I've been dealing with this very issue on my wife's 2009 Silverado 4.8. I messed up and did the exact same thing. Apparently, it's a popular mistake for us older folk who used to work on cars before every damn thing became computerized. Looks like I'm pulling the throttle body again after work. Thanks, brother.

I just wanna thank you, I racked my brain for a two weeks, and I did this today and it fixed my issue, never knew the butterfly had to move both ways.

I'm pretty sure this is my exact problem on my 2009 h3 and I really appreciate your video about it. I notice its MOSTLY in very cold weather such as below 20 degrees or so and I'm thinking you just gave me the explanation for what I need to do. Thanks for your video and time spent to help others!

@MammaMia Instead of removing the whole intake I simply removed the short intake hose which goes to the butterfly valve intake. It's big enough to reach inside and use carburetor cleaner on the inside. I don't recommend spraying directly inside. I sprayed the cleaner on a rag and reached in manually to wipe the carbon build up off which will be clearly visible if this is the problem. Another thing to watch for is gaps or holes or any breaches in the black intake hose which goes to the throttle intake. In my case I had a big gap where the hose was not sealing around the intake which allowed outside air to enter and create the carbon buildup

I can't thank you enough for posting this video. It was the exact same problem I was having. You Sir, are genius!

@@blakecollier92 My car was running fine I just wanted to clean my throttle body as it was getting quite gummed up. I also removed the throttle plate to clean it and reinstalled it. After I put the throttle body back on the car and started it the car would barely idle and ran so bad it wasn't even drivable. After watching this man's video I realized the throttle plate would not move in both directions as it was catching on the throttle housing. After I readjusted the plate to allow it to move in both directions it started up and ran beautifully. and it's been running fine ever since. Problem solved!

Thank You. It helped me. Same problem, same fix. You are a rockstar sir.

You saved my skin, man! I cleaned the throttle body in my '07 trailblazer and I thought it would be a good idea to remove the valve plate. I got it all put back together and the truck was idling terribly like it was misfiring. The check engine, reduced power and stabilitrack lights went on and I couldn't drive past about 30 mph (limp home/reduced power mode). I tried disconnecting the battery and driving it to see if that would fix the issues but nothing worked. I thought I was in for a tow and at least a couple hundred dollars in diagnostic time and repairs until I found your video. The plate would not go to the 90° position so i flipped it around and viola! After reassembly it was doing all the same things until I cleared the codes (with my $20 Walmart scam tool) and restarted the truck. Everything works perfectly now! I can't thank you enough!

This helped me brother. Muchas THANK YOU!💪 I thought I was dead in the water to have to tell a friend to start buying all kinds of parts. 👍

Thanks for sharing...I just replaced both my Brake Pedal Sensor and the Accelerator Pedal Sensor on my '10 GMC Acadia, but it is STILL giving the "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" message. Now I am being told that it is the Throttle Body that needs to be cleaned/replaced. I was told to go with the easy cheaper fix first, but now I am going to be out of way more than the $300 price of this part. I wish I would've watched your video first; would've saved me time and money.

Thanks man, You saved me a load of cash. Much appreciated.

Dude thanks for making this video, I did the same exact thing on mine and I almost bought a new tb.

This actually helped me. I have been trying to figure out why the car has been in limp mode. Even replaced the ECM. I am going to clean the Throttle body thoroughly tomorrow and hope it runs. Thanks for the video.

Hi Sr my throdobody for a Chevy equinox is always ramp.3.

Thanks so much for this! I cleaned the throttle body on my 2007 Hummer H3, same problem (I removed the butterfly) to fix the issue I simple loosened the Torx screws holding the butterfly and moved it a little, I then verified it would move freely in both directions, re-installed the throttle body and issue resolved! no need for emery cloth, there is some play in the screws that hold the butterfly, just align it properly

You right I did make a mistake of removing the plate but I was polishing the throttle body all extra aluminum dust got inside where the sensor is. I clean everything and I did put the blade backwards. Thanks because when I saw your video I realized that. But I have a 2007 tahoe and on the blade it has a small circle ⭕️. I don’t recommend removing your blade because the circle ⭕️ is for calibrate the throttle body if you don’t make a mark where exactly needs to be buy a new one. This happen last year now I tahoe is all mod 700 hp. Thanks you is a really good tip.

YUP! Peaches is the bomb!

