    I can see where this could be a problem with electronic Excelerator. But with an accelerator cable throttlebody is very similar to a carburetor. What happens when there’s too much gas. And why is there too much gas and why is there a sudden unintended acceleration? Throttlebody be damned if it’s not defective. It’s got replaceable sensors the AC in the TPS. I think of distinction needs to be made between the different kinds of throttle bodies.

      Glad to hear from you mate. Appologies for the confusion. Will put that in mind for the upcoming topics.

    I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer Cedia GDI TURBO and when I start it up the revs goes up to 3000rpm on its own and doesn’t come down. What could be the issue with that?

      May be a vacuum leak or malfunctioning throttle body

    I have a 2016 Ram Truck with a V6. I replaced the throttle position sensor and it keeps giving me the same message on the screen and symptoms as before.

      If the car has a wired accelerator pedal, any trouble with the pedal sensor also cause the same issue. a bad motor in electric throttle body also does the same. And also you may need a throttle body relearn.

    I went to service my car and my skoda roomster came up with epc light, when i accelerate, the car jerks, shakes and accelerate slowly....i went for a scan and it was an fault code p0038... Should i clean the TB?

    • @dailyhandsdiy
      @dailyhandsdiy  Před 3 měsíci

      The code said here is related to oxygen sensor. Either the wire has an issue or the sensor ...do check the sensor first.

    • @dailyhandsdiy
      @dailyhandsdiy  Před 11 měsíci +1

      If its a turbo engine, you have a boost leak or vacuum leak in air paths...or if its a naturally aspirated then its a vacuum leak alone.

    • @dailyhandsdiy
      @dailyhandsdiy  Před rokem +1

      It could be anything from a simple fuel filter, aged ignition coils, throttle body...do change the filters, check for vacuum leaks, clean throttlebody, check the air intake sensors, check the health of ign coils....

    My ford car was running perfect. Then sudenly stayed high rpms and wont come back down. The hotter it gets the higher the rpms. Linkage is all good and throttle body not very dirty. I still cleaned it as best i could and still revs high.

I’m actually cleaning the throttle right now, there was black smudge near the back . hope this resolves my issue of slow acceleration and my car stalling randomly
