Little tip. Just pull radiator hose back and bungee cord it out of your way. No need to pull it and make a mess. You can still get to everything ok. I just did mine and no problem. Great video
Good tip!
Did you still have to take your battery out like he did?
Bill Langdon yeah did u take out the battery??? I’m probably gonna have to do this one of these days lol
Yes I did remove the battery. Gives you a lot more room to work.
You dont need to take battery out of way. Just take air cleaner top off with the hose and you can get to everything. Got mine off in as little as five mins
That was VERY kind of you to make this video. It is people like you who help this world!!!
Bro I was trippin out thinking I did all this work for nothing until I watched the end where you said to reset turning the key on and off, I had already come inside my house and given up haha!! Thank you so much for posting this vid, I had to borrow money from family and for me being a single dad is not easy for me to repay in one paycheck!!! Thank you so much!!!
Hey everyone! brother6ix, I wish you could of seen my face when I came across this video! I have watched two hours on and off of different ones, and I must say this one right is the BEST!! For me, it was like being outside with my brother, and hearing "just put some elbow grease and get it done!" lol, Thanks again, may God continue to bless you. I'll update you all when I finish getting my throttle body off and everything back together for my Jeep Patriot.
I replaced the throttle again in 2020. So now in Nov 2022, the flashing bolt light came on again. I don't remember what code for then, but now the code is p2173. The most of what i been seeing is the intake manifold gasket need replacing. So imma check that first.
Thanks Brother6ix helping newbies to the diy car repair thing like me. This is going to save my GF like 500$
thank u for this video, u helped out a single mom tremendously.
Teri Kelly So glad I could help you!
Im a female and you walked me through the entire process. LETS GOOOO - thank you so much!!!
ALRIGHT!.. GLAD I COULD HELP 🤟🏽✌🏾
Thanks, dude. Voltage light and a sputter when you accelerate in our 2007 Caliber turned out to be exactly what you said, throttle body. I did the job with your video on my laptop, on the work bench. Did it just like you did with no problem at all. Thanks!
Just got threw changing my throttle body. Now i have to reset it.
Only video I could find on this engine that helped me out, thanks man !
I'm telling my mechanics now, thank you so much bro6six it saved me alot of money to the dodge dealership, this video deserves thousands of views!!!
Thanks for the video. My car would not go over 10 mph. I had cylinder 1 & 4 not firing. After replacing the spark plugs and coils it did not fix the problem. Seeing your post and thinking that yes the throttle body does send important information to the ECU which controls the firing of the coils and injectors, I replaced the throttle body and it fixed my problem. Thanks again.
Kevin Greenberg Glad it helped you..
Literally saved me and my husband from being stranded on the side of the road. Thank you soooooo much!!
Glad you guys got out of that situation.
Damm man I'm here asking on forums and Facebook groups and nobody can explain anything. I watched this video and I aint gonna lie I feel I can do it. Imma take a shot at it, my throttle aint flashing that much but it does it once in a while. One time it even felt like I lost acceleration. So I assume is the throttle body but seriously thanks for this amazing video.
thank you.. Once you get started its very easy as shown in video
I fix my cars for the exact reason you do. I’ll call a shop and ask them how much they charge to see how much I saved myself. Thanks for the video
Great video man, i seriously was gonna take it to the shop but your explanation of what to do is detailed and straightforward! keep the videos commin man! thanks again!
I wanna say thank you as a woman I must say it's a MUST I know about my vehicles and or how to fix it and how it should be done correctly I wanna say I am a do it myself 😅
No problem and you're welcome..🤝🏼
Great video, I am on my 2nd throttle body in 3 years.
Awesome video. Thank you for posting it. I was able to replace mine in next to no time. Saved a lot of time and money.
Thank you, thank you sooooo much for this video.!!!!!!! I would never had a chance to replace mine without it. I found the throttle body online at a place called AM Auto Parts. Got it for $59.00. I was very scared as it was $279.00 at Advance Auto Parts. I did wait 5 days for it but installed it in 2.5 hrs. No reset to computer necessary. Saved tons of money in a big way thanks to your video.
Hey! Thanks for making this video. I’m having the same problem with my 2010 Dodge Caliber :( but this video helps a lot to know that the throttle body is the most likely issue. I appreciate your detailed and step by step video!
