    Yes, you can. I used to think this about 1/0 (0 gauge) too, until I started running DD lmao, now it's double-runs of 2/0 in everything. Try it!

      Replace the throttle housing. It's technically the piece on the side, but they don't sell it separately, so you have to buy the whole throttle housing. This fixed it, and now I don't have that issue.

    New videos coming soon of the issues i am dealing with now and after this repair was made. These issues not only took my vehichle completely off the road but cause me so much agrivation and stress because of it not being an easy task and giving the parts house, mechanics and sales the pleasure of throwing nothing but $ signs at me 😆 Still not completely done but getting there especially since shes moving down the road again and I've saved hundreds of dollars doing this myself 😊 one thing has turned into a list so stay tuned and hopefully these comments or what i post will help someone with these same issue.

    • @phillydee1004
      @phillydee1004 Před 2 lety +1

      I was told the upgrade helps with current flow because it's a thicker gauge wire

    • @infamous9303
      @infamous9303 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes, it helps with the flow of your power, but I also run car audio competition, so I use more power, which requires larger wire.
      Big3 and big4 also help

    • @infamous9303
      @infamous9303 Před 4 měsíci

      ​@gmillan5150 Yes, but they do not sell that sensor by itself, so you have to buy the whole throttle body and I belive its just 4 bolts that hold it on. No matter what do not mess with the plate on the throttle body bc it can easily become misaligned causing more issues.

    Won't adding that ground create a loop? If you added the extra ground, I would think that you have to remove the old one. The grounding strip. I'm no mechanic, but read something like that. If there's a mechanic reading this please let us know what are your thoughts on the grounding loop.

    • @infamous9303
      @infamous9303 Před 4 měsíci +1

      The more grounds you have will help / give you a better connection and if I'm not mistaken, my truck has 8 total factory grounds. Running car audio professionally I learned this. Also, I have $1300 alone just in batteries in this vehicle, so my connection is different than your average person and why I use larger wiring.

      What he is not telling you is, There is more than just that one ground, You have to go around the motor there are more, even one on back the engine passenger side right behind the intake manifold you cannot see. You did not work hard enough to find ALL the grounds to fix it, That is why it did not work. Remember this miracles dont happen on CZcams everyday when working on anything automotive.

      @@mickeymouse3976 You're exactly right. I have a new to me nice '04, Z71, Burb and had to fix the wire you're talking about. The end of that black/white stripe wire had been replaced before but the cobble job didn't hold. I soldered enough wire to run it to that flat braided wire and that fixed many problems such as no crank, CEL, crazy door locks. There's grounds at the frame below drivers seat, frame- drivers side below core support, block- near motor mount, etc. Grounds must be clean and tight to complete the circuit especially with computers and micro switches. I am running redundant ground wires from grounds up to alternator bracket using 14 & 12 gage tin coated wire but it really isn't needed if original grounds are clean. Certainly don't need huge bulky wires.
