      I recently just had my VR6 rebuilt and I’ve noticed ever sense the rebuild the car would stall especially at stop signs and traffic lights, I popped the hood and I did a visual inspection and I don’t see any broken vacuum lines or anything like that.
      I do remember cleaning the maf sensor out last year but I don’t think it could’ve gotten dirty this quick especially at the throttle body. What else do you think I could be?

    Hey man , my car has been doing exactly what you talked about it your video. I thought something was seriously wrong with my transmission, but I found your video and followed all the steps and now it runs great again. A lot of mechanics would of tried to screw me over on it probably but it’s cool to see simple solutions out there. So I appreciate it , best of luck to you, keep up the videos

    let me save ya'll 15 minutes:
    1. get to your throttle body where you can expose and see it, removing intake ducting
    as necessary
    2. turn key to on (but don't start engine)
    3. put a weight on gas pedal to open up throttle if drive by wire
    4. use throttle body cleaner and a rag
    5. reassemble
    you're welcome.

    I'm really glad that I found your video, I have a Honda pilot VP 2008, about 1 1\2 weeks ago I was at a Red light, as the light turned green I began to accelerate and noticed the vehicle began to stall. I checked the engine oil it was good. I then check the transmission fluid it was above the second Dot. I still couldn't figure out why it was stalling, I have to say TH-cam is great I'm so glad that I found your video I am 5 minutes away from AutoZone where I will go purchase the throttle cleaner spray.

    I have an Infiniti I30 and ever since I bought the car I randomly stall at red light, slow turns, parking, or while idling. Sometimes it runs good but sometimes it just stalls. Just cleaned the throttle body and the problem didn't come back until 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, it started stalling again. When I'm parking, Rpm drops so low between 200 to 400 and sometimes stalls. When I start it right back up, rpm drops so low so I have to press the gas to make the rpm jump until it can maintain an idle without stalling. I took it to the shop awhile ago and the mechanic said its perfectly fine. He test drove the car and it was so smooth and showed no problem. Everytime I get it into a shop, the car magically runs perfectly fine and smooth showing no signs of problem. On the way home awhile ago, I stalled 5 times while parking again. It's insane. Tomorrow I'm taking it to the mechanic to get the throttle body cleaned again. Hoping the throttle body cleaning tomorrow solves it once and for all.

    My 04 Civic, 1.7 non-vortec (200k), was hesitating/surging while cruising and dying at intersections. I removed the EGR valve. There were carbon chunks stuck in the valve of the EGR, holding it open. I used a boar brush and vacuum to clean out the EGR passage. And, wallah!

    I have a 2001 ford focus. Have been having stalling/rough idle issues for a few years. First mechanic "replaced a vaccum hose" and it seemed to fix it for 6 months. Second mechanic had car for 4 days and couldn't figure out but replaced fuel injector which somewhat fixed the issue for another 6 months. Mass air flow sensor was also replaced. The issue is back. Im going to try this but any ideas? Thanks!

    I get this idling behavior (and sometimes stall) as well but when I restart the car the problem is gone. My throttle body looks super clean. There is a screw missing on one of the connections (post filter I think). Could that loose connection interrupt the air flow and cause the issue? Intermittently?

    The throttle body was cleaned by Toyota in March 2020, no problem with idle when I left Dealer. In June 2020 I cleaned the MAF. No problem with idle speed. In Sept 2020 I replaced the battery. No problem with idle speed. I installed new plugs in April 2020 and that increased the idle for less than a day. I think it was in December 2020 that when started cold it would stall if put into reverse without a warmup but rarely.
    On another occasion with the engine warm, parked for a few minutes, then when started and put in drive, stalled 3 times in a row. The near stalling at red lights in gear is the most common problem when the engine is warm. Sorry it’s so long. The engine speed drops down to 500 rpm when warm and in gear.

    Did the check engine light come on? I have a 2007 Matrix that had the throttle body cleaned a year ago at the Dealer plus I cleaned the MAF at home and replaced the plugs and PCV valve. It is now going down to about 500 rpm in drive at stop lights but it’s not til you have been driving for a while. The check engine light is off. Any thoughts?
    Thank you for your video.

    I subscribed. I have a Chevy trailblazer 06 and my engine is stalling when I come to a light or stop sign. I be so nervous. When I take off again the engine light blinks and it will accelerate slow and then go really fast. I hope after I do this it will solve the problem. Last winter I had to crank it like 8 times because it would turn off as soon as it started before it stayed running smoothly. 😣

      Your trailblazer is going into limp mode because your catalytic converters are being flooded with gas. Either your cats are clogged, a coil is bad, you have a massive vacuum leak or your timing is off. Hearing your issue how it goes slow and blinks the lights is 100% the catalytic converter. Change it and thank me later

    It is better to remove the Throttle Body for proper cleaning (4 screws on my car, buy a Throttle Body gasket before, mine was good, but I still replaced it), since there are 2 sensors on it: Idle Air Control Valve and Throttle Position Sensor (both on 2 screws). I don't know if they are there in that particular location on every car, but on my (2001 Saturn SL2) they are there. Clean or better replace them, they get clogged w/carbon. Clean screws, put a small drop of Orange Threadlocker on each, and very little Dielectric Grease on O-ring of IAC Valve, and on all electrical connectors a bit as you normally do. It will be better update for your car. The film is good, thank you, but those 2 sensors are clogged as well as the surrounding walls on the Thr. Body.

    • @RBTheMechanic

I did it on my car, everything works well. The connection between the battery and computer (Powertrain Module in Saturn Sl2) is not good, but they told me at dealer (I need to get State Inspection done) it was bcs I disconnected the battery, so I need to drive more. I saw a film: the author replaced the Thr. Body as well (on Saturn), no complains about memory loss. Hopefully it won't happen on this car, but, again, very interesting fact to know, thank you.