Bro you did an awesome job! I have a dodge caliber and I know how stressful it can be trying to reach in those really tight spaces under the hood. I try working on mine myself cause I know what you mean when you feel great fixing a problem yourself. I hope this is what I need to do to fix my problem so thanks a lot for the video. You seem like a really cool hard working dad
My car doing the same thing bro. Ima try to clean it and see if it make it better. My codes said throttle actuator high air intake.
Thanks Bro6 best explanation I've seen yet. Keep up the good work.
thanks for the video, I was having the same problem, watched your video and installed a new throttle body. Works like new now.
Dustin Greenway that's a great feeling when you do something yourself knowing that your saving money... Plus you know it'll be done the right way.
Same issues here bro all I did was the last step where you restart the vehicles system with the throttle and key and it worked like a charm
These damn dodges have bad electrical
I appreciate you Charlie...this video made me feel better about trying this myself...im watching it now with my new throttle body sitting here beside me before i go try and put it on...I look forward to that satisfaction of fixing it myself!
OMG, Thank you so much.
I couldn't find it until I found your video. I'm fixing it today
Good luck.. just take your time
Hey Brotha thank you , my daughters car was doing the same thing until I saw your video and changed it thanks again keep doin the Diy thang . E
Thank you im 29 no experience it would've cost 900 something dollars and I overnighted a piece for $130 and it took 1 1/2 hrs to change it but I have a 2011 and it took 20 minutes to get the clamp that's on the hose connected to the throttle body off. Ty so much saved $750 single dad to may I add bc I saw a young lady add she was a single mother lol.
Respect 🤝🏼
Used your video and fixed mine!!!! Also the tip on reset.I also am not a mechanic and have never done any engine work.Yeah, it does feel good!! Thanks so much!
just watched your video and I did mine in 45 minutes bc of you thanks for your help
Great video...straight forward, detailed with no BS. Helped me save money, Thank you
I appreciate that..💯🤝🏼
Your throttlebody looks way cleaner than the one I pulled off. Makes me wonder if i also have bad gas. Caliber stutters when I accelerate, the battery. Light only flashed on once and a while, no longer flashing on when I’m driving but still with the same issues. I’m about to replace the throttle body, hoping that that’s it.
Thank you my best friend and brother, this video helped me out tremendously, I just wanted to let you know that I am not at all mechanic and this helped me out tremendously 👍👌✊👊💪😇
Great video man, all is crystal clear and very well explained. Thanks
andy castel you're welcome 👊🏽
This is an excellent step by video and the extra information at the end was great
Yaaa!!! I just did mine, all thanks to your video! this saved me $1000 easy!!! Thanks man!!
Glad you got it done.. That's the best part🍾
Hey thanks alot! Appreciate your video, easy to understand and good video quality .. proud to say I did this myself.. 😁
It's awesome you bring your kids into the garage with you. My daughter's have all done some work on a vehicle. Plus awesome time together :-)
Great memories
Huge thanks, will be working on daughter's car for this same issue tomorrow.
Thanks for the info. I have two Calibers. I'm hoping that I do not run into this problem, but I'll bookmark this.
Super helpful video! Thank you. Jeep Patriots made at this time had the same engine set up.
Good job youngster. It had a relearn procedure and Yes you did do that yourself 👍
Thanks for this helpful video. I’m gonna knock mine out this weekend
Thanks for the video I took mines off by myself good video 💯💯
Edwina Williams that's great!
Thanks bro!! Good video. Clear and explanatory
Like how much should a mechanic charge you to replace the throttle body? An estimate?
same problem with mine. I have the same exact car. It has always jumped since I got it. So, they sold it with a messed up throttle body I guess. Now, I been told it needs a new throttle body., it just quit running properly and would only go 5 mph for me to park it...so thats how I got here. lol thanks for the video. I dont know anything about this stuff. Taking it to a mechanic bc ill mess it up not knowing what I am doing, trying to learn tho.
Andrea Michelle good luck. This really is an easy project as shown in the video just take your time.. but if your feelings unsure then go to a mechanic that you trust but make them aware that you do have knowledge of what's going on with your car... So they won't overcharge for unnecessary things.
Great video bro! Almost want to do it myself
jaime puga it's easy just go for it
Thanks for the video!!! I just replaced one thanks to your help!!
