Throttle Body Install - Now Problems :)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

So, my mechanical skills are still very much in their infancy, but never-the-less, I had a go at installing a new throttle body over the weekend. Everything went on OK, but I now have a very erratic idle ranging from 600-3000 rpm or stall.

 

I've not done any resets yet as I wanted to make sure the exact one required. Could someone please confirm which procedures I need to complete?

 

Is it the full list:

 

ECU reset

Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learn

Throttle Valve Closed Position Learn

Idle Air Volume Learn

 

Anything else I should do / check? This is the first time I've tried the TB after buying it from a member on here, so hopefully a reset will do the trick and it isn't a duff!

What he said ^^^^^^^

 

However you can do all of them the ECU being the last.

 

Why did you change the TB?

Thanks all, everything sorted! Muppet here had trapped the rubber thing near the oil filler cap in the plenum... I clearly should never be let near anything mechanical! Anyway, back idling smoothly at 750rpm now! :)

Well done mate, you weren't the first and you won't be the last to do that :)

 

So true.

 

If I did this my car would be on fire before I knew it :teeth:
