      Hi and thanks for watching! Congrats on the successful repair, cleaning the throttle body and MAP sensor is definitely worth the try before replacing them.

    Pro Mechanic here, I had a 2011 Prius that was bad enough to not accelerate at all (during gas engine time) and stalling. Percentage at pedal was fine (live scanner data) and at t-body erratic or none. No Codes!!

    I'm having this problem with my car when Im at a full stop at a traffic light and just letting my car idle out my steering wheel will shake and the car its self would shake and jerk, and all of a sudden when I accelerate my steering wheel would stop shaking, and my car would jerk or feels like it is going to die out even burbles coming out from my muffler, but when I fully step in gas pedal the car would run normal when I accelerate fast.

    I have the EPC and check engine errors, the car won't start anymore, I was driving in the highway and suddenly it stopped. One of the symptoms is a high fuel consumption (skoda fabia). I'm not sure now if the problem is mechanic, or electric. I've already cleaned the throttle body, but it won't start also i have new plugs. Can you guide me please on the possible issue, i'm thinking it's electrical.
    Thanks in advance.

    Very helpful video, I just bought an '86 Toyota MR2 Mk1a and after my first highway drive the engine sounds very rough, the car stalls when coming to a stop, and idles at about 600rpm, would the throttle body be a culprit?

    My 2006 Chevy Malibu starts good, idles good (800-1000RPM) drives good through first gear and second. The moment i mash it to the floor or even try going uphill or getting on the highway it loses power and bounces at 3-4krpm making it shift harder. The check engine light will come on for a couple seconds and then it shuts off (no check engine light on currently so i cant run the code)

    Would a bad throttle body cause the revs to be much higher? I hardly press the accelerator and it goes up high

    • @DespairRepair
      @DespairRepair  3 місяці тому

      Hi, and thanks for watching! It could be that or the gas pedal (if it's an electronic one) but it can also be other things.
      But usually, in the case of the throttle body, it does not cause very high revs but unstable revving.

    • @touki7899

    i also have fabia, and it went complete to shits, it barely keeps up idle after i did throttle adaptation, it has almost 0 reaction to gas. i changed almost everything except throttle body, because it adapts ok, and a can read the throttle position sensors fine (but they are the same, not oposite of each other)

      Hi and thanks for watching! It could be numerous things besides the throttle body.
      Usually, when the throttle body is faulty, the car goes into limp mode and completely loses power.
      That was the case on my Skoda, besides limp mode three dashboard warning lights came up at the same time..
      There's a video about the whole problem on our channel.
