Narrow it by model year, engine and more
Causes the technical documents say how to deal with (1)
Throttle body carbon build-up: idle surge, reduced engine power, throttle DTCs (high mileage)
No matching record (stated by the technical documents)
As carbon builds up in the throttle body of a high-mileage vehicle, the ECM/PCM learns to compensate by increasing the throttle plate angle.
With enough carbon, idle surge, deceleration surge, tip-in hesitation, reduced engine power mode and/or DTCs may occur.
How to tell
What to do
- If SI diagnosis does not isolate the cause, inspect the throttle body bore and plate for obvious carbon build-up.
- If carbon is present, follow the Throttle Body Cleaning Procedure in SI.
- Depending on the vehicle, the idle learn reset/reset idle learn is normally found on the Tech 2 ECM menu for Module Set Up or Special Functions/TAC System.
- After ensuring that the throttle body bore and plate are clean, perform an idle learn reset/reset idle learn with the Tech 2/GDS and re-evaluate the concern.
