Thank you for the great instructions! I have an Equinox with 135K KM's on it, bought it at 65K KM. Recently noticed it would have a rough idle when the engine was warmed up and a friend recommended I clean the throttle body. He said best results would be from removing it and cleaning it but not many people on RU-vid showed how to do it. Yours was the first that came up. Thank you once again! I will attempt this when the weather gets warmer.

Well I am very happy to hear that you found this video. I agree with your friend...definitely give the throttle body a cleaning. It's a very common problem on many newer cars. Hopefully it works out and it's not another issue. But either way, you should see some improvements with the cleaning!

Great video! Also, like most E- throttles, if you do accidently force the butterfly when it is connected to the car with the battery plugged in, you can unplug the battery for about ten seconds or drain the power by turning the key on and off. Next, hook neg lead back up on the battery, turn the key to the on position, wait for the system to boot up with luminating lights and press the foot pedal to the floor 3-5 times or so, then turn the key back to the off position. After, you should be able to start the car and it should run with no problem as the ECU relearned its restored functions.

2016 Equinox, hesitating when accelerating, "reduced engine power" and check engine light. Local place checked it out, reset codes and said come back if it happens again. After much research I settled on the cleaning of the throttle body for a potential remedy. Your video helped this 56 yr old female complete this task. Thank you!!

Hello great video.. I have a equinox 2011 Lt v6 one question when I’m in park my rpms rev on there own then when I drive I let go of the gas and rpms stay between 1500-2000 rpm for a couple seconds then goes down then when braking the rpms fluctuate a little I cleaned the throttle and map sensor.. would it be best to change the whole throttle? Thank you 🙏
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto Год назад
Thanks! For your question, it's possible that you may need to replace the throttle body, but there could be other things too. Unfortunately, many things can cause the RPMs to surge like that, including needing a throttle relearn, misfire, vacuum leak, throttle body or MAP sensor wiring issue, and more. Do you have a check engine light, by chance? If not, you can try the throttle, but there's no guarantee.

There's another video about doing this job and he said it triggered a check engine light and he had to replace his throttle body. What do u think?
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto 2 года назад
Doing a throttle body cleaning always has the potential to trigger a check engine, but I never heard of having to replace a throttle body because of a cleaning. The sounds like something else may have been in play, but I could not say for sure. Most times, if a CE light is triggered, it is because the cleaned throttle body either confuses the car and it can run too rich or lean. That being said, I have done tons of cleanings of throttle bodies on all car types (American, Japanese, Korean, German cars of many makes) and never once got a CE. It is possible, but if done right, it would be rare.

lol i guess my 2014 has low miles to at 36k mines clean but it has like green stuff on it like an old penny and looks like some kind of dried up adhesive where the air intake seats on the throttle body for some reason and its like cement and brake clean isnt doing anything to it
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto 2 года назад
Whoa...36k is low for a 2014. Awesome! Hmmm...not sure about the green stuff. I've done a lot of throttle cleanings, and never came across what you're talking about. My only though for the green color is that it could be some discoloration because of the brass, but that normally happens when there is some sort of water or moisture exposure. Not common at all, but possible. The adhesive, I'm not sure about either. Are you the first owner for this car? If not, I am wondering if the previous owner did some service before. If you are the first owner, I'm at a bit of a loss.

Is it absolutely needed to use a torque wrench? What could happen if I didn’t use a torque wrench? Thanks a bunch for the video and information!
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto 11 месяцев назад
No problem at all. Officially, I can only recommend using a torque wrench. That is the only true way to ensure it's done correctly. Unofficially, it can be done without, but there is potential consequences. On older cars, if you were off by a few ft/lbs, it honestly didn't matter all that much. Cars these days are built to much finer tolerances, so there can be issues. If you overtighten a bolt, you can strip it or damage the throttle body itself. If you don't tighten it enough, you can have a potential vacuum leak and have a rough idle. If you're good at mechanical work, you can always go without the torque wrench, but it's at your own discretion.

@@NexusAuto Okay sounds good. Hey I really appreciate the detailed response! Your videos are great man you really go into detail and show a lot of the things most other videos leave out. I have a 2019 Chevy Equinox LS with the 1.5L. Do you know if the torque specifications for the throttle body on my vehicle are the same as they are for the vehicle in your video? Thanks again for the help!

@dean7416 thanks! I really appreciate that! Happy to hear the videos help out. I couldn't confirm for the 2019 equinox 1.5L, but I found specs for the Malibu 1.5L, and the torque specs were the same (89 inch/lbs). I assume it's the same for the equinox, but couldn't confirm this for sure!

For sure, whatever works best for you. I used a ratchet and found that easier, but nothing wrong with using a flat head.

Was this the first time the throttle body was cleaned on this vehicle? I'm asking because I have a 2019 Equinox and it has about 34,000km and wondering if I need to get this done.
@NexusAuto
@NexusAuto 2 года назад
Yes it was the first time. At 34k you should be ok, but it also depends on how you drive 34k highway driving or highway city mix is much different to city stop and go driving or very short trips. But if the car feels off, doesn't harm anything to try
@copdick
@copdick 2 года назад
Ok, thanks for the information. I'm not having any issues, but Chevy recommends getting it cleaned about every 32,000km. I think I'll hold off for a little while. Thanks again for your help.
