2008 Dodge Charger Cleaning the Throttle Body, Gasket Replacement & Reset Procedure

[@njallta4333]

Great video man, I went to auto tech school and learned better with your video than I did in class!

Thanks

Great video. For me the electrical plugs are always the worst part. You covered everything in great detail thank you.

Heck of a good job bro. Just to let you know, if it is an electric throttle body, you can move the butterfly in it if it's off the vehicle. If you move that butterfly while it's on the vehicle then you have to reset it. Also, if the gasket is not damaged you can still use it. Also, you should unhook the negative battery cable first before you do anything.

[@NoneMechanic101]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

I learned the hard way with the negative battery being unhooked but that’s the process of practice makes perfect

[@chriscalderon2859]

So you don’t have to recalibrate it if you unbolt the throttle if it’s electric once you disconnect the negative charge.

[@fernandocazares5925]

What happens if you don't unplug the car battery before cleaning if throttle is on the car? How do you reset it?

[@ManicMechanic007]

Nice to know the calibration procedure now. Thank you!

[@NoneMechanic101]

ManicMechanic007, The car ran much better.

The car is running good.

Good shit! Just some advice this, this also works on Chryslers with 2.7s. Add that to the title so this video gets out. This is a very common issue ✌🏿

Thanks! I just had my throttle body serviced on my 08 Dodge Charger and I don’t think it was recalibrated so that lightning bolt light came on. I’m gonna try your method see if that works. I will update my comment if it works. Thanks again!

[@NoneMechanic101]

Please keep me informed. Thank you!

Gabby what happened?

[@fred_on_factorys404]

Just cleaned my throttle body check engine light on now Can I do relearn or I have to clear code first?

[@NoneMechanic101]

I would clear the code and then do the relearn

[@jamesrhodes2987]

Thanks Bro Good Job

[@NoneMechanic101]

You’re so very welcome

[@Iseekoutthetruth]

you need 1 of those magnetic bowls that you throw your bolts in so you don't lose them.

[@NoneMechanic101]

I have one. I always forget to use it.

[@fernandocazares5925]

Do you unplug the car battery before?

[@NoneMechanic101]

@@fernandocazares5925 If I remember correctly I believe I did

[@fernandocazares5925]

@NoneMechanic101 what happens if I cleaned it without unplugging and had someone step on the gas with the ignition key switched but engine not running? I get a click click noise after I did that

[@NoneMechanic101]

@@fernandocazares5925 For safety reasons. Don’t have anyone pressing the pedal while someone is working on it. They can get hurt.

Should it work for 2006 dodge charger 2.7l

[@NoneMechanic101]

I'm not sure. It did work for a 2008

[@alejandronegreteorozco8035]

Can I use the reset procedure for a 2010?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Sorry I’m not sure

[@249_cam]

Is it okay to clean the throttle body and not put a new gasket on . Say if it’s your only car and you forgot to get the gasket

[@NoneMechanic101]

I myself if removed the throttle I would replace the gasket.

[@iitwofatalshots2756]

Where is the idle air control valve on this vehicle?

[@NoneMechanic101]

I'm not sure. Sold the car

[@neilwilliams2947]

Don't you have to unhook the negative battery cable first?

[@NoneMechanic101]

Yes disconnect the negative battery cable first.

[@hunterspoint33]

Warning people those aftermarket throttle body’s they sale online like Amazon don’t work…. Had to go to the Dealer which is Dodge to buy the correct throttle body. $500 for the right throttle body. Amazon one cost me $80 did not work right.
