JUST WHAT WE NEEDED...our Throttle body housing, went out on the freeway, going downhill, in the rain. THANK GOD, we were able to make it to a rest stop. Then to a motel. We bought the part, and changed it in less than 20mins, thanks to this video.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🥰
Small corrections - that's a speed density system - it does not use a MAF. What you are referring to as the MAF is actually the IAT sensor. The MAP sensor is on the intake near the power steering reservoir.
Thank you so much for your clear concise and easy-to-follow presentation. I am admittedly a moron when it comes to fixing vehicles and you made this so easy to understand! I hope you take that with a sincere amount of flattery that it was intended. Looking forward to giving this a shot I've been wanting to do this. Thank you again
You just saved me a $266 part and the labor they wanted to replace it. My 2009 Volkswagen Routan was almost exactly the same setup. At 91,000 miles the throttle did not want to open. When I took it off the back side looked like the enamel coated pots from childhood. A $7 bottle of throttle body cleaner and about twenty paper towels and Betsy is running like a champ again. Thank you for providing clear information and help. Do you have a charity your normally support? Someone should enjoy the $300 I saved and need to send along per Karma's normal SOP.

yall have saved me so much money with your videos on the dodge caravans...Thank you! my next project is to replace the throttle cable, mine is loose but there are no videos on a caravan...is changing the cable pretty generic in all vehicles or is it gonna be a dodge specific repair ?
Im a computer tech and dont know S**T about cars. TY so much for this video. I followed each step and my van stopped giving error codes and it started perfect. Would not even start without sputtering and the RPM and transmission not revving. TY again.
This is the first time in years that the first video in the Google search results was actually a good video. Usually, they are the worst possible video that Google could have possibly chosen. Thank you.
Question/help! I cleaned my throttle body awesomely thanks to your tips!...... But I ended up rotating the MAF sensor and not sure of the proper orientation to put for it.... I am assuming the raised arrow should meet with the intake hose? And the Notch should be even with the throttle body? Since it has a notch and also that raised bump to match with the hose???? Just making sure the maf is correct. Thanks in advance for any feedback!
I did this nice and clean, my van still runs like crap and misses when idling and driving. I cleaned the idle air control valve to and cleaned the mass air flow sensor, replaced the air filter. Replaced the plugs, wires, coil pack. Caravan still misses at idol and driving it hesitates and misses when shifting gears and accelerating. I feel like I could replace and clean everything and it would make no difference. All these videos are great to show you how to clean something but do they usually make a difference?
@@2carpros hey do i have to have the van re learn the idle and stuff after this.? I had a vehichle before had to disconnect some fuse for a few after i cleaned it to reset.. Is that necessary for 02 town and country? Im trying to help my friend fox her issues
@@justinfisher5175 u remove the fuse for the pcm for about 15 mins…I believe u turn the key to the on position while it’s out…then turn back off, replace the fuse and turn the key back on ….it’s ready to relearn
Hi, Thanks so much for the video, I will be doing this soon My 08 dodge caravan 3.8L V6 was shaking badly, I scanned and it said "cylinder 3 misfire". I changed all 6 plugs, plug wires and coil. It is no longer shaking but sometimes idles rough, the check engine light is on and it now says "cylinder 1 misfire", what should I do please? This goes to all out there and the experts, thanks
If this is for the yrs 01-2010 can I throw any throttle house on my 04 caravan, 2 part when I put on the A.C. it's a low cool but u can hear a loud screech outside the vehicle thanks🤙🤙🤙
In some vehicles it matters…to make the pcm relearn, take the fuse out for the pcm, cycle the key to the on position while it’s out…turn the key back off and replace the fuse after 15 mins…it’s ready to relearn
I just bought a 2010 grd caravan with ( 4.0L, ) while in park if i just rev the rpm up it takes a few second to come back down to idle. I dont seem to notice any drivability problems or warning lights. I am an old retired Tech/Mech. and this can not be right! thanks
No, in your video when you are reconnecting battery you said, touch and make sure there is no spark.. but then you didnt explain :) If you read this can you tell me where on the throttle body to look for the TPS, ill be doing this in the next few days, was hoping to find a TPS on amazon for the 2009 Caravan 3.3l 6v SE. I can only seem to locate TPS up to 2007 on amazon so far.. you know of any ? any links if you do would be appreciated.. an old video I know so I wont hold my breathe, but thanks in advance if you do reply.
Actually those are a funny story. My uncle was a doctor and when he retired he cleaned out his office and he let me have all the medical towels. Those are the same towels that is used in the operation room. Couldn't let them go to waste as they were no longer sterile and unfit for human use. Thanks for watching!

You don’t need a e11 you can use a 8mm racket wrench or just a regular wrench or a 5/16 shocket

Glad we could help! That is a fairly generic repair shouldn't be anything special about it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks your video helped 2000% saved me money time and not driveing my ex jeep
Great to hear!
Thanks a lot for this video. A socket 11/32 inch worked well with me so you can use it instead of E11 torx.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for your suggestion on using a 11/32 socket. I tried it and a 11/32 socket worked just fine
Inverted-torx😇
Thanks for this info! I'll hold off on buying a whole new set of sockets 😅
It's a good idea to clean the exterior of any part you service, so it's clear to the next guy, someone's been in there.
Great video, as always!!!!
Thank you! :)
Great video, but where is the AIC located? I googled AIC replacement for my dodge caravan...

