cannot afford a mechanic to charge me their fees right now 😅😂🙃
The throttle bodies are notorious for going bad on these cars. In the description of this video is the link to the part I used. It’s about $60 and can be easily installed following this video. If they think it’s the TB, save some money amd do it yourself.
Question, I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot. I was on RUclips researching why its so hard to get up my speed when getting on the freeway. Is this a part that helps that?
Joey Hakanson did it used to get up to speed a lot faster before? These Jeeps have pretty small engines and aren’t that fast to begin with. A dirty throttle body or defective throttle body could also decrease acceleration, but it could be one of several things.
@@OmarsGarage thank u so much for your reply. I've owned this vehicle for probably 6 months and its always been like this.
Before I had the Jeep I had a Convertible Bug which I was completely in love with. Someone took a baseball bat to it and insurance totalled it.
So my wife said I think the Jeep is slow because of the comparison to my bug. Sorry for my long story but thank u for the advise and I will have tgat part looked at.
Did you have to relearn the new throttle body?
I didn’t do the relearn process on mine. I just drove it and eventually the check engine light went off once the computer relearned it by itself. Some other folks have commented that this is the procedure to relearn of that doesn’t work:
1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine.
2). Wait for all lights to turn off.
3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor.
4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner.
5.) Start car and drive around for a bit.
What was the code that the service engine throw?
I don’t recall but one of my subscribers said P2173.
Same issue with my 2007 jeep patriot with the etc lights on and esp lights on..
Hopefully this is all you need to fix the issue.
Even the car is shaking with etc lights and esp,you think its the same problem?
For the fairly low cost of the throttle body it’s probably worth the try. Have to scanned the computer with an OBDII scanner?
Omar's Garage thanks omar for the video and advice,i already fix my car and save a lot of money..
Awesome! Glad you got it worked out.
Hello! Mister Omar
congratulations on the tutorial! I am from Brazil and I have a jeep liberty 07 that presents this same problem.
what solution would that be? Thanks
You can try cleaning the throttle body first and making sure all the electrical connections are not loose. If that doesn’t solve it then I would suggest trying to swap out the throttle body.
@@OmarsGarage
Thank you!
You do a great job.
I'll do what you recommended
Thanks for the video, my jeep compass now runs smooth than before
Awesome 👏
I replaced mine and mine still didn’t start.
Was it running before you replaced it? If it wasn’t starting it’s probably something else. Normally this just makes it run in limp mode.
@ 6:19 you used a removal tool to detach the cable. Do you remember what you used specifically?
I think you are referring to the plastic plug that holds it in place. I used something similar to this Tresalto Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit, Set of 5 Pcs www.amazon.com/dp/B01L8GHB7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RVb.CbEADPVAK I have a set like this one. Some needle nose plyers would also work.
How are you man. I have this problem now. Driving down the fwy and boom the 2014 patriot didn't accelerate had to pull over. But the only lights that came up were the lightning bolt and check engine. Why would this come up? I assumed its because I had the car loaded with ppl and AC running uphill on the 15 towards LA from Las vegas.
Did it just have reduced power or not accelerate at all? Did the problem go away once you turned off and restarted the car?
@@OmarsGarage the car wouldn't accelerate anymore , and yes I turned it off and 5 mins later i tried again and the lights were gone and I was able to make it home.
@@jayjaymerging2659 that could have been it. It happens on amd off when it starts to fail. Could just be a dirty throttle body as well. The switch on the gas peddle could also be going bad. Could be many different things. The throttle body is a very common failure on these cars though.
@@OmarsGarage awesome thanks ill try to clean it and see if it happens again , might as well just replace it. How is the one you replaced doing? Its not the OEM right? Just wondering if its ok to buy aftermarket. Thanks for all the info sir I appreciate 🙏 your time.
@@jayjaymerging2659 I put the link in the description to the aftermarket one I used. Like $60. No problems in over 3 years since I’ve replaced it.
I changed the throttle body and it’s still happening. What else can it be.
parales03 did you try disconnecting the battery for a while to reset the computer? Make sure the electrical harness is well seated also.
I disconnected the battery for about 2 hours. Is that long enough?
@@parales03 That should be long enough..have you tried driving the car around for a bit. Sometimes it needs to reprogram itself.
Try this first. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine.
2). Wait for all the error lights to turn on.
3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. Try not to waver or be too jerky, just a nice slow, smooth push.
4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner.
5.)Start car and drive as you normally would.
Did you get it fixed?
How do you reset the computer? I changed the throttle body but it is not working? Could another sensor be out? Mine is a 2014 Jeep Patriot as well
It could be. To reset the computer you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for about thirty minutes.
Exact same thing is happening to mine gonna order the part Friday and give it a shot.. thanks for the video
Michael Dee thanks for the subscribe. Keep me updated on if this works for you.
Omar's Garage yeah getting it Friday. So I'll give it a shot and save $$
Michael Dee same problem here. I swapped the parts earlier today. So far so good! Hope it works out for you too
Elwood Madison yeah ordered the throttle body on Amazon today will be here on Friday. I'm glad it's working out for you man. Keep me updated
Awesome!
Will the throttle body you order work with a 2012 Jeep Patriot?
Tonia Stewart it should fit 2007-2016 Jeep Patriot. Check the fitment guide on the amazon description.
Dude you’re frocking amazing
Thanks! 👍
The shop is telling me they'd have to do an ecu relearn procedure if they replace the throttle body. Is there a way around it?
I didn’t have to do it on mine...just drove it around and it reset itself after about 30 minutes of driving. I think this is the procedure though:
Try this first. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine.
2). Wait for all the error lights to turn on.
3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. Try not to waver or be too jerky, just a nice slow, smooth push.
4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner.
5.)Start car and drive as you normally would.
I never did that so I can’t vouch for it.
Thank for the video, having the same issue, but it comes and goes, no engine lights and no codes in the OBDII, but, the throttle light comes on and the car star to run rough for a few seconds and then the light goes off and the car runs ok. Is this the same issue or something more. Second it makes this really bad vibration when this happens, is this normal with the throttle issue? Please let me know being that i want to buy the part but if its something else then I wouldn't waste the time and the money.
Marcos Cintron i was definitely getting a bad vibration when this was happening. It was also intermittent on this car, but in the end it never went back to normal and I had to order the part. If your car is older it may be worth it to get a new one anyways as these parts can wear out. It’s not that expensive and with this video you can do it yourself.
