If your vehicle is experiencing weak acceleration, or rough idle, one of the areas you can diagnose is the throttle body. Over time, the valve of the throttle body collects debris and oil as the engine sucks air through it. This buildup can cause the throttle valve to drag or stick, resulting in poor throttle response, or incorrect air volumes! In this video, Len shows you how to diagnose and clean the throttle body to get your engine performing again.

Love your videos. Do you have any videos on if a cars idle drops really low or stalls on start? its not a temp thing because it happens no matter if i just start it in the morning and even when i drive it for hours. Happens every start.
also once it starts and idle drops if it dont stall it goes right back to normal idle
Not really related to the above. My car starts vibrating at low speed, especially after leaving the bumps when trying to gain speed. Any Idea
Lol comes out of the truck with a drill in hand
😂😂😂
Kind of necessary for a Chevy 😂
The socket was even the right size. Man that guys good.
He just smells that there is a throttle body issue
Smart investment have things you need in your vehicle because you never know
You are an excellent teacher, this is your area, so don’t quit. Must continue teaching people like me.
Doing some work on my sisters vehicle. She was having issues with all the symptoms related to the (throttle position sensor), her sensor didn't seem to be removeable (wouldn't come off the throttle body). So I went a bought a new throttle body/sensor. Informative videos, thank you! Even for guys out there that are mechanics by profession (I'm just a DIY'er), incredibly useful video.
I love 1- auto videos. They have helped me in stranded Times. With easy fix videos
I just love the way you made your video, its very handy, professional, the music isn't loud so heard everything clearly. You explain everything so well and patiently. It's a great video. I hit the subscribe and like bottom. Please do more videos. Thanks
guys, it's not always the throttle body. This video does a great job telling the problem and how to fix it. (i haven't completed the video tho) but my problem was vacuum tubes were shot. I do recommend checking from the easiest to the hardest. first, check all the tubes for cracks. Note that to change the tube even if you have a small crack! from then check the AFM (air flow meter) and throttle body. trust me if i did this from the first place i would've saved myself to much money.

Felt my recent lexus 1999 is200 to be slower and less reponsive to my silver one ... just now looked in throttle body , black and oily like beyond expected ! Cleaned it now the car is faster smoother . Also instant revs idling went from 0.75k to 2k instantly until reset ecu . Driving great now 👌
I love these videos. Im gonna find and clean my throttle. If i need a new one, i will order it from you guys for sure!!!
Great intro! I like how he had his gloves on and ready with an impact ready to go.
And it was pretty cool that he just so happened to have car troubles directly in front of the video camera... that was already recording...
@@heidis8713 He is a mechanic soldier. he is ready at any given moment to go to war and diagnose an engine problem lol
On many GMs with throttle bodies the throttle plate is spring loaded when the engine is off and a DC stepper motor is engaged when the engine is running. After cleaning, idle may be high as engine re-learns idle with a now clean throttle body.
Thanks. I do this every couple of months. Also, check your fuses.
Great explanation in 30 words or less ! Concise and to the point. Thanks a ton.
Appreciate all the videos you guys do.The mechanic is super cool and very informative in such short videos.. Thanks to all you guys for doing these videos.. the multiple playlist on different vehicles is awesome. 👍👍

Be careful ( like he said in video) If it's an Electronic throttle body--- don't force it open
Great job describing step by step instructions! Very informative and great personality!

Hey love your videos. I have a similar situation with a 1994 GMC suburban that I brought for 3k 60k miles. Truck ran like a beast but mechanic recently changed the fuel lines and fuel pump. After I started getting rough starts as if was struggling to stay on but once on the road it went away. Few weeks later it suddenly would go past 2k rpm but managed to get it up to 50 mph. Took right and and parked it. I definitely check what you showed. Thanks
check your spark plugs, and coil packs. Perhaps you have misfires causing low acceleration
I appreciate your informative and helpful video. I especially like that you remind us to be safe by wearing gloves and Safety glasses. Thank you.
its funny that yall just posted this lol, i was having these issues yesterday on my car and i cleaned the throttle body n it fixed it so yalls got good timing lol. keep up the good work guys ill keep watching n learning what i didnt know. 😎😎😎
+Richard Mcaffee Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Y'all understand
Thanks for doing the extreme vs non extreme examples
Man you guys have a video for everything 👍🏽👍🏽 my blazer has been stalling while driving lately. I’ve changed spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor and alternator and it still stalled like 10 times on the way home. I just cleaned the top part of the throttle body based on some research and it did not stall this morning and I do I have a deteriorating vacuum hose that I can see. I will try to completely remove the throttle body this weekend to get underneath the butterfly.
He said if your throttlebody is electric do not manipulate it. Every vehicle today. Gonna clean my TB soon. Thank you for the instructional video!
Your energy is dope bro !!
Very visual and one of the best direct content
Love your videos! Extremely helpful. Thank You for the knowledge😊
BRO THIS IS JOE FROM FIJI ,I LIKE THE WAY YOU EXPLAIN ABOUT ENGINE .
GREAT PRESENTATION OF THE THROTTLE BODY
My car was gasping for air during acceleration at low RPM. It got worse when I turned the AC on. My reading was that the air and the fuel filter probably need some cleaning. I went to the garage this morning and he said that the Throttle Body was the culprit. He cleaned it up and I am as good as new :)
Thanks man. Appreciate your work and posting this!
An old timer like me who grew up in the era of Carburetors, this new fangled technology was hard to fathom. You can't stop progress I guess.
I have a vw golf.
All I did to solve the idle, and occasionally stalling when pulling away issue was do a major service, fuel filter changed. And I sprayed throttle body cleaner into the throttle body hole and flap itself. I did this after the service and now my idle , running is fine!! Without taking it off. So it wasn't to bad

