A faulty throttle body can lead to various symptoms that affect the overall performance of a vehicle. The throttle body is a crucial component in the air intake system, controlling the amount of air entering the engine. Here are some common symptoms of a faulty throttle body:
Reduced engine power.
Sluggish acceleration.
Hesitation or juddering during acceleration.
Unstable or erratic idle speeds.
Stalling at idle.
Stalling when coming to a stop.
Surging or bucking, most obvious at constant speeds.
Illumination of the Engine Management Light (ECM) and/or of the EPC light.
EOBD trouble codes relating to the throttle body (P0120, P0220).
TPS-related problems cause incorrect voltage signals to the engine control module (ECM).
Inconsistent or incorrect throttle position readings.
Vehicle entering "limp mode" to protect the engine from potential damage.
Limited performance and reduced power.
Decreased fuel efficiency due to improper air-fuel mixture.
Increased fuel consumption.

Is it just throttle body repair that you do?Not at all, not only do we repair throttle bodies, but we recondition them as well. Electronic or not. Take a look at our process below. POA. All our work comes with an unlimited mileage lifetime warranty
Our Process
Step 1 - The Testing
We conduct meticulous testing on your throttle body, diligently examining for any mechanical failures. Our comprehensive evaluation includes ensuring the smooth operation of the throttle position sensor, verifying the correct functioning of the motor, and confirming that breather pipes remain unobstructed. In cases where an idle air valve is present, a thorough examination and testing of its performance are also part of our protocol. All assessments are carried out under both cold and hot running conditions, providing a robust evaluation to identify and address potential failures at their root cause.
Step 2 - Strip and Clean
After pinpointing the underlying issue causing the failure, we initiate the disassembly process for your malfunctioning throttle body. Progressing through the disassembly, we conduct thorough inspections of additional components, ensuring a comprehensive review beyond the initial tests. As the throttle body is disassembled, we meticulously address any carbon buildup within the venturi chamber and breather pipes, employing a detailed cleaning process. Only once we are fully satisfied with the cleanliness and integrity of the components do we proceed to the next step in our comprehensive repair procedure
Step 3 - Repair and End-Of-Line Test
We meticulously rebuild your throttle body, incorporating new, upgraded components where necessary. This comprehensive refurbishment may involve the installation of new throttle position sensors (TPS), idle air valves (IAC), internal cogs, bearings, seals, and motors. Following the meticulous reconstruction process, we subject the throttle body to an End-of-Line test to guarantee its readiness for seamless integration back into your vehicle. This rigorous testing ensures that your throttle body is in optimal working condition and ready for reinstallation.
