Cleaning the throttle has been my first step for any return to idle stalling or idle related issue for years, Like you said it is quick and easy and it eliminates one main possible cause. In my experience probably 80% of the issues are fixed by cleaning. A preliminary peek at IAC command % and fuel trims are a good idea also. Keep up the good work.

Thankyou! I have 2001 Dodge Caravan with engine stalling and hesitation! No trouble codes? Took off throttle body and cleaned and solved problem! One shop even told me i had to replace my transmission! Another mechanic put a rubber hose over throttle stop so it would idle faster! There is a lot of mechanic malpractice out there! James
James Sasse that’s funny I thought the transmission in mine was bad. The engine rpm would fluctuate driving down the road. When the car engine idle went up in park I knew it wasn’t the transmission. Cleaned the throttle body and replaced the throttle position sensor and it runs like new
For a female who thought this issue had been repaired 3 months ago, it's a blessing to have some idea of the real problem in order to revisit the mechanic who changed the 6 sparkplugs w/boots and the Intake Manifold gasket to the tune of $631.73 for a problem that reoccurred w/in 3 months & 358 miles, which I consider a fail !!

Apparently, the throttle body is a continuing issue w/the 2005-2007 Ford 500's and sometimes you can check the sensor /wiring as well. I appreciate the video...
Confirmed fix! Today with cars running way past 100K, owners and mechanics alike overlook basics if there are no issues. I find throttle bodies, air filters, and especially plugs are really neglected. The last Explorer I changed plugs on had the original platinum plugs with the gap burnt open to .090 at 140k.
Recently bought a 2000 Malibu for dirt cheap. Owner said it was scrap and wouldn't run. Plugs, air filter were original at 112,000 miles. Basic maintenance and suspension parts, DeX-Kill flush, oil and transmission fluid and filter change performed. Boots for the spark plug wires were literally disintegrating during removal. All said $1100 total invested for a basic ride that runs like a champ, and I'm selling it this week for 2k. A little know how and some elbow grease go a long way.
Gosh guy. I’m so impressed with your expertise and diagnostic skills. Tells me a certification means nothing except a badge on the wall to display. Kudos sir.
Good catch. I like your ethics on these repairs. I bought a 2000 Nissan Xterra with 180k miles on it. I was told the VG33E tends to idle a bit rough, so I didn't think much of a little rough idle. I did a routine throttle body cleaning, just as part of getting it cleaned up and suddenly it idled much smoother.
The owner of this vehicle has hit the lottery. Your one of the few mechanics that actually care. My 05 Dodge Magnum has been stumbling and stalling and two mechanic shops have said "there are no engine codes" and I get it back. I'm on my own with this one, so with the help of your videos I'll continue where they left off.
I always get in there and clean things especially higher milage build up,people dont realize the importance of a clean air intake system. I think you pretty much proved that. Any back yard mechanic can do what you did especially under a rough idle condition. You dont need fancy test tools just to pull the air box intake and clean things. Fords are good for that anyways. I had a Bronco 2 that had the same issue. I cleaned the throttle intake and it ran so much better. My dad told me always start with simple stupid things first before throwing parts at it. Then only do one thing at a time. Screwing with more than one thing at a time only causes more problems and you may never know exactly what part was causing the problem in the first place.
I just removed my airbox, intercooler and ducting (from cold air intake to throttle) for cleaning, as part of a deep clean of the engine bay to remove awful smells. During this I found that the cold air feed pipe was perished and cracked, and I only saw that cos I said "Eh, feck it, I'll take that out as well and give it a clean, it looks pretty skanky". I replaced that part, refitted the now gleaming pipes and fittings and the change is unreal. When I push down on the the accelerator, the van ACCELERATES. Like immediately, not eventually. Absolutely delighted! Now if only I had some work to drive to...
@@KCurramsPhotography plenty of work out there. I’m on my 3rd job in the last 2 years. I’ve negotiated my wage up because they need people to work (in my industry anyway)
@@mso1758 I have a Nissan Quest that goes through Mass airflow sensors like candy. I am on my 3rd one. Yes, they are OEM. I can always tell what it is because at lower speeds, the van becomes sluggish and almost unresponsive but above 45 mph its fine. This last time, it wouldn't even move without stalling out until I removed the connector to the sensor only then would it hold an idle and run. As soon as I replaced the sensor, it runs like a champ. My 04 Trail Blazer required an intake and Mass airflow sensor clean every 2 or 3 years. I could tell a huge difference in performance after cleaning and milage greatly improved every time.
I'm not a Mechanic of any sort however, your videos have provided me with enough information to have reasonably intelligent conversations with my Honda Mechanic.
Another outstanding thumbs up SMA production. Terrific idea to quantify the affect of a throttle body cleaning. The big indicator for me was that after cleaning the max reduction in the IAC opening would NOT kill the engine. Nice work.
