Fantastic, thanks dude. I wound up with an ‘07 Suburban and I am working on restoring it, had a p0121 code and a nasty throttle body was indeed the issue. These GMT900’s have their little issues, but they’re generally pretty easy to fix if you catch it early and take care of them!

My throttle is also runing at 21% .But the wierd thing is that its reading only 80% when I press the throttle to the floor with the engine off of course... I'll be cleaning it up this week.

I'm planning on cleaning the throttle body on my 2018 Silverado 5.3L with ~64k miles due to rough idle condition. According to the trucks tack the engine is currently idling at 500rpm, which I believe is a bit low. If my throttle body is as dirty as I suspect it is I'm thinking my idle speed should go up a bit after cleaning. What IYO is a good idle speed for a 5.3L in park?

check engine light?

not bad at all.

I just did this on my 2011 Chevy Silverado Lt Z71 and now it's stuck in high idle 3088 rpms I tried the relearn procedure like 6 times it ain't doing anything and I put it in reverse to drive it but it wouldn't go anywhere probably too high rpm idk this has me so mad right now I did exactly like you

Cleaned the tb and put it back on did the run for 3 minutes and off for 1 min 3x it made the idle go down but while coming to a stop after about going between 40 to highway speeds the rpms jumps. Is it still not relearned. Or would a new throttle body position sensor fix it?

Hey bro I have a ‘01 Trans Am. I’ve been annoyed by P0121 for two years. I spent $600 dollars at a shop and they couldn’t resolve the problem. My throttle body has never been as dirty as the one in this Silverado. So here is my question. Is it positive for a bad throttle body to cause this problem? I’ve cleaned it many times and I still get the code and piss poor engine performance.

So I cleaned my throttle body out and when I started my tahoe, it went to 2000rpms and climbed to 2500rpms. I don't have the fancy snap on computer but by sct scanner gave me the same code after 3 starts. Thoughts?
