Can You rebuild both sides of a throttle actuator?
Always replace both sides at the same time. Electronic Components failure is most common, Its important that buyers are aware that when purchasing the gear kits, its strongly recommended that a full rebuild by us is carried out as kits do not fix units that has a fault.
How much does it cost to replace a throttle body?
Regular maintenance can effectively prolong the life of the parts of the throttle body and you may not require a replacement for a long time. However, when the fixing of the problem requires a replacement, you will have to pay on average anywhere between $430 and as much as $550 for the parts only for most vehicles.
Where is the throttle body located in a car?
Typically, in most vehicles, the throttle body can be found in between the intake manifold and the air filter or air cleaner of the engine system. Usually, the aluminum is used for the making of the throttle body. The location of the throttle body can be a little different for different vehicles.
How is the throttle body connected to the PCM?
The throttle body is linked with a throttle body position sensor which collects information regarding the amount of air entering the intake. The sensor then transfers this information to the PCM which decides how much fuel should be mixed for an effective combustion process.
Where is the throttle actuator control system located?
The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) system uses 2 Throttle Position (TPS) sensors to monitor the throttle position. The TP sensors 1 and 2 are located within the throttle body assembly. Each sensor has the following circuits: A 5-volt reference circuit. A low reference circuit.
How much does it cost to replace throttle actuator?
The system controls the air-fuel mixture that goes into the engine. Then, how much does it cost to replace a throttle actuator control system? The average cost for a throttle body replacement is between $577 and $691. Labor costs are estimated between $92 and $117 while parts are priced between $485 and $574.
What should I do after replacing my throttle body?
After replacing the throttle body to your engine, if the engine light was on and has a pending code, the code will go away. If the code was a hard permanent code, then the ECM (computer) would need a hard reset. Remove the negative battery cable (-) and keep it off for about 13 minutes, then hook up the battery cable and make sure it is tight.
How does the electronically control throttle body work?
This is a video on how the electronically control throttle body works. Also, some of the common parts that fail and how they fail. A DC motor drives a toothed plastic gear, that in turn drives the throttle plate gear. A potentiometer sits on the throttle gear and returns signals to the computer through the sweeps on TB cover.