South Main Auto Repair.... Eric, How do you adjust the throttle cable on a 94 thunderbird with a 4.6L v8? Or do you have to replace it? I would appreciate the information. Thanks
Great diagnosis of the problem. Had a 2000 Chevy Silverado 5.3L required a throttle body cleaning every so often. Main issue, the throttle plate would stick closed after engine off for a while. Then when it was started again, it would require more gas pedal pressure to get it moving, OFTEN resulting on a sudden surge of the engine. Especially bad if it was in gear already. Had one occasion when I had to back out from a parking space, pressed on the gas pedal to get it moving. Suddenly the throttle plate came loose and the truck surged back wards, almost hitting a vehicle that was driving by. Now, have a 2013 GMC Sierra 5.3L . Don't have that problem, but will clean the throttle body while changing the air filter to make sure the throttle plate is not developing the same issue like the Silverado. THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE TYPE OF THROTTLE BODY CLEANER TO USE ON THE DIFFERENT VEHICLES...Don't want to have the throttle body replaced because I got it TOO CLEAN..
Excellent tutorial, best throttle body cleaning video I've seen so far. Thanks for doing it and I am now going to go clean mine with a lot more confidence in what not to do.
I had a f150 sitting for over a year that wouldn't start and then wouldn't idle. Tried the easy way out and put in 5 gal. fresh 100% gas, Lukas octane boost and Seafoam and fired her up. Rough idle smoothed right out after a minute and throttle response was fast. That's why I'm here in case it proves to need more love. Great video, Thanks. Seafoam is pretty amazing stuff.
My Mazda B3000 pickup has had a symptom for years where it idles beautifully around 800ish rpm then, erratically, it will suddenly dip RPMs and try to die then to recover. This video has me pondering what could cause that.. Great video. Simple cause and effect documented with an obvious improvement due to cleaning. (btw, good call dumping the video intro... Just jump right in. It works for you!)
Paul Danner had a class on this problem, that is stalling, and sure enough! A little cleaning, IAC counts and current all dropped down! We had an OBD1 94 Bronco at work many years ago, that would stall in park, engine at operating temp when the A/C was turned on, 10 out of 10 tries. I cleaned the throttle body in the wash tank and brakkleen. Problem solved! My 06 Nissan Frontier is drive by wire throttle, but does get cleaned from time to time. No problems encountered, just good routine maintenance. It helps. Fast cleaning, Great Video!
Good info! As someone who drives older cars with high to very high mileage, this was invaluable to me. Throttle body cokeing! Who'd of thunk it? Thanks for taking us along and for all the great tips.
Hey guys, this throttle body position part was recently replaced (well just about 2 years ago). It was really expensive and I thought it was worth it. Now after a year of watching videos about my 2009 Explorer (Eddie Bauer edition) I've learned.lots about the trk. Sure I'm a 60 year old lady, but I'm fiesty, independent, and tired of grabbing my ankles when it comes to my ride. Is it possible that all I need to do is clean the part up good to get me thru till I find "my guy".??? ( Mechanic) ???
That is fantastic, great repair. Now that my daughter just bought her first truck, a 05 Ranger FX4 with the 4.0, we'll keep an eye on keeping the throttle body clean.
Man i can say YOU are thorough and precise. I appreciate all your Videos and I thank u for sharing the how to’s to fix cars. I basically am a DIY on my own rav4 2005 and most of the info I get to deal with my suv is from guys like you. Thank you.
Just a comment to say I've saved much time and effort by watching many of your vids, and I'm kind of ashamed not to have subscribed and liked your channel before now. I truly appreciate the knowledge you display and honestly never knew how easy it was to subscribe and help your efforts to help others. Thank you for your service to those of us who try to save time and money by DYIing our own vehicles as much as we can. I have a 2019 caravan I've been chasing a misfire on #4 (yes under the intake) on for a while now. New plugs and coils did not solve it, and I really hardly notice anything but a slight stutter once in a while at a stop. I will definitely try cleaning the T body now. Thanks again.
Had a IAC valve sick wide open on a '90 T-bird with an automatic transmission. It would run itself to and hold 60 mph with no pedal input whatsoever. I think that was the car that the cruise wouldn't cancel with the brake pedal. A really fun driving experience!
Sitting here watching you I could be like so many others saying to myself "I would have done the same!" But knowing....I am full of it! Great work! You are the best and bless you! (I thought I heard you sneeze!)
I swear Google can read minds. I was just made aware of a rough idle in our 02 explorer. Haven't searched google or even looked at the truck yet and this pops up in my recommended videos.
So here's an update. Cleaned the throttle body and IAC with CRC Heavy Duty Degreaser (the best stuff ever, water soluble and melts the grease and carbon off). Idle is smooth as could be expected after 140k. I also took the opportunity to look at the cruise control servo. It had stopped working and I was about to replace it so I figured I'd look inside. I got to see how ingeniously simple it operates and when I reassembled everything the CC worked again. Thanks Eric O you diagnosed my problem without even trying.
Excellent find Eric . I had to clean my Honda CR-V as well and my idle was never the same . Jumped up to 2000 rpm down to 1200 rpm it was all over the place. I tried the relearn a few times and no luck.. I used my Snap on Verus and reset the throttle position sensors and Wow , what a sweet idle and power ...hopefully guys out there with the Hondas use a scanner to reset the TPS if there having the Same issue I did. If not they will pay the dealership to have a new throttle body installed , cause that is what they told me I needed before using my Verus. I called them on the phone and that it what the service told me they would have to do. Beware fellows..
