The engine then adds the appropriate amount of fuel for the incoming air, making your Mustang accelerate. Many Mustang owners upgrade their cold air intake to allow more air to enter the engine, but they may also neglect to upgrade the throttle body.
How does a GM throttle body relearn procedure?
A motor and gear reduction set inside the throttle body opens and closes the throttle plate to accomplish your request. Over time, carbon buildup can accumulate around the throttle plate, changing it’s “home” position. If the buildup occurs gradually, the PCM “learns” the new home position.

You don’t need to remove a throttle body to clean it. If you have a DBW throttle body, DO NOT MOVE THE THROTTLE PLATE MANUALLY TO CLEAN IT, especially with the key in the ON position. This will confuse the computer and it will have to be reset in order for the engine to start and run again.
Do you need to clean the throttle body?
Don’t remove the throttle body to clean it; you don’t need to. Cleaning your throttle body likely won’t do anything to solve an idle problem. It might make you feel better, but it might do little to solve an idle problem. If you have a DBW system, I would recommend leaving it alone, as you could cause more problems than you solve with a cleaning.
What causes Gunk in the intake and throttle bodies?
Blow-by is the combustion gases that leak past the piston rings; it’s what is mainly responsible for the buildup of gunk in your intake. The more worn your engine, the more blow-by you have. The more blow-by you have, the more gunk buildup in the intake and throttle body assembly.

Is there a way to reset the throttle body?
This method is almost foolproof as long as all ECU control parameters are within their normal ranges. Resetting The Throttle Body Calibration (this step is conditional) A Rough Idle or a SES can sometimes be caused by a change in the throttle body position sensor calibration.
Is the turbo 3.5L a top throttle body?
Fortunately for us and F150 owners the turbo 3.5L requires much more air flow than the Mustang V6, therefore our throttle body ends up producing a significant power increase over the stock part and is one of our top throttle bodies. What type of warranty is available on BBK throttle bodies?
