Why do I have a trouble code on my throttle?
Most often the cause of this code is either the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) which is an integral part of the throttle body or the TPPS (Throttle Pedal Position Sensor) which is part of the throttle pedal assembly at your feet.
Can a bad throttle body cause strange fuel mixture?
If your car feels like it lost half of its power when accelerating, it can absolutely be caused by a bad throttle body. You already know that a bad throttle body will cause a strange fuel mixture.
When do you know you have a bad throttle body?
If you notice that your car has a very uneven acceleration – sometimes it is fast and sometimes slow, you might have a bad throttle body. Misfires occur either when the air-fuel mixture is very wrong or when it comes to a weak spark from the spark plug.
Is the throttle body dependent on other parts?
This is carried out electronically in electronic fuel injection engine systems. In most vehicles, there is only one throttle body, with a rare exception of special, larger vehicles. The function of the throttle body is also dependent on other parts, such as the air filter.
What happens when you replace the throttle body?
If you replace the throttle body, the PCM won’t know and will continue to use the adaptive settings as if the carbon buildup is still in place. If you don’t do a relearn procedure, the PCM will “hunt” for a new baseline idle.
How to do throttle body re-Learn Chevy Malibu?
1) Start the engine and let it idle in park for 3 minutes. During that period the idle may be higher idle than normal. 2) After 3 minutes, turn the engine off and leave it off for 60- seconds. 3) Start the engine again and let it idle in park for 3 minutes one more time. During these run periods you may see a check engine light.
How long does it take for GM throttle body to relearn?
If you don’t do a relearn procedure, the PCM will “hunt” for a new baseline idle. It will eventually learn it on its own, but it may take over a week of driving, during which time you will experience high and low idle speeds and possibly rough idle. 1) Start the engine and let it idle in park for 3 minutes.

What causes the p2119 OBD-II trouble code?
What causes the P2119 code? Most often the cause of this code is either the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) which is an integral part of the throttle body or the TPPS (Throttle Pedal Position Sensor) which is part of the throttle pedal assembly at your feet. These components are part of the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System).
What does p2119 mean on throttle actuator control?
P2119 code definition Throttle Actuator Control Throttle Body Range/Performance What the P2119 code means This code indicates that the throttle valve is not in the position the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) expects it to be in.
What to do if your throttle body goes out?
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. The engine light will go out and clear all codes as it goes into a learn cycle.
What does the p1283 Nissan sensor code mean?
P1283 NISSAN Meaning The A/F sensor is a planar dual-cell limit current sensor. The sensor element of the A/F sensor is the combination of a Nernst concentration cell (sensor cell) with an oxygen-pump cell, which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
What does Service Bulletin OBDII code p1283 mean?
Nissan Service Bulletin OBDII Code P1283 There is a factory service bulletin for the following Nissan models: 2004 Maxima (A34) with 5 speed A/T only 2004 Quest (V42) with 5 speed A/T only Nissan Factory Service Bulletin OBDII Code P1283 2004 Maxima (A34) with 4-speed A/T and 6-speed M/T 2004 Quest (V42) with 4-speed A/T

The engine light will go out and clear all codes as it goes into a learn cycle.
How is the gas pedal connected to the throttle body?
In those vehicles, the “gas” pedal isn’t connected to the throttle body by a cable. The pedal simply provides an electronic signal, telling the throttle body how much acceleration you’re requesting. A motor and gear reduction set inside the throttle body opens and closes the throttle plate to accomplish your request.
What does a p0122 code on a throttle position sensor mean?
A P0122 code means that the the vehicle’s computer has detected that the TPS (throttle position sensor) “A” is reporting too low a voltage. On some vehicles that lower limit is 0.17 – 0.20 volts (V). In simple terms, the throttle position sensor is used to determine what position the throttle is at. Did you adjust it…
How to check for OBD-II trouble code?
The first step is to check for codes with a scanner and confirm the problem still exists. This is accomplished by clearing the code then test driving the vehicle. Primarily a mechanic will use a scan tool to monitor the data from two sensors: the TPS and the TPPS.

What does it mean when throttle body does not connect?
The car will turn over. But I have no acceleration and after awhile the engine starts to shake. When the throttle body is connected the OBD meter will not connect, it says error. When disconnected the OBD meter works and says error codes P0123 and P0222.
What causes a misfire on the throttle body?
Misfires are easiest recognized as small bumps when you are revving the engine. The throttle body controls the engine’s idle to make sure it is always holding a steady RPM. If there is a problem with the throttle body, it may cause the be way too high.
Can a car start with a throttle body Unplugged?
Obviously with false throttle body codes but with throttle body unplugged, that is the only way the vehicle will start. While it is running you can plug it back in and will stay running but it still has almost no throttle response from pedal. Still diagnosing the problem but have already replaced throttle body and harness with no success.
Most often the cause of this code is either the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) which is an integral part of the throttle body or the TPPS (Throttle Pedal Position Sensor) which is part of the throttle pedal assembly at your feet.
What does the p2119 code on the throttle mean?
What the P2119 code means. This code indicates that the throttle valve is not in the position the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) expects it to be in.
Where can I find the GM diagnostic trouble code?
Follow scan tool manufacturer’s operating instructions to access the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s). Remember, these are manufacturer specific codes only. Refer to our Generic OBD II code list for definitions on all other GM diagnostic trouble codes. Manufacturer Specific Codes P1031HO2S Heater Current Monitor Control Circuit Sensors 1
What happens if the throttle valve is not moving?
A common mistake made is the failure to check if the throttle valve is actually moving. Internal components in the throttle body can break. If this occurs, it is possible the TPS will indicate the throttle valve is moving, but the valve won’t actually be moving. Electrical connector issues are common on all vehicles and all systems.