Hey Eric! This video got me to thinking about some problems I'd been having with my 05 Acura TL 3.2 6 speed manual. I was having trouble with a hunting hot idle, or flare, hot start and stall, throttle response lag ( tip in ) and poor mileage. I took the fully electronic throttle body off after looking at scan data, of which I saw nothing out of the ordinary, to find that there was serious carbon build up in the shaft to throttle bore area. It wasn't sticky per se, but just quite a bit of build up. Sea Foam plus carb cleaner and an old toothbrush cleaned it up like new, and I'll tell ya, I am amazed at the difference. Tip in response is like new, idle quality is perfect, and hot restarts are now non problematic. I was careful not to get fluid into the port that goes into the electronic portion of the TB. I'm thinking that would be bad for the stepper gears, sensors, etc. Anyhow, you brought me back to the basics. In the 90's cleaning a TB was part of every tune up. Thx!
I spent close to six months chasing down a similar issue with my 2000 focus with the 2.0 Zetec. Ended with a laundry list...vacuum lines, PCV valve and hoses, MAF, DPFE, Cleaned EGR, Cleaned IAC using the Sea Foam Spray because I couldn't get my orangutan arms up under the intake , finally stopped the stalling, then had to replace the motor mounts too--finally running like a top with 180k miles now...on to the body work now. Thanks Eric
Excellent , my method of trouble shooting is watch how you do it and then try it on my vehicle . I cleaned out my 2008 Honda Crv .. and the idle was high..I tried the relearn using Hondas way and it never corrected the problem..luckily I found a TPS reset in the verus , which was under where not expected. Reset it and she has been running beautifully ever since..
Excellent and informative. Thanks. I can now clean a throttle body and feel confident that although i may not help, at least, I will do no further harm.
Good vid displaying proper procedure. I would have done it completely different , not even close to what you did and totally failed HAHA. That's why I watch you to save me from doing stuff wrong . Thanks Eric
Looking at previous videos. Saw you hat bill was not tore up so I had to check the date. Four years ago. You don’t lose hats very often. Love your videos.
This just came up in my feed so I watched it, even though I know how to clean a throttle body. Boy how things have changed in 5 years! Production quality is much better and Eric doesn’t say “you know” three times in every sentence! Now what I want to know is what is that cool honky tonk music?! I swear that sounds like a Fender Stratocaster!
Great video man, I think I'm gonna use seafoam on my 96 ranger... The reason I looked this up was because of that stupid coating on the throttle body. I'm definitely gonna subscribe... Keep up the good work!!!
i know this was a old one but i think this was a very valuable video for someone just starting out with a garage. you will always have someone come in and you cant get the issue to happen again .those are the most frustrating and throwing parts on i learned the hard way. now people look at you like your crazy when you tell them you need to recreate the issue. but thank you for all the videos i use them a lot
Did the same fix on my 2011 non-turbo Subaru Forester. The guy at the dealership parts dept told me to give it a try... Used CRC throttle boby cleaner. Easy to do and that fixed my car's spotty idle and occasional stalling.
What I discovered when I run into intermittent stalling was to put in a can of fuel injection cleaner into the gas tank when its down to less then a 1/8 of a tank...run the vehicle for like 5 miles...then fill the tank...it seems to usually works...I think most of these problems stem from using cheap gas. So I tell the customer to buy better quality gas such as Shell or Chevron...
ken call, a gas station in my town is known to allow rain water fill their underground tanks, so while every gas might come from the same refinery, not every gas is the same quality.
6, fuck off moron, it does add to the conversation, as it states the different in gas stations, and how gas from different places, allow rain water or just water in general into underground tanks, which is bad, yea...you fucking moron....water in gas is bad for your engine.
Really like you process of diagnosing a vehicle you are a true professional and a real CAR DOCTER! I have my own business installing flooring and take a lot of pride in my work and appreciate another professional that does the same! Keep the videos coming they are part of my daily routine!
Thanks Eric! I’ve found removing the Throttle Body & cleaning them with a nylon brush in gasoline makes a significant difference. (Not recommended for units with IAC Valves that are on the bottom like Toyota’s). Gas won’t remove coating inside, & gas quickly breaks down the Carbon/Fuel caking. Be patient, brush thoroughly!
Thanks for an excellent ruling out of possible causes for idling failure and stalling. Throttle body seems like a good place to start. That truly was a dirty throttle plate. Thanks also for the scan tool application! Great video!
Shall we see SMA shirts for sale in the new amazon store? I too wish to show my appreciation of the 1, 2, barbecue test light aficionado. And things of that nature. ;)
Had a similar problem on a 2001 Sport trac, but it stalled at every stop. It was an idle solenoid at rear of engine. Cleaned it with good old carb cleaner and put silicone on the gasket. Has been working fine for 6 years now. I am going to clean my throttle body because I do have a little rough idle from time to time. Great videos, thanks.