Hi can you please make video on cleaning throttle body on Chrysler Town and county 2010 4.0L V6
Perfect video!
Hi,
Thanks so much for the video, I will be doing this soon
My 08 dodge caravan 3.8L V6 was shaking badly, I scanned and it said "cylinder 3 misfire". I changed all 6 plugs, plug wires and coil. It is no longer shaking but sometimes idles rough, the check engine light is on and it now says "cylinder 1 misfire", what should I do please? This goes to all out there and the experts, thanks
Did you ever find out what was wrong? I'm having the same issue with my van? Thanks
what a well done video amazing thank you !
You're very welcome!
If this is for the yrs 01-2010 can I throw any throttle house on my 04 caravan, 2 part when I put on the A.C. it's a low cool but u can hear a loud screech outside the vehicle thanks🤙🤙🤙
Hey!!! Isn't that truth that you should not to touch the little plate that is inside of the throttle body? Cuse the throttle body is electrical?
If the battery is plugged in. But we unplugged it. Thanks for watching!
In some vehicles it matters…to make the pcm relearn, take the fuse out for the pcm, cycle the key to the on position while it’s out…turn the key back off and replace the fuse after 15 mins…it’s ready to relearn
How does it recalibrate?
Excellent video, helps a lot. Thank you very much. :)
Glad to hear that!
Torque specification is 65 in-lbs . chilton book
Armando Sanchez what part is this specification for? Thank you!
Very helpful! Nice video!
Glad to hear that!
Question what is the symptoms of cleaning it?
Sluggish throttle or sometimes it will idle rough. Sometimes it even throws a throttle position code. Thanks for watching!
Could a dirty or potentially bad throttle body cause an 08 Dodge Caravan to not start?
Hi... thanks for the Video... one question! ... how did you fix the connector that feeds the the throttle body? Thanks again!
Thanks for watching! The electrical connector? You would need to solder on a new connector.
Would you please tell where to find it and whats the specific name of it? Im having a hard time finding it on internet...thanks
Would this resolve the unexpected acceleration of the car? It’s accelerating it’s own. Chrysler Town &Country 2010
Try this out and also look for a vacuum leak if it is surging. Thanks for watching!
I just bought a 2010 grd caravan with ( 4.0L, ) while in park if i just rev the rpm up it takes a few second to come back down to idle.
I dont seem to notice any drivability problems or warning lights. I am an old retired Tech/Mech. and this can not be right! thanks
I would definitely try a throttle body service. It’s free and solves a lot of problems!
@@2carpros the TB is super clean! i hoped it was dirty' but it looks great!
Awesome !!
You are!
Hey. Great video quality.
Was wondering why you didn't clean the filter housing and the flex tube connecting it to the throttle body?
Wasn't planned for this video. I usually do it when I change the filter material. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros to clean do you use the throttle body cleaner to
My 2003 Caravan 3.3 has a different style bolt set up on my throttle body
My 2004 Chrysler T&C 3.3L throttle body doesn't look anything like that! No throttle position sensor?
This video shows a 3.8L might be the same as the 4.0L as well not sure. I have the 3.8.
Where is the Throttle Position Sensor located? I just purchased the part and can’t figure out where it goes
On the side of the throttle body. Thanks for watching!
Where did you find the sensor? I was having trouble finding one to purchase. Autozone doesn’t have it.
I would change out the air filter while I was at it.
How do I bypass the rpm limiter when in park with a ram 1500 v6
Is this the same step for a 2017 too
Hey I just did this to my van and now the thing won't run. Do I need to do something else with it????????????
Make sure the throttle body is plugged in fully. Thanks for watching!
If i put a new throttle body in the van do i need to reprogramming ?
Armando Sanchez i need to know this ? U progtamming ur?
How to u have the van re learn the idle?? Disconnet a fuse for a few mins orrrr??? Plz respond someone
Wait... so what do you do if there is a spark?
Spark in the throttle body? How? Thanks for watching!
No, in your video when you are reconnecting battery you said, touch and make sure there is no spark.. but then you didnt explain :) If you read this can you tell me where on the throttle body to look for the TPS, ill be doing this in the next few days, was hoping to find a TPS on amazon for the 2009 Caravan 3.3l 6v SE.

I did this on my t&c and now the throttle body sensor doesn’t work
Came here to see a video about a throttle body. The bonus is that this guy sounds like Nicolas Cage.
That's a new one! I usually get the Daily Dose guy. Thanks for watching!
I was looking for a throttle body sensor..... COME ON MAN ! !
This is servicing the throttle body not changing the TPS. Thanks for watching!
where do you get those blue towels?
Actually those are a funny story. My uncle was a doctor and when he retired he cleaned out his office and he let me have all the medical towels. Those are the same towels that is used in the operation room. Couldn't let them go to waste as they were no longer sterile and unfit for human use. Thanks for watching!
@@2carproscan I use an old shirt to clean it
Engineers hate mechanics lol.
True though! Thanks for watching!
Where tf is the IAC????
MAF lmao