Does not look easy to take off first but he did a good job.
I have a 2008 sometimes it want start then I saw the you turned the key on and pressed the gas that worked for me thanks
At first I thought that was a cvt transmission, so I was surprised to see red coolant pour out of the radiator hose. But it's an sxt with a 5 speed manual. So what type of transmission fluid does that one take?
Excellent vidoe you made my replacement go very easy. thanks!!!
That's awesome glad you got it done 👍
@@brother6ixx I get to do it again!!! Going to try an clean it this time instead of replace.
@@edmartin5654 no problem.. glad I could help
Thanks bro. Any tips about it not starting sometimes but there is a clicking sound but nothing happens but then I wait and like magic sometimes it works after trying again it’s annoying one of these days it won’t start and I’ll be stuck.
I thank you great video I too have, no had this issue it taken me several attempts to clear (z) but now air bag light on what next I did check seat connecters. thks
Thank you for the video this is what I will be doing sunday.
Mark Howell good luck... Easy work!
It went well other than trying to get my big ass hand into the bolt lol. Thanks for the video it was spot on to what I had to do!!
If you did not do it already, replace the map sensor as well. Mine is a 2010 mainstreet and both throttle body and map sensor need replacing.
Joe G I haven't.. I will look into it.
wheres the msp sendor?
great video bro I just took it out waiting tomorrow to get a new one but when my thunder bolt was flashing my traction control light was on also.. in the beginning of your video it was just the bolt flashing is it still going to be my throttle body
Shawn Penson yep
Would a throttle body issue cause the car to have transmission issues and codes po700 and or po730?
I had to do this on my 2007. Pain in the ass.
Thanks Brother6ix.
Nice video!!!
hmm. I have a 2010 caliber and the tbs light is on. Why is that light not on for your car? Only the check engine light? I don't get it. I went to get diagnosed st AutoZone and they told me it's the crank shaft sensor. Yetmy tbs light is on? So confused
A Great video! Throughly explained thanks bro
was the problem the throttle body or did it just need reprogramming?
I've got a caliber srt and I'm currently having the same issue it was jerking so bad and the lil lightning ⚡ symbol is on but I'ma take it to a pro to do it I would love to do it but I don't have a garage and my yard is gravel
You don't need a garage to change the throttle body. All you need is the proper tools which are not that many.... Good luck. I hope you get this problem resolved quickly. But I can assure you you could do it yourself and save money on labor
@@brother6ixx thnx man
So i did the reset steps. But my damn lighting bolt still pop on. It happens in the morning time tho. Do anyone know what that could be.
DO you mind if I ask where is the transmission? I need to replace the cap, but I can't find the transmission. At 4:11 I see your hand beside something that I thought it could be the transmission cap but my caliber 2010 doesn't have that.
Would this technique work on a Dodge Journey 2010
I have this issue with my caliber
Great video got a question about the part tho j went to autozone wanted to charge close to 300 for a kit but seen the part online for 40 so do I need the whole kit?
If you can find that throttle body for cheaper than $300...... then I would get that instead of spending all of that money...... the only thing that came in the box when I bought my throttle body. Is the throttle body itself .... I'm not sure what else there would be
best video ever, thank you so much!!!
FirstNameGoesHere you're welcome... Thanks for watching I appreciate that
brother6ix you're welcome
Thanks for doing this video brotha!
Avys Burroughs you're welcome bro.. Thanks for watching 🤛🏽
I have 13 compass 2.4. My hesitates and jerks while im accelerating and the red lightning bolt pops up on my dash and when i let the rpms go back down it goes away and does the samething over again. I thought maybe it was just the throttle body sensor???
My car doesn't necessarily jerk, but while at a light it idles kinda rough like it wants to stall. If push brake and accelerate a little it'll smooth the idle. Yesterday it flat out stalled, cranked right back up though. Do you think it may be this same issue? I don't have any lights come on what so ever.
Thanks in advance
You really shouldn't do that with a cvt transmission it is very bad for them
I have a 2010 dodge caliber sxt and it looses power after take sometimes not all the time and when it does that I just pull over shut it off for only a second and restart it and it starts to accelerate just fine for about 10 miles or so and does it all over again.and seems like it stays In first gear all the time and when then loose.power as Im driving ! Does anyone know whether it's the TCM : ECM or the throttle body ?? Really would like to get some opinions!! Thanks!!
