2012 Dodge Grand Caravan throttle body replacement part 2

[@michelleconner9568]

Thank you so much for making this video. My 2012 Town & Country is identical under the hood to your dodge. I followed your videos and had my van back on the road in no time. You are awesome!!! I am so thankful people are willing to share knowledge so readily with others on you tube. You saved me time and money. :)

[@raybishop85]

You are welcome. If you have any other questions i will do my best to answer them quickly.

[@haldeos1]

After replace, how do you reset? Thank you!

[@spikey9azn6]

Did you meed to reset or relearn it. And what made you replace yours

[@dennismichael4012]

I am having issues with my13 TnC and I think it maybe the throttle body. I will lose power driving down the road it's like I don't have any peddle and van slowly speeds up it's weird

[@shanearchy2055]

Thanks for the vid I just completed the job and after a reset,20sec pedel depressed position,she fired up all lights off. The kids in the background of your video helped make it possible.

[@raybishop85]

Shane Mcpherson Thank you for watching. Let me know if you would like me to post more like this.

[@haldeos1]

Can you please give steps on the (20 second) reset

[@RogerCulbersonMedia]

I used this video as a guide to CLEAN my throttle body. Now it's idling smooth again. Thanks for the breakdown

[@erikrodriguez775]

Was your van dying when you stopped at a red light or stop sign?

[@RogerCulbersonMedia]

@@erikrodriguez775 yes it was. I would slow down after speeds of 35mph or more and the van would stall. It was very dangerous.

[@erikrodriguez775]

@@RogerCulbersonMedia mine has been having this issue. It started slow when I changed the air filter. I took it to a mechanic to diagnose. First MAP sensor was replaced. Then the vaccum booster for power brakes and the booster itself. Went to a second shop still with issue and they say it's my transmission. I'm also noticing when I'm at idle it's the only time doing this. At stop light or when braking. I'm ordering the part today. It's less than $100 hopefully this can solve it. It's a nice van and we need it.

[@RogerCulbersonMedia]

@@erikrodriguez775 I also have transmission issues. The 62te transmission has some known issues. I did fluid and filter change and recently replaced the bushing on the shift shaft

[@carbonbomb4774]

​@RogerCulbersonMedia it had? It is known 😅😂

[@vhtvanhalentribute7860]

I was stumped on removing the air intake snorkel that connects to the throttle body. Thanks for the awesome vid!

Fantastic help. Just changed mine out in about 40 min. Great video.

[@corygoulette2303]

I cleaned mine and it looked 3 times worse then yours , cleaned up like new and and problem fixed ! Check engine light went off on its own

[@raybishop85]

That’s great! I was always told to stay away from cleaning the electric ones, but I’m happy to hear it worked for you!

[@denniscorse3049]

@@vacuumboy6.0 They tell you that so they can sell you a rebuilt one for 200+ bucks.

[@bigguy2144]

I certainly don't see any harm in trying to clean it instead of replacing provided you know a replacement is available nearby so you don't end up stranding yourself. It's the route I'd take anyway.

[@dennisblackwell9335]

thanks for the video. Now I just have to narrow down the issue. I have a 2013 town and country van. The engine will turn over but only starts sporadically. I took it to a shop. They said it was a bad battery. Replaced the battery but it did not solve the problem. I took it to auto zone. It coded out with a bad throttle body sensor and a bad throttle pedal position sensor. Is there a way to determine which one is causing the issue? Any help would be appreciated.

[@Oden-Heinrich]

Lol. You're pushing on your new throttle body.. That's brilliant

[@freecycling6687]

Is there any relearn procedure that has to be run after replacing the throttle body?

[@danielikeda8824]

Hello, how do you reprogram the throttle body when you replace it?

[@Tom-hf4jb]

My 2012 dodge caravan throttle light is on, this video gives me confidence to replace a new throttle by my self. The question is where can i find a new throttle for my 2012 caravan 😂

[@Flameruler4]

Amazon? I just bought one for my 2011. Brand new.

[@ELTARASCO90744]

Anyone knows what the part #? Good video by the way I had no idea where was the throttle body been wanting to clean it before it starts failing (preventive maintenance)

[@samiaholmes2937]

I have the same van, this warning light comes sometimes. When I shut the van off and restart it it doesn’t come until you drive for a period of time then once the can is shut off the light goes off. I’m not sure if this means it needs replaced?

[@seandelahunty7212]

Great video. I replaced the throttle body easily. Initially started right up afterwards then my son turned it off after 20 seconds or so and tried to restart and it will not restart. Took it apart and tried again and still will not start. Also, one of the screws that attaches the throttle body seems stripped. Any suggestions?

[@zuccyzuccytenbuccy546]

I lost that little tab that holds that fucking box to the throttle body. I’ve been looking for a part number to replace it and I’ve almost given the fuck up.

[@brianhyland9597]

Great video thank you saved me a ton of time. Car won't start now though. Is there a was to make the car learn the new part?

[@i10east76]

Great video sir! I have a dodge journey 3.6 which engine bay looks similar Im having problems removing the tube next to the TB. How did you remove that one pin that holds the plastic housing next to the throttle body?

[@willwerkheiser6435]

Kinda new to self maintenance, looking everywhere for the TPS location, seems like it would be on the throttle body but I'm just not seeing it, any help would be great

[@pinkypink7876]

My van has power but doesnt do the 4 dings and wont start.. New battery and terminals. Idk whats wrong with it

[@segaoldschoolsega925]

My 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan stow n go turns off and turns back on but in the process all the lights come on Would replacing that unit help this problem go away

[@geoffreyssebagala7790]

Have the same car but it won’t start and that same light comes on. Do you think replacing that will get it to start?

[@raybishop85]

Geoffrey Ssebagala Great question and the answer is only a maybe. This van also has another problem that you might need to get checked out if your isn’t starting at all. The fuel pump relay is soldered directly into the TIPM, which is the totality inter graded power module. To replace the whole TIPM isn’t cheap. So if you solder in a new relay please be really careful. Or you want I can make a video of what I did to bypass the issue.

[@geoffreyssebagala7790]

Please don't clean them 🤣 I've clean dozens of these for customers to save them money and never once had a return customer for the same problem yes the TPS on them can go bad but it's rarely a problem of them going bad on a Chrysler 95% of the time it's just carbon build up that puts the code on the dash

Would having this problem make it overheat?

No. This issue would make it not start or run bad. If your issue is over heating then it is either your hoses, thermostat, radiator, or water pump.
