I am so glad their is guys like you Omar, to help people to fix stuff. Man it helps alot, THANK YOU.

[@jamesaustindyer6596]

Just got done replacing mine. 53 yr old female, money is tight. Thank you so much, took me about 3 hrs, with some breaks, 93 degrees out and I have spinal chord damage. Couldn't have done it without you..you rock

[@OmarsGarage]

Glad I could save you some money. That’s the driving force behind my videoed I am technically handicapped. I ruptured two discs in my back about 20 years ago and had back surgery so I could walk again. No feeling in my right leg and I can’t lift more than 20 pounds. I’ve learned to modified ways of doing things like lifting up the tire with my feet in order to mount it back on the car. Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. 👍

@@OmarsGarage sounds like me, had a tumor removed inside my spinal chord, went in not walking came out walking. But I was determined and thanks to your video I did it

[@lilyrho]

So. I'm a female in her 30's. And thanks to your video. I replaced mine after the shop quoting me under $1,300. All thanks to your video.

[@OmarsGarage]

That’s great, glad I could help. My daughters help me out on my cars all the time. It’s never to early to start learning how to work on your own cars. 👍

[@tomf7976]

Omar, Thank you, thank you thank you. You're video was spot on, all the symptoms on my wife's 2014 Jeep. I watched it numerous times, I practiced each step in my mind. Today, I did as you directed and successfully replaced the Throttle Body unit. Her vehicle has much better pickup. The hardest part was the bottom hose clamp. Did it myself and saved $ 325.00, Thank you again!

[@OmarsGarage]

That’s awesome…this video alone has helped so many folks out for years now. Glad I could save so many people so much money. Thanks for leaving a comment. Made my day.

[@claygillman9351]

Thank you so much Omar. My 2013 Patriot had the exact same symptons. I ordered a new throttle body on Amazon. It arrived, and it took me less than an hour to put the new one in. Only because I watched this video. Except that I didn't even remove the battery. I was able to just remove the hose to the throttle body, and I had enough room to get to it. With the right extensions and everything. Thank you so much for the video.

[@OmarsGarage]

Clay Gillman that’s great. It’s a tight fit but it’s good to know you can do it without removing the battery. For the video I definitely needed to remove it. Glad it helped.

[@jeremiahmcelwain2578]

I saw your other video where you had the dealership diagnose it. I wasn't getting any codes for mine and the lightning bolt light on the dash would only appear intermittently. I tried resetting the computer first, and that seemed to help but not completely solve the issue. I used this video to pull the throttle body and clean it. Fingers crossed it solves the problem. Went to NAPA and they told me the part was $230+. If cleaning it doesn't solve the problem, I'll order it online and save more than half the money. Thanks again!

[@OmarsGarage]

Let us know if the cleaning works. I think the part I used was about $60 and it’s been a couple years now since I changed it. No issues since then. Good luck.

[@robertanderson7324]

Thank you so much buddy! I was on the freeway last week and boom my Jeep went down! I was on the freeway with the emergency lights on, seeing your video! Thank you so so much man. You saved me a lot of money and I bought the part for $84.

[@OmarsGarage]

So glad my video gave you some piece of mind. Not a good feeling when it happens.

Thanks again Omar!

Hey were you leaking oil when your jeep went boom?

[@JustPlayin911]

My new 2014 jeep patriot didn’t give me ANY issues until last week when it went on limp mode with 120k miles. Love jeeps! Everything points towards throttle body. I’m going to change that and see if it works. Thanks Omar!! Many years later and your still helping ppl!

So was that your fix Kay?

[@paulalan5942]

I just ordered the part so hopefully it fixes the problem. Thanks for the detailed video!!

[@svyat4178]

The throttle valve fails because it is filled with oil. I recommend installing an Air Oil Separator in the crankcase ventilation hose. It costs $5-$7. Thanks Omar for the video. We now have a lot of Jeep Patriots in Ukraine. And your experience is very useful to us! A lot of American equipment is fighting for the independence of our country. It is very reliable, but it also has to be repaired sometimes. We won't give up!