I have a 93 jeep grand cherokee with a 5.2 motor.. had the same issues.. I changed out the iac after cleaning out the throttle, choke and iac housing. it fixed it.. Thanks for the great ideas and fixes! Love your channel and watch as much of your videos that i can! :)
My old second hand Hondoo CR-V has always seemed to have a bit of stickyness on the idle so I cleaned the throttle body when I did the air filter today. After a bit of driving the computer seemed to learn the blow-by gap was no longer plugged with gunk and now it's idling rock steady for the first time since I've had it. Never would have even thought to do this if I hadn't had your vids running on autoplay on my second monitor while I was working last night!
It sucks that an American company does this to this to it's "homies".. I mean, I would understand foreign territories like China or Saudi Arabia, but to our Own? C'mon, Ford.. you're losin me. 3rd Generation Fordster here!
That label was there due to so many throttle sensors failing from solvent spray getting in. The best safe way is cleaner on rag, not heavy soaking on rag, and wiping the bore and edge of blade. Even the stuff described as safe is not good if it leaks into TPS. Then you need to relearn idle speed on most makes or you will think you broke it.
Great video as all are!!!! Just cleaned the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body on my ‘98 Chevy C1500 5.7L with 155,332 miles. Did replace the throttle gasket. Wow!!! What a difference. Cranked right up!!!! The 5.7L is alive again. Lol. Thanks for the info. It helped me out a lot.
I work on Nissan forkless which have many of the same issues is on this program. Fortunately the OBD on a forklift can be accessed right from the dash. It was fun watching you do the very same kind of thing that I do at work every day.
@@HowardJrFord Yeah, but in the meantime he's replaced every other part on the vehicle. Real pieces of slag from my experience. Built to self destruct at 150K (if you're lucky). The trucks anyway. AutoZone loves them. Every night AZ owners pray, "Please Lord of Profit, help Ford stay in business.". At 150K replace every part on them and in another year or so start over. I think the term is planned obsolesence but in the case of Ford it's just unplanned stupidity/poor engineering combined with greed and a total lack of concern for who ends up with a money pit. Ford: the burn people alive company - remember the Pinto wagon?
I had this exact same issue. I cleaned my throttle body . And got some SEA FOAM to put into my gas tank. Then went on a 100 mile trip on highway. Fifty miles up I95, 50 miles back home at hight speed. Set cruise control on 100. I left over drive switch off. Runs perfect now.
Thanks Eric, I have a Toyota that has a throttle body that needs cleaning. So I'll remove it and also change out the IAC module on the bottom of the assembly as soon as my parts come in. Your methods are a tremendous help even though I don't have a 2000 dollar analyzer.
@@PhllyFan_ Not a mechanic but what works for me when I correct something and want it to go through the relearn process I disconnect battery for 30 seconds. Helps to reset any temporary engine codes and appears to cause it to relearn engine fuel trim settings. Good luck.
@@PhllyFan_ It shouldn't change your idle unless it's an electric throttle body. If it is, it should be removed, cleaned then reinstalled then plugged back in. It is best to remove all throttle bodies for the best cleaning especially if it's really bad but it can be done on the vehicle.
I just researched this for my 2007 Jeep GC with 5.7L Hemi. The TB has one of those special coatings. Jeep/Dodge recommends using non-chlorinated brake cleaner for cleaning the throttle body in a TSB.
Hey Eric, just curious, did that Explorer ever come back with the stalling issue..Or was it a real fix for that issue? BTW..love your fun humor too. keep up great vids
The Motorcraft spray is the best cleaner I have used so far. They call it carburetor tune up cleaner. I purchased it on E bay. A little bit goes a long way.
David Billy ironic you say that because the kits they sell to convert regular old toilets to dual-flush water conserving toilets use a mini electronic controller to control the flush by which button is pressed lol
Great video. Not having your diagnostic equipment, I use to set the throttle body screw with a 1.1/2 inch thou. feeler gauge between the butterfly and body, a lot of times this screw had been adjusted to stop the car from stalling.

Thankyou very much Eric for the video my wife’s Mazda 6 2005 2.3L has a rough idle and poor running. Pulled the throttle body off yesterday to find it baked up with carbon, did the old throttle body cleaner and toothbrush and it runs a hell of a lot better now, just a nice flat idle. Keep up the good work. Ben Watson, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
Just a warning on nissans with the 2.5/3.5 engines (altimas, maximas, quest, frontier, etc) cleaning the throttle body WILL throw the calibration off and you will have to reprogram it. There is a method to reset it manually with no fancy scan tools but it can be a pain in the ass to get to fully store sometimes
+Goenitz Lopez 2.0 Sentra too, I heard nightmare stories of people driving to the dealer with the idle at 2000 RPM. I heard the trick is not to move the butterfly manually, but then some people insist they never did. If I ever have an idle issue and the TPS is over 25%, I'll do some research on the least evil dealership in my area and have them clean it.

