Throttle Body

Throttle Body
Ok, did the search and nothing came up. I did this on my 5th, 4th, and 3rd gen. I just got this and it still appears to have a throttle body. Electronic no cables (of course). Doesn't it have to be cleaned periodically? I'd like to see a procedure on it.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Yes you can spray and clean it.
You need to pull some codes
Most likely you own a 2004 5AT tranny.
how many miles is on the tranny ? its probally shot

Disconnected the battery for 15 mins , then tap the postive terminal on the battery once and then tighten it up.
It will reflash the ECU , sometimes the DBW gets stuck open and this is the steps to fix it.
This might be the same issue

What did you do , and what codes are you throwing ?

If you choose to clean it yourself, don't spray directly on the throttle. Wet a clean lint free rag with TB cleaner and wipe the TB without touching the plate.

Why? unbolt the intake pipe , spray inside with brake cleaner and your good ,I dont understand why your taking it back to the dealer to do a 15 min job ?

not mines , but then again ive taken the whole TB apart from the allen screws.
I Belive Ive open the flap/TB plate as well before on the car without any codes.
Disconnect the battery before you do it then if your worry about throwing codes

Ok Myer, Nizmo says no problems if you disconnect the battery. Did you do that before you worked on the TB?? Nizmo when opening the TB plate, are you going against any resistance? A spring? maybe TB motor? It's not like throttle cables with a spring return.

Thanks Nizmo, let me know if I got it right:
1) Disconnect battery
2) Disconnect connector going to TB
3) Remove TB
4) Clean with soft tooth brush, ok to manually open and close butterfly valve to completely clean both sides and seat.
5) Install TB.
6) With negative lead attached to battery, tap the positive lead once and reinstall.
Good to go right?

I sprayed and cleand my throttle body withouth disconnecting the TB and now it the idle is high. I don't hear the TB adjusting itself when I turn the ignition switch off either. I think I may have damaged it. Does anyone know how to re-program the TB?

Drive to dealer. Pay them.
