Throttle body problem? Maybe? HELP
I have an 09 v6 5speed with an SCT flash tuner... lately when I change the tune, I have problems. When I'm driving, if I am to put the car in neutral while still rolling, the RPMs will jump rapidly from 1k to 3k continuously... until you push the clutch in. I sent the tuner back, had it retuned, and still contiunes to do it (even in the stock mode), meaning it's my car and not the tuner. After a couple days of driving it, it will stop, until you change the tune... cleaned the trottle body today, no luck. Any suggestions???
Thanks! |
I see in your list:
"BBK Throttle Body" I think that answers your problem. A lot of people who have tried those have had the same problems you are describing. |
really? so maybe i should reinstall the stock throttle body...
its just so odd to me that it only does it only certain circumstances |
That's what I would do - put the stock throttle body back on and see if the problem returns. My guess is that you won't see it again. If you do a search on the BBK throttle body you will find a lot of threads where people describe the same symptoms as you did.

I would clean the MAF sensor while you're at it, you can get the cleaner at any autozone. And a few people have traced weird idle issues back to a dirty MAF sensor so it's worth a try.
I think brenspeed has a video tutorial on how to clean the MAF sensor on their website so you might want to check that out too. |
Alright ill try both those things and check back in, thanks guys

Try one at a time - that way you know which was the cause. If you do both (return to stock throttle body and clean the MAF) you won't know what fixed it.
I would do the throttle body first since the BBK is known to cause problems. |
Will do

Remove the TB spacer, PLEASE!
Replace the BBK TB with the OE TB. Who is writing your tunes? Are they the canned tunes from SCT? Ughhhhh. |
Have you properly reset your car's ECU since installing the throttle bodies. I made that mistake, and after resetting the ECU the car idled like brand new, no more surging.
