Honda Accord 2013 to 2017 Throttle body cleaning, Accord Low RPM or Stalls 

Thank you for the video. It was super helpful to see how you removed the air duct and cleaned the throttle body. My Honda Accord's throttle was sticking and car would start and immediately die. I followed your video and was able to clean the throttle and now my Accord is running great. Thanks again for the video and step by step procedure on taking off the air duct and the way to open the throttle without having to use a screwdriver. You saved me a ton of time and money!!!!!

Thanks bro,had this problem stalling in red lights👍👍🔥🔥

I have to comment because it worked well. Thank you very much. So, I thought about cleaning the throttle body because when I’ll be idling, my RPM would drop for a quick second from 800ish to 600ish. It drive good, started every time, but that has been going on for about 2 years. I cleaned it and now my RPMs don’t drop and no more vibrations. Thanks again sir 🤝🏽

GOD BLESS YOU R U SERIOUS you saved my life my accord ‘15 of 6 years has the same issue!

Thanks you show that ! From Canada

Boss, that actually fixed my issues I was having. After a 3 days the engine light appeared and had code P0507.

You r the man! Thanks!

Hello, guys. I performed the throttle body cleaning on my 2017 Honda Accord. I did get the high idle after wards and check engine light. I looked through the comments and tried out the disconnecting the battery method. I disconnected it and waiting around 10+ minutes just to be sure and It worked. No more high RPM idle, and no more check engine light. Wanted to post this comment and hopefully help someone with that concern. Ty

nice straight to the point.

It worked, thanx! I'm shocked.

Good to know you don't have to take out the throttle body itself.

I did this same exact job on my 2013 accord sport the check engine and few other lights came on , so I was told it was throttle body, in my opinion it would be better to remove the entire unit in order to clean it on both sides the reason is the opposite side is also full of grimy stuff also after you complete the job you need to reset the idle of the car by disconnecting the battery and let the car run for 10 to 20 minutes or until is warm and it will reset itself again.

HeY RB, would you happen to know what normal ODBII readings are for fuel rail pressure is on this accord at idle? I'm getting something like 500kpa. Also I'm experiencing this same issue and I've replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, negative battery cable with the sensor, the MAF sensor, and air filter.

I got that same flashlight 😂 green with magnetic bottom and spins. I forgot so many of them under cars when I was a mechanic 😢

Have the 2013 version 4 cylinder and when ever is sit and idle for a while I'm park it stalls on me or right when I start it stalls. I've changed mass air flow and a new fuel pump and it stall again. And it take a good 10 min before engine to start again any thoughts thanks

How about for hybrids? How can I keep the valve open, in natural I don’t think it would be open, any ideas?

I did every step and cleaned the throttle body now I’m getting a purge valve code engine reading now. Any suggestions?

Im bout to work on my gf throttle body it got stuck stuck hopefully all goes well tomorrow

I have a 2014 Honda accord, it recently gave up on me, when I I put it in any gear (drive, reverse, sport) and I press the gas it only revs, could this be a fix for it or something major?

Thank you I just used this video to clean my throttle body. I couldnt get the that rubber tube back on from the bottom end all the way like it was originally. I did tighten the bolts however. Hopefully it doesn’t come off. Do you have a video showing us how to clean the fuel injector on a 2017 honda accord?

Thanks for the upload. I tried this method and now my 2014 Honda Accord starts with no problem. However, power steering light, stability light and engine light came on. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Sometimes my 2017 accord will start and then die immediately and then when I start it again it runs fine. Could this be the throttle body like in your video? I don’t have a check engine light either. Thank you!

Any idea why my honda accord 2013 wont rev past 4000 rpm? Would it be related to the throttle body? Car is giving p0420 code low efficiency bank 1 catalytic converter

Yo I did the steps then I turn my car on the check engine light came on,I took it to autozone it gaved me the code P0507 Idle Air control system higher then expected,Car jerks once in a while when ever I turn it on and drive off I turn the car off and on and goes back to normal is been 3 days and keep having the same problem you think I should Wait or go to a mechanic for help?

I have a nissan sentra 2010, when i turn it on and i put it in reverse or forward it Start blowing a lot Blue smoke, and when i move it, it shakes and jump very very hard, all the sparkplugs are covered with oil, that means it need a new engine? Is the engine all messed Up? I Would like to hear your opinión thanks

This is the first step to change the high pressure fuel pump for P0087 code. Take the air duct and the throttle off to reach the bolts.

Do you have a solution for the opposite? Meaning the car idling high when come to a red light stop.

yo bro , i got no codes, car was fine , did valve cover and replaced timing tensioner . battery sensor was loose also and now its fixed. but now when i cold start when i accerlate it dont move like it should high RPM moves slowly. sometimes i cold start it and it moves faster and sometimes it does it perfect. cvt fluid looks level and good . could this be a throttle body issue also?

How about the opposite high idle like 1400 and obd code p0507? Cleaned the and maf and still the same

I enjoy your videos. Question, does these engines have a problem with vibration? I have a 2017 Accord 4 cyl and it vibrates in drive/reverse and while holding the brake. I checked and all motor mounts are good and it idles perfect.