I just removed my airbox, intercooler and ducting (from cold air intake to throttle) for cleaning, as part of a deep clean of the engine bay to remove awful smells. During this I found that the cold air feed pipe was perished and cracked, and I only saw that cos I said "Eh, feck it, I'll take that out as well and give it a clean, it looks pretty skanky". I replaced that part, refitted the now gleaming pipes and fittings and the change is unreal. When I push down on the the accelerator, the van ACCELERATES. Like immediately, not eventually. Absolutely delighted! Now if only I had some work to drive to...
@@KCurramsPhotography plenty of work out there. I’m on my 3rd job in the last 2 years. I’ve negotiated my wage up because they need people to work (in my industry anyway)
I attest to that! I cleaned the TB and MAF sensor the other day and it became more responsive and the mileage went up from ~14.5 to ~ 17.5
@@mso1758 I have a Nissan Quest that goes through Mass airflow sensors like candy. I am on my 3rd one. Yes, they are OEM. I can always tell what it is because at lower speeds, the van becomes sluggish and almost unresponsive but above 45 mph its fine. This last time, it wouldn't even move without stalling out until I removed the connector to the sensor only then would it hold an idle and run. As soon as I replaced the sensor, it runs like a champ.
My 04 Trail Blazer required an intake and Mass airflow sensor clean every 2 or 3 years. I could tell a huge difference in performance after cleaning and milage greatly improved every time.
I'm not a Mechanic of any sort however, your videos have provided me with enough information to have reasonably intelligent conversations with my Honda Mechanic.
Another outstanding thumbs up SMA production. Terrific idea to quantify the affect of a throttle body cleaning. The big indicator for me was that after cleaning the max reduction in the IAC opening would NOT kill the engine. Nice work.
+Sandbag1300 Yep it defaulted to the minimum "non adjustable" idle speed.
South Main Auto Repair.... Eric, How do you adjust the throttle cable on a 94 thunderbird with a 4.6L v8? Or do you have to replace it? I would appreciate the information. Thanks

Great diagnosis of the problem. Had a 2000 Chevy Silverado 5.3L required a throttle body cleaning every so often. Main issue, the throttle plate would stick closed after engine off for a while. Then when it was started again, it would require more gas pedal pressure to get it moving, OFTEN resulting on a sudden surge of the engine. Especially bad if it was in gear already. Had one occasion when I had to back out from a parking space, pressed on the gas pedal to get it moving. Suddenly the throttle plate came loose and the truck surged back wards, almost hitting a vehicle that was driving by. Now, have a 2013 GMC Sierra 5.3L . Don't have that problem, but will clean the throttle body while changing the air filter to make sure the throttle plate is not developing the same issue like the Silverado. THANKS FOR MENTIONING THE TYPE OF THROTTLE BODY CLEANER TO USE ON THE DIFFERENT VEHICLES...Don't want to have the throttle body replaced because I got it TOO CLEAN..
Excellent tutorial, best throttle body cleaning video I've seen so far. Thanks for doing it and I am now going to go clean mine with a lot more confidence in what not to do.
I had a f150 sitting for over a year that wouldn't start and then wouldn't idle. Tried the easy way out and put in 5 gal. fresh 100% gas, Lukas octane boost and Seafoam and fired her up. Rough idle smoothed right out after a minute and throttle response was fast. That's why I'm here in case it proves to need more love. Great video, Thanks. Seafoam is pretty amazing stuff.
My Mazda B3000 pickup has had a symptom for years where it idles beautifully around 800ish rpm then, erratically, it will suddenly dip RPMs and try to die then to recover. This video has me pondering what could cause that.. Great video. Simple cause and effect documented with an obvious improvement due to cleaning. (btw, good call dumping the video intro... Just jump right in. It works for you!)
Paul Danner had a class on this problem, that is stalling, and sure enough! A little cleaning, IAC counts and current all dropped down! We had an OBD1 94 Bronco at work many years ago, that would stall in park, engine at operating temp when the A/C was turned on, 10 out of 10 tries. I cleaned the throttle body in the wash tank and brakkleen. Problem solved! My 06 Nissan Frontier is drive by wire throttle, but does get cleaned from time to time. No problems encountered, just good routine maintenance. It helps. Fast cleaning, Great Video!
Thanks for the in depth look into this repair. Helps all of us be better mechanics.
Good info! As someone who drives older cars with high to very high mileage, this was invaluable to me. Throttle body cokeing! Who'd of thunk it? Thanks for taking us along and for all the great tips.
Hey guys, I believe this throttle body position thing is once again my problem. I replaced
Hey guys, this throttle body position part was recently replaced (well just about 2 years ago). It was really expensive and I thought it was worth it. Now after a year of watching videos about my 2009 Explorer (Eddie Bauer edition) I've learned.lots about the trk. Sure I'm a 60 year old lady, but I'm fiesty, independent, and tired of grabbing my ankles when it comes to my ride.
Is it possible that all I need to do is clean the part up good to get me thru till I find "my guy".??? ( Mechanic) ???
That is fantastic, great repair. Now that my daughter just bought her first truck, a 05 Ranger FX4 with the 4.0, we'll keep an eye on keeping the throttle body clean.