I'm almost positively sure it's the throttle body... everything you described is all things that was happening to my car at the time. When I change the throttle body it was running like new again
Hey lets connect plastic sensors and parts to heated aluminum and metal on newer cars because thats a great Idea.... Only ones that benefit is the manufacturer and engineer that designs and sells these expensive junk cars I have to fix every day.
Good Vid helped me out
what if it went in limp mode after replacing
Hey Charlie you just got a sub from me , sweet video. I have a crazy question is there anyway you can post a step by step re learn procedure, for after install?
All u have to do is turn the ignition to on position only not run then wait until all dash board light settle then hold the gas pedal way down for 20 second, then release slowly within 10 second , then turn off ignition for 3hours .....then drive around slowly for a weak for eco or drive harsh and fast for sport mode....eco mode will make the engine silent on acceleration and sport mode will make the muffler roar on every acceleration.
Wait 3 hours before driving it after replacing the throttle body??? I'm about to go takle this myself and I live in the country bunkin area lol (I'm a city girl) and these folks think I'm crazy for doing it myself because I'm a female!?? 🙄🤣🤣😒🤣🤣🤣🤣 I got this 💪💪😉😂
@@brandygoyer5940 Ok So mine is a 2011 caliber, the way I relearned the throttle, after install and everything is put back together, get in the car and shut the door it will not work unless you shut the door on driver's side, put the key in the ignition and turn it to the on position 3 times and do it kind of fast, but do not start the engine so just , on,off,on,off and on the third time of turning it on just leave it and look at the dash where your odometer is and you will see three dashes and then wait a few seconds and it will eventually say Done! , Now turn it off and start the vehicle and voila!
@@brandygoyer5940 you can actually try this procedure before replacing it with the new one until you get it figured out , on,off,on,off, then leave on the third time you turn it on and watch dashboard where odometer is.
Hi so I have a 2009 caliber and it keeps going into limp mode any advice Charlie or anyone thanks Gina
When you press the gas and the car just simply won't get up to speed... more than likely it is the throttle body
I have almost the same issue but, my '07 Caliber stalls immediately after starting it, or "cranking it ON"! I put the ignition key in the ON position and every light on dashboard goes out, except the lighting bolt one, which, briefly stays ON for like 3 seconds, then, turns OFF.
Brad Canelo it's probably the throttle body
Did this fix your problem brad? Mines doing the same exact thing
Thank you.
How did you know it wasn't the acceleration pedal sensor instead of the throttle body?
Спасибо за видео, все наглядно и понятно. Спасибо и привет из России!) Хорошего Вам дня!
Do you know if it would be the same procedure for a 2010 Dodge Avenger? Great video.
Adrian Becerra I'm not sure if the procedure is the same but I will check on it and get back to you.
brother6ix thanks man I would greatly appreciate it.
My Dodge avenger is jerking and running roughly at stop lights and has a p0303 code please help
Hi Charlie, thx for this video. I have the same issue and would like to know if you know some online shops where I could buy some 2011 dodge caliber pieces?
I don't know of any online shops besides Amazon. They have some really good prices for Dodge Caliber parts.
Thx a lot :-)
Did changing the throttle body fix the problem?
Thx for this video. Helpt me a lot!
thanks dude
Bro you sound like funny Marco 😂
Hi guys... Greetings from the Netherlands. Last week we bought a Chrysler Sebring with the similar 2.0 engine. By the way it's a 5 speed manual. That car have almost the same issue. It jerks while acceleration only thing we don't have any codes and no warning lights are on... What you guys think could it be throttle body?
Since it's Manuel your probably the problem 😂🙄🤣🤣🤣😉🤷
cant you just clean it and return it back?
never use a creasent wrench
would it work for the avenger 2010?
So since you put on a new throttle body and it being a electronic throttle body you didn't go get it calibrated with a computer? I was told it would needed to be plugged in to do it?
gabriel gallegos No I didn't have to get it calibrated with a computer.. Just follow the instructions at the end of the video.. That's all I did.
Nice one! 👍
Did this actually fix the problem in the long run?
Yes! Never had that problem again