I have ‘15 accord and code p0120 circuit A low. Will cleaning throttle fix this issue? Thanks

Hey I just followed your steps exactly on my uncles accord and I had CEL after. Didn’t have scan tool so I disconnected negative terminal for 15 minutes. Turned it on and CEL went away, but car felt a bit rough. Let it idle for idle relearn for 10min, still I can hear the vehicle get rough at different moments and idle goes up maybe 50/100 rpm when it gets rough, nothing crazy. Went to go get a scan tool to check and I got permanent codes P0102 (MAF SENSOR VOLTAGE LOW) and P0113 (IAT SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE). Thinking that it’s the MAF Sensor I decided to take it out and clean it with MAF Sensor cleaner. I let it dry 30 minutes, installed back, turned the vehicle on and vehicle steady rpm at 750. I let it idle again 10 minutes and I can hear it get rough here and there, except this time no rpm spike of 50/100, it stays at 750 (I’m thinking the cleaning helped?). I decided to check the scan tool and still the same permanent codes. When I went to get the scan tool I drove 5 miles and when I was coming to a stop I could see and feel the rpm spike 100/200 and then go back down as I came to a complete stop. Didn’t happen every time but I did notice that as well. Also want to mention everytime I would see the code I would clear it and it would say successfully cleared, but then it would still be there under permanent even if I don’t have CEL Would do you recommend I do to remove those codes permanently? Do I need to just drive like I normally do and let the system readjust? Or are these actual permanent codes that won’t go away with cheap scan tools and I need a good scan tool to remove? Or am I screwed and there’s no cheap fix?

Hi, I have two questions: why not to remove throttle body and clean completely? When I cleaned mine using your way it was dirty deeper but fingers do not reach that far. 2. I still have low RPM around 560 but not all the time, about 30% of the time when on "D" and stopped on red light. The rest of the time holds 710-740rpms. When transmission is on "P" never had low rpm. I checked for codes and give me P0102 and P0340. I replaced one (there is two) camshaft position sensor but still getting low rpm. Last time when dash board lights up like Christmas tree I get same codes plus P0141. It's been two days only since I replaced the sensor so no check engine so far. I Also clean MAF and tried different one. So MAF is good. Unfortunately low RPM are still there once in a while not all the time. Any idea where to look for? (2013 Accord Coupe 2.4)

My accord '15 sometimes feels like losing power (jerking) when accelerating slow. I changed the MAF sensor but still the same. Do you think it could be the throttle body issue?

what if I press the gas and my car does not move. the engine does not even rev but the car is on and cracked. I put my Honda in reverse and it started to go than just stopped.

my car won’t go past 10 mph and the rpms won’t go past 3 i have a 2015 honda accord with like 100k miles on it the car was running perfectly fine before until my check engine light came on and the car stopped going past 10 i checked every fuse in both fuse boxes i don’t really know what’s going on

Hi! Thanks for help. What kind of cleaner you use for cleaning throttle?

Great.... Is there any site to get wiring diagrams for any car?

My car hesitates when I turn the ignition switch. It failed to start the other day, I got it to start after a 2nd attempt. Could this be the issue?

I check my 2015 Honda Accord exhaust pipe i see carbon what should i do to clean the carbon ?

Después de limpiar el throttle tengo los códigos P0123 y P0223. Que debo hacer para resolver eso?

Good idea to use cloth rather than paper that would tear up and clog, and to spray on it rather than direct on carb. Thank you.

Hi, my car stalls when cold start backing out from the garage. Could this be the cause?

Dont you have to go for the honda idle learn procedure method???

I just cleaned my throttle body and the car stalls now. I unplugged the battery for 10 mins. And still the same, the car still stalls. It starts and stalls right away. What should I do now? People say it can relearn by itself. But how?

I have a 2015 Honda accord and it has hesitation at take off and the rpm goes up and down when I'm at a stop light. I've replace throttle body, catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, and there is no existing codes at this time.

It's carbon build up on the intake valves messing up the airflow due to the GDI engines. It will get worse over the years. It's good to start cleaning it with solutions specific for GDI engines.

Question do I need to unplug the ground on the batter before I unplug the mass air sensor to clean it or if I do the co2 sensor

Yo yo bro i just cleaned mine. Light came on how do I restart?

What’s the name of the tool to loosening the clamps?

I clean the throttle body and now the car is at high rpm.. how can I make it into normal ?

I did it but my car still has a high rpm I reset the computer and still the same can you help ?

💯💯💯💯💯

Can a j serious engine fit the 2014 accord sport

Do you have a video on how to clean the 2014 Honda Accord fuel injector

Compa make a video how to reprogram w/ and without scanner

Hello, can you send the link of the cleaning tissue

Hey bro my check engine light came on when I was done now car feels like it's jerking when letting off the gas. Is this normal because now it's clean?? I did exactly as you did.

It would've been better 2 take out the air filter & cover first.

Bro how do I reset the rpm? It is now at 1.3K It was around 700 rpm before cleaning my throttle body

So do I need to buy a scanner just in case?

Yo G what can I do if my throttle don’t close all the way?

Yo what happens when your engine light come out after this process.?

Hey bro my check engine light came on and I went to check it and the iat ( intake air temperature ) and MAF Sensor codes came up. I called Honda dealer to order the iat and they couldn’t help me because I didn’t know where on the engine that sensor is located. Do you probably know what other name it can be or what else it can be?

Thank god I don’t have to drop 200+ dollars on a new actuator.

The best way to clean a throttle body is to remove it completely and clean both sides, this way they show us un the video is not good, because residue remains on the inside of the throttle body, and later you will have problems, that happened to me once. This gen of Accord sucks, because it has it's thottle body in the back, the 8th gen y much beter, y has it in the front, that makes it way easier tu take it out. Note: When removing the entire throttle body, some models, not all, have to be reprogrammed with a computer.

Can't get it to open

How much is it for a service like this ?

Interrior looks like farm

Where is your shop located RB ?

bouncing rpms while accelerating. 2013 honda accord v6

Cold I just take off the throttle body and spray cleaner and dry it before installing it back

Where’s the fuel injectors located

Hello, you need a programming job

Makes no difference unless it is brand-new again 😆