Man i can say YOU are thorough and precise. I appreciate all your Videos and I thank u for sharing the how to’s to fix cars. I basically am a DIY on my own rav4 2005 and most of the info I get to deal with my suv is from guys like you. Thank you.
Great info Eric, always like your very informative videos! I totally agree with your "Don't hang parts on it"..
Just a comment to say I've saved much time and effort by watching many of your vids, and I'm kind of ashamed not to have subscribed and liked your channel before now. I truly appreciate the knowledge you display and honestly never knew how easy it was to subscribe and help your efforts to help others. Thank you for your service to those of us who try to save time and money by DYIing our own vehicles as much as we can. I have a 2019 caravan I've been chasing a misfire on #4 (yes under the intake) on for a while now. New plugs and coils did not solve it, and I really hardly notice anything but a slight stutter once in a while at a stop. I will definitely try cleaning the T body now. Thanks again.
Had a IAC valve sick wide open on a '90 T-bird with an automatic transmission. It would run itself to and hold 60 mph with no pedal input whatsoever. I think that was the car that the cruise wouldn't cancel with the brake pedal. A really fun driving experience!
Sitting here watching you I could be like so many others saying to myself "I would have done the same!" But knowing....I am full of it! Great work! You are the best and bless you! (I thought I heard you sneeze!)
I have used 3M Throttle Body cleaner with good results.
I swear Google can read minds. I was just made aware of a rough idle in our 02 explorer. Haven't searched google or even looked at the truck yet and this pops up in my recommended videos.
So here's an update. Cleaned the throttle body and IAC with CRC Heavy Duty Degreaser (the best stuff ever, water soluble and melts the grease and carbon off). Idle is smooth as could be expected after 140k. I also took the opportunity to look at the cruise control servo. It had stopped working and I was about to replace it so I figured I'd look inside. I got to see how ingeniously simple it operates and when I reassembled everything the CC worked again. Thanks Eric O you diagnosed my problem without even trying.
happiness is a shelf full of brake cleaner!
Terry v I buy 10 cases at a time crc5084
I go through a can a night when I’m working on my 20 year old truck

2001 Bullitt erratic idle is today's project so I searched here first for the best info. Thanks! 👍👍👍
My truck's been doing similar things. Thanks for the video I'm gonna clean my throttle body this weekend
Excellent find Eric . I had to clean my Honda CR-V as well and my idle was never the same . Jumped up to 2000 rpm down to 1200 rpm it was all over the place. I tried the relearn a few times and no luck.. I used my Snap on Verus and reset the throttle position sensors and Wow , what a sweet idle and power ...hopefully guys out there with the Hondas use a scanner to reset the TPS if there having the Same issue I did. If not they will pay the dealership to have a new throttle body installed , cause that is what they told me I needed before using my Verus. I called them on the phone and that it what the service told me they would have to do. Beware fellows..
Hey Eric! This video got me to thinking about some problems I'd been having with my 05 Acura TL 3.2 6 speed manual. I was having trouble with a hunting hot idle, or flare, hot start and stall, throttle response lag ( tip in ) and poor mileage. I took the fully electronic throttle body off after looking at scan data, of which I saw nothing out of the ordinary, to find that there was serious carbon build up in the shaft to throttle bore area. It wasn't sticky per se, but just quite a bit of build up. Sea Foam plus carb cleaner and an old toothbrush cleaned it up like new, and I'll tell ya, I am amazed at the difference. Tip in response is like new, idle quality is perfect, and hot restarts are now non problematic. I was careful not to get fluid into the port that goes into the electronic portion of the TB. I'm thinking that would be bad for the stepper gears, sensors, etc. Anyhow, you brought me back to the basics. In the 90's cleaning a TB was part of every tune up. Thx!
I spent close to six months chasing down a similar issue with my 2000 focus with the 2.0 Zetec. Ended with a laundry list...vacuum lines, PCV valve and hoses, MAF, DPFE, Cleaned EGR, Cleaned IAC using the Sea Foam Spray because I couldn't get my orangutan arms up under the intake , finally stopped the stalling, then had to replace the motor mounts too--finally running like a top with 180k miles now...on to the body work now. Thanks Eric
Excellent , my method of trouble shooting is watch how you do it and then try it on my vehicle . I cleaned out my 2008 Honda Crv .. and the idle was high..I tried the relearn using Hondas way and it never corrected the problem..luckily I found a TPS reset in the verus , which was under where not expected. Reset it and she has been running beautifully ever since..
Excellent and informative. Thanks. I can now clean a throttle body and feel confident that although i may not help, at least, I will do no further harm.
Good vid displaying proper procedure. I would have done it completely different , not even close to what you did and totally failed HAHA. That's why I watch you to save me from doing stuff wrong . Thanks Eric
+Steve Rob U R ultra premium so I know you would have gotten it sir!
I get so much good information from your program well done your are as good as I have ever seen and honest you can not find tech like you
I did that with my car last summer! I can do that! Actually took the plate completely out. Much easier! Mine was stuck on stationaire, when cold.
Looking at previous videos. Saw you hat bill was not tore up so I had to check the date. Four years ago. You don’t lose hats very often. Love your videos.