05:00 and the c30s following. I've had a quick look through the comments and no-one seems to have offered any explanation for this "natural position" of the throttle butterfly. So let me see if I can help: The throttle butterfly has a natural 'rest' position which, if you use live data, will be somewhere around 30% open (on my Saab 9-3 it is 34%). At natural idle the butterfly is at around 10% or so open (obviously these figures will vary from car to car). One of the reasons for this is that the ECM needs a "reference position" of the butterfly that it can use to check operation. Despite what people might think, idle is NOT a reference position because the amount of throttle opening (in %,as we are discussing) will be different at every idle status. This is because factors such as barometric pressure, electrical load (alternator) and ac load are different every time the engine drops to idle. The ECM will be adjusting the throttle to maintain the correct idle speed. Another reason is emissions and fuel economy (I'm considering these together rather than as two reasons). Let's say you are driving along at a steady 70mph and about a half mile ahead you need to stop. At a quarter to a third of a mile you lift off the throttle pedal and the car starts to slow (engine braking, aerodynamic resistance and rolling resistance). The ECM closes the throttle to its natural rest position (about 30% open) and cuts the fuel flow through the injectors. The engine is now a simple air pump and because the butterfly is at an increased opening compared to idle, it is breathing more air than it does at idle. This has several effects, but chief among them is that there is less engine braking than there would be if the butterfly were at idle position. This means you can lift off earlier than you would in a cable driven car and so the car runs along for a greater distance with ZERO fuel consumption (remember fuel is cut off - in a carb engine the carb would be delivering fuel over this same distance). This is good for fuel economy and emissions (of course it is, lol, on any given journey you now have a number of periods where the car is consuming no fuel, reducing the total amount of fuel used for that journey and no fuel consumed also means no emissions during those same periods). You've kept the car in top gear and as you approach the point to stop, the engine speed will fall and at around 1300-1500 (varies from car to car) the ECM will command the butterfly to idle position and fuel injectors reactivate. You press the clutch, the engine settles to idle and you use the brakes for the last bit. During the period of the engine acting as a simple air pump (we call this 'fuel cutoff under over-run' - over-run being when the engine is being driven by the wheels and the cars forward momentum), the air also acts to cool internal engine parts, the turbo turbine (if fitted) and the cat (particularly beneficial if the engine has just been working hard and is running hot as a result). IF my essay made sense to you, you can see that a significant improvement in fuel economy can be had by allowing the car to slow down in gear naturally as much as is safe and practical (being aware of road and traffic conditions) and using the brakes as little as possible. Allow the car to slow down in whichever gear it is in and dip the clutch when the engine speed is down to about 1300-1400rpm. This also reduces brake wear,which reduces costs over time. Don't believe me? Try it! Questions? Ask away, I'll try to answer, provided I spot the notifications. And if you've read this far, why not check out my channel.

NOTE:.... If your Car / Truck Stalling after Cleaning and replacing all that stuff, etc...... You might want to " RUN " the Engine at " Idle " for a bit, so the " MAF Sensor " can Calculate your Fuel Ratio. Your Engine might be just fine... Just the MAF Sensor has to talk to the Computer. so it can " Re-calibrate " your Fuel.

If removing the throttle air valve blade, note the front as many have tapered edges. Like a tight fitting door, its outer edge is angled. Fuel enrichment comes from longer injector duration as intake air temp is input for cold start up or coolant temp. Many use both inputs because it does not work like a carb choke.

Having the same exact issues, codes, and symptoms. Cleaned the throttle body twice since it was really built up with carbon and im still having the same problem. Car starts off fine and goes into limp after a few minutes.

Hey! Okay so I have this 2011 Chevy Impala LT 3.5 liter. And it is having some issues. And my check engine light is also on. And I’m thinking it could be the throttle body because, every time when I would idle. Or come to a complete stop. You could hear the throttle rattling really loud. And you could also hear it when you are just cruising up a minor little hump. So idk if it’s the throttle. Or if it’s the transmission because my mother doesn’t like to keep maintenance on the car. So I’m thinking it could be the transmission because that kicks often but not all the time. But ever since the engine light came on. The transmission stopped kicking. And it’s just been lagging. So idk if it’s the Tran. Or if it’s the Throttle. I honestly think it’s both!

hello sir do you have to drain anything like coolant or no?

Can the p2113 7:06 sensor paddle stop the car from stating?

The best tip for reassembling the TB shaft & plate: push the blade closed when tightening the screws. Better yet, take a VERY thin sheet of something (thinner than paper) to shove in the top & bottom, that will shim the blade and center it since they're set to not touch the edges fully closed.

Thx 4 video, not much about this on net.. on mine the whole butterfly assembly was so stuck I literally used a rubber mallet to get it unstuck

Working on a 2000 C5 has all the codes you talked about. It idles really rough in REP mode. I looked inside the TB and it's clean. Checked all sensors and the TAC. Mash the gas and nothing. I don't know, it's a tough thing to figure out. Thanks for the video, I may pull the TB apart...

The slight open position without any power is actually a limp-home position (very limited power, controlled just by spark advance and injectors). Otherwise at idle or more the engine braking the ECU is actually closing it by applying power to the motor.

WTF?

I ported/polished a electronic throttle body for a 2008 Dodge Charger (2.7L); and put it back on; now it stalls on idle (while in gear) occasionally and throws a “high rpm in idle” code sometimes. Throttle response seems more sluggish NOT better. I am at a loss and confused.

I've got a 2002 Grand Prix gt and after changing out those infamous plastic elbows for the coolant with metal ones, my car eventually(a few days) seemed to be losing power, but was still driveable.... It starts and purrs like a kitten still, but the engine will not go beyond 3000 rpms and is in one gear...From the articles I've read, it's seems I've discovered gm's LIMP mode.... I did remove the throttle body to get to the one elbow....I didn't notice anything initially, but all this happened fast, as I blamed the limp mode on the PCS(pressure control solenoid), so just got done taking apart the transmission and putting in that sensor, which I"m sure you saw so many people stated fixed their problem.....But so far my car will still not go beyond 3000 rpms and seems to be stuck in one gear, which many have stated is the 'limp mode' to protect the car.. After watching your video, I'm wondering if I did something to the throttle body while cleaning it, without realizing it....I mean why do you think it was your fault? Did you force it to close a certain way? I'm not sure why you say it was your fault? thanks....

MUST have a little opening. Needs air and fuel.

What you use is carb cleaner or throttle body cleaner only. Throttle body cleaner is the best. And you don't take off the butterfly you just clean it up really good with cleaner and a brush. If you take off the butterfly you'll mess it up because it's set from the factory. And you might have to reprogram the computer. If you keep pushing the butterfly with your finger manually you're going to mess it up also you don't do that. You just do the best you can cleaning it the way it is The butterfly is set perfectly the way it is from the factory And replace the gasket always to a new gasket period and always let it dry before reinstalling. And then make sure the new gasket is seated properly period and you'll have a good clean throttle body that would work really well