Great video I hope it works for me. I’m having problems with my 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe RPMs are 2000.😊
Watching him at twice the speed really accentuates his “fabulousness”! It’s fucking hilarious but overall not a bad video. Concise and to the point.

Buy a bunch of "foam swabs" from an Aliexpress seller. You'll love it for all kinds of cleaning applications and also great to apply some paint in small spots.

Great info! Things you never think about!
Very informative, good on you great guy 👍👍
This is really informative..thank U so much..
thank you its a big help.more power!!!
Great video thanks . Helped a lot
Thank you🙂
Many thanks Len! Really helped!
Thanks for the informations
Thank you so much for this video
Considering the price of 1A Auto parts, I initially thought they were cheap Chinese parts. However, I ordered a timing belt kit from them and turns out it is rebranded Gates. So yeah they're not lying when they say high quality.
Great presentation! Thanks!
Another great video. Thank you...
just got a 2010 nissan sentra sr as a fixer upper for my partner to have her own car. for 2500 I felt that it was a screaming good deal. Only issues it has are loud ac fan (not worried about that even a little, probably just leaves in the fan, or ill need to put in a new blower fan. not the end of the world) and it's slow to accelerate coming from a complete stop (after seems to be fine) so I'm hoping this is the issue. From what I'm seeing, and judging from the general dirt of the car..it just needs a good cleaning inside the throttle body. After having a subaru that had nothing but spark plug and wire issues ALL the time, this doesn't feel like that.
I think this video might have saved us a couple thousand dollars in the longrun. Either way, might as well give this throttle body a good clean for preventative measure anyhow.
Thanks for the highly informative video! Should know in the coming week if this is the issue.
Thank you I appreciate your videos helps me alot
You are just great.
I just want to know how much time have you been doing mechanic?
Len is awesome!!!!!
Awesome video as always

Thank you I learned more from video like this. Then I do at my shop
Great videos....your video s are Soo good
Love your videos guys, they helped me save a lot of money :) I have a small issue that you might will have an idea how to deal with. I have a Suzuki alto 2011, and sometime, randomly, especially (but not only) in the first 5 -10 minutes of the operation, the viechle stalls when I press the clutch pedal during ride. I start the engine immediately back on without any problem. It might occur 1 to 4 times during those 10 minutes, and then mostly it keeps driving without any problem after that. A side note is that it happens more often during winter. The OBD scanner reveals nothing but I suspect that its about a dirty throttle body, and maybe a simple clean up hopefully solve the problem. But before I do that (its quit complicated in my car) I would like to hear your thoughts about it... again, I really appreciate your work and hope to hear your answer or somebody's else in the audience :)
Nice intro😍🤣 ... Good luck 1aauto team
Mate, nice vid. It helped a lot. Thank you.

Great info for your veerhicle! 😉
I've been having similar issues for over 3 years. Seems worse when it's 100+ degrees outside. I will drive 20 miles on highway, all is great, I get to town and at stop light, notice my idle is low then when I hit the gas, my truck is revving high and NOT moving forward, then suddenly it will violently shoot forward (almost got me hit twice on left turns) then my clutch becomes harder and harder to push in with each shift change or each stop light, until clutch becomes hard as a rock in full upright position and I'm stranded, can't push in clutch so cant even start truck. I have a 95 mazda B2300 SE, has 89,000 miles and is well cared for since I got it new in 1995. By the time tow truck comes (3 to 7 hour wait time past 2 years) the shop is closed, or the truck has had time to cool and it acts and drives fine. Mechanics have kept my truck for 2 weeks and cant recreate the issue, then out of blue does it again 1 or 2 months later. Already put a new Catalytic converter and starter and NOthing worked. All the mechanics say my truck is in beautiful condition and drives great, until it does this crap to me again and leaves me stranded far from home. Any advice I love my truck and I love driving stick (which I guess are being completely phased out, which I find very sad. ) Thanks
amazing video !
I learned a lot thank you for your awesome video

A quick question, Audi A4 B7. When pressing accelerator quickly from idle it makes a sound ( Stumble, knocking, clicking) from the initial press. it is alright after the press when RPM increases. Any Ideas ?