This just came up in my feed so I watched it, even though I know how to clean a throttle body. Boy how things have changed in 5 years! Production quality is much better and Eric doesn’t say “you know” three times in every sentence! Now what I want to know is what is that cool honky tonk music?! I swear that sounds like a Fender Stratocaster!
Great video man, I think I'm gonna use seafoam on my 96 ranger... The reason I looked this up was because of that stupid coating on the throttle body. I'm definitely gonna subscribe... Keep up the good work!!!
i know this was a old one but i think this was a very valuable video for someone just starting out with a garage. you will always have someone come in and you cant get the issue to happen again .those are the most frustrating and throwing parts on i learned the hard way. now people look at you like your crazy when you tell them you need to recreate the issue. but thank you for all the videos i use them a lot
Like your motto: "Never hang a part, always verify."
Did the same fix on my 2011 non-turbo Subaru Forester. The guy at the dealership parts dept told me to give it a try... Used CRC throttle boby cleaner. Easy to do and that fixed my car's spotty idle and occasional stalling.
Did you have to be concerned with coolant hoses while doing this. Did you take tb off or just do the front part. Thanks in advance ☺️
What I discovered when I run into intermittent stalling was to put in a can of fuel injection cleaner into the gas tank when its down to less then a 1/8 of a tank...run the vehicle for like 5 miles...then fill the tank...it seems to usually works...I think most of these problems stem from using cheap gas. So I tell the customer to buy better quality gas such as Shell or Chevron...
ken call, a gas station in my town is known to allow rain water fill their underground tanks, so while every gas might come from the same refinery, not every gas is the same quality.
6, fuck off moron, it does add to the conversation, as it states the different in gas stations, and how gas from different places, allow rain water or just water in general into underground tanks, which is bad, yea...you fucking moron....water in gas is bad for your engine.
Top Tier Detergent Gasoline is a real thing!
Really like you process of diagnosing a vehicle you are a true professional and a real CAR DOCTER! I have my own business installing flooring and take a lot of pride in my work and appreciate another professional that does the same! Keep the videos coming they are part of my daily routine!
ur a good man charlie brown!
Thanks Eric! I’ve found removing the Throttle Body & cleaning them with a nylon brush in gasoline makes a significant difference. (Not recommended for units with IAC Valves that are on the bottom like Toyota’s). Gas won’t remove coating inside, & gas quickly breaks down the Carbon/Fuel caking. Be patient, brush thoroughly!
225+? Looks like I should do that on my 98 K1500. It has an intermittent stumble on some starts but it runs great.
Ill look into that. Thanks Eric!
Thanks for an excellent ruling out of possible causes for idling failure and stalling. Throttle body seems like a good place to start. That truly was a dirty throttle plate. Thanks also for the scan tool application! Great video!
Very nice video Eric and I'm sure that you won't see that one for this problem. Take care...
Thanks for the tip of using Seafoam to clean. I don't put it in my gas tank because I don't think it does much there, but it's a parts/carbon cleaner.

He needs to add a special can of SMA Brake Cleaner to his Amazon site. LOL!
Had a similar problem on a 2001 Sport trac, but it stalled at every stop. It was an idle solenoid at rear of engine. Cleaned it with good old carb cleaner and put silicone on the gasket. Has been working fine for 6 years now. I am going to clean my throttle body because I do have a little rough idle from time to time. Great videos, thanks.
You would think that a computer controlled engine that completely stalls out could manage to set a trouble code or two.
+rangerpru well not always...
No MIL unless it directly affects emmisions.
rangerpru no codes for fuel pump relay.

Yeah well that's what many European cars do, and people knock them for having a thousand codes stored.
I have a 93 jeep grand cherokee with a 5.2 motor.. had the same issues.. I changed out the iac after cleaning out the throttle, choke and iac housing. it fixed it.. Thanks for the great ideas and fixes! Love your channel and watch as much of your videos that i can! :)
today a good day! cuz my fav channel SMA uploaded video!
My old second hand Hondoo CR-V has always seemed to have a bit of stickyness on the idle so I cleaned the throttle body when I did the air filter today. After a bit of driving the computer seemed to learn the blow-by gap was no longer plugged with gunk and now it's idling rock steady for the first time since I've had it.
Never would have even thought to do this if I hadn't had your vids running on autoplay on my second monitor while I was working last night!
good video , learned a lot.
My very favorite auto repair videos, SMA!
Some ford throttle bodies actually have a label that says do not clean throttle body, but I don't like it when car parts tell me what to do lol
Cus ford wants you to bring the vehicle to them so they can rip you off by saying it needs new parts
It sucks that an American company does this to this to it's "homies".. I mean, I would understand foreign territories like China or Saudi Arabia, but to our Own? C'mon, Ford.. you're losin me.
3rd Generation Fordster here!
@Never Gonnatell yeap, but it's just somethin bout a ford
That label was there due to so many throttle sensors failing from solvent spray getting in. The best safe way is cleaner on rag, not heavy soaking on rag, and wiping the bore and edge of blade. Even the stuff described as safe is not good if it leaks into TPS. Then you need to relearn idle speed on most makes or you will think you broke it.
@Sam Macaw lol that is a false statement pal
Great video as all are!!!! Just cleaned the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body on my ‘98 Chevy C1500 5.7L with 155,332 miles. Did replace the throttle gasket. Wow!!! What a difference. Cranked right up!!!! The 5.7L is alive again. Lol. Thanks for the info. It helped me out a lot.
“Built in parts tray” hilarious.
I absolutely love your channel, with every video I learn something new. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, much appreciated.
Luv me some 'Break Cleaner' 😝😝😝😝😝
I work on Nissan forkless which have many of the same issues is on this program. Fortunately the OBD on a forklift can be accessed right from the dash. It was fun watching you do the very same kind of thing that I do at work every day.
built in parts trays because you're always working on them 😂😂
True story haha
Right ! 220k miles and the throttle body needs cleaned . What a real pos, huh?
@@HowardJrFord Yeah, but in the meantime he's replaced every other part on the vehicle. Real pieces of slag from my experience. Built to self destruct at 150K (if you're lucky). The trucks anyway. AutoZone loves them. Every night AZ owners pray, "Please Lord of Profit, help Ford stay in business.".
At 150K replace every part on them and in another year or so start over. I think the term is planned obsolesence but in the case of Ford it's just unplanned stupidity/poor engineering combined with greed and a total lack of concern for who ends up with a money pit. Ford: the burn people alive company - remember the Pinto wagon?
Raven Feather , GM, is junk that killed people in the ignition recall. dodge they break down all the time that's way I drive Ford or Hyundai.
Fixed with a can of Seafoam. $11.99. Yeah. Other mechanics would have replaced the whole intake and throttle body.
I had this exact same issue. I cleaned my throttle body .
And got some SEA FOAM to put into my gas tank.
Then went on a 100 mile trip on highway. Fifty miles up I95, 50 miles back home at hight speed.
Set cruise control on 100.
I left over drive switch off.
Runs perfect now.

Thanks Eric, I have a Toyota that has a throttle body that needs cleaning. So I'll remove it and also change out the IAC module on the bottom of the assembly as soon as my parts come in. Your methods are a tremendous help even though I don't have a 2000 dollar analyzer.
I always clean the throttle body and map sensor with every air filter change.
After you clean the throttle body do you just let the car run to get to the correct idle/rpm?
@@PhllyFan_ Not a mechanic but what works for me when I correct something and want it to go through the relearn process I disconnect battery for 30 seconds. Helps to reset any temporary engine codes and appears to cause it to relearn engine fuel trim settings. Good luck.
@@PhllyFan_ It shouldn't change your idle unless it's an electric throttle body. If it is, it should be removed, cleaned then reinstalled then plugged back in. It is best to remove all throttle bodies for the best cleaning especially if it's really bad but it can be done on the vehicle.
I just researched this for my 2007 Jeep GC with 5.7L Hemi. The TB has one of those special coatings. Jeep/Dodge recommends using non-chlorinated brake cleaner for cleaning the throttle body in a TSB.
Great video and info Eric. Bye the way, do you ever have occasion to clean out build up in the intake plenum, or is it necessary.
If there was, it wouldn't effect the idle, maybe a power issue?
I've run into idle issues due to dirty throttle bodies quite a few times. GM trucks powered by LS variants were the most common ones I encountered.
And what has the customer said? Problem fixed?
Your Videos And Diagnostics, Are very detailed & Informative, Some great comedy @ times as well. Thank You Much.. jt.
Hey Eric, just curious, did that Explorer ever come back with the stalling issue..Or was it a real fix for that issue?
BTW..love your fun humor too. keep up great vids

The Motorcraft spray is the best cleaner I have used so far. They call it carburetor tune up cleaner. I purchased it on E bay. A little bit goes a long way.

Great video. Not having your diagnostic equipment, I use to set the throttle body screw with a 1.1/2 inch thou. feeler gauge between the butterfly and body, a lot of times this screw had been adjusted to stop the car from stalling.

Keep up the good work. Ben Watson, Gold Coast, QLD, Australia
Just a warning on nissans with the 2.5/3.5 engines (altimas, maximas, quest, frontier, etc) cleaning the throttle body WILL throw the calibration off and you will have to reprogram it. There is a method to reset it manually with no fancy scan tools but it can be a pain in the ass to get to fully store sometimes
+Goenitz Lopez Same thing with various GM models... research before you clean!
+Goenitz Lopez Definitely learned that one the hard way!
+Goenitz Lopez 2.0 Sentra too, I heard nightmare stories of people driving to the dealer with the idle at 2000 RPM. I heard the trick is not to move the butterfly manually, but then some people insist they never did. If I ever have an idle issue and the TPS is over 25%, I'll do some research on the least evil dealership in my area and have them clean it.
+Cheezy Dee moving the butterfly is pretty much the whole point of cleaning it. If you dont move it you might as well not even bother.
All nissans - same thing happened to my 2006 1.8L sentra. I had the same problem getting the break pedal to input the ideal reset.