[@lukesmith9471]

Omar you champion... thanks all the way from Australia just did this to my Jeep Patriot 2014 after the same issues and it only cost me $80.. Jeep dealership wanted $750 for the throttle body parts only!!! You saved me and my young family a lot of heartache thanks so much again

[@OmarsGarage]

Luke Smith so happy to hear it I was able to help. Your thanks are very appreciated 👍

[@MookSpits]

Luke Smith I’m currently having issues with the same model car with ETC lights on and all. What was the part that you replaced exactly and what Was your original issue? Was it that ETC and the car not accelerating properly?

[@OmarsGarage]

Here’s a video with the symptoms I was having. Pretty much the car goes into limp mode and doesn’t accelerate past around 25 mph. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfKqGCLmriDaZY

[@lukesmith9471]

Owen McGovern hey mate yeah it was this exact issue the car wouldn’t accelerate but was on we turned it on and off sometimes I would help but eventually it was just reving and not moving. If you pm me I’ll send you the eBay link I used. It’s an easy fix just follow Omar’s video. Our car has been running perfectly ever since

[@benbarnhart7375]

I thought I had posted to this video but I can't seem to find my post. If this is a repeat, I apologize but I'm going to post a comment again for the sole reason of saving a headache for others who may be experiencing what I went through. I had the exact same issue on my 2013 Patriot. The vehicle left me in tough spot but I was able to limp it home. Bought the part on Amazon for $59 and less than an hour later, my Jeep was running top notch. Wasn't even that hard of a replacement. Thank you Omar! You saved me hundreds of dollars!

[@OmarsGarage]

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you were able to get it resolved. Still blows my mind how often these things fail.

[@kenanjones6795]

Hey Omar how’s it going man so since I replaced my throttle body my car has been running great the only thing that is different now is that my automatic car starter hasn’t worked since I replaced it and the check engine light is on could you give me your opinion on what u think may be wrong with if

[@OmarsGarage]

Kenan Jones it would be difficult to say. The first thing I would recommend is to scan the computer for codes and reset the codes if there are any. You can sometimes do this by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes. If you don’t have an OBDII scanner, some auto part stores will scan your vehicle for free. If you have that code then you can look up what else may be wrong with it. It may just need to be reset though.

Ok Thankyou man I will try tonight after I get back from work

[@mcamodell]

I just finished this. I removed the top(left) of the airbox and the battery and didn't regret it. BE CAREFUL WITH THE AIR TEMP SENSOR! It is delicate and brittle plastic after 10 years. Ask me how I know... Moving the upper radiator hose did help and it only drips a little, you can top it off with cheap distilled water without altering the ratio in any significant way. The gaskets are not included because Chrysler says they are reusable...I bought a new one anyway too 😉 It took 5 trips around my 1sq mile block to run well so Don't Panic of it doesn't start acting right immediatly, the computer needs a minute to get the new voltage range.

@Omar's Garage, Thanks a lot...your video is like the light at the end of tunnel :D Recently I started getting this Lightning Bolt/traction control light on randomly on my 2010 Patriot. I got all my tools/parts together and plannign to clean (not replace) the throttle body this weekedn! Hope things wok out fone for me. Just wanted to add (it may help others having same issue) - I noticed if I start the car and seat idle for some time (to warm up engine or for some reason) the lights show up. But If I drive off right away after starting the engine i dont see the lights. It is still my personal theory though...so far i applied this 3 times and i didnt see the issue coming up. I am planning to cleanup my throttle body anyway. Cz I read people commented at many diff online posts that it should be part of your maintenance job every 25/30K miles and also keeps your car efficient on gas.

Did you have to do a RELEARN on your Jeep for it to work right? Or was replacing the throttle body enough?

[@OmarsGarage]

Dean Andrews when I replaced the throttle body and turned the car on, the only light left on was the check engine. Driving the car around for a while should “relearn” the computer. The check engine light went off with about 20 miles of driving. Other than that I didn’t reset or relearn anything.

I think you are referring to the plastic plug that holds it in place. I used something similar to this Tresalto Auto Trim Removal Tool Kit, Set of 5 Pcs www.amazon.com/dp/B01L8GHB7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RVb.CbEADPVAK I have a set like this one. Some needle nose plyers would also work.

[@fiifiisworld]

Mines went out and the wires smell like they were smoking my whole truck stop on the high way and that throttle lighting sign piped up first then the check engine second … so that cause your whole truck to shut off and won’t crank??? It like it won’t to start up but something stoping it?

[@OmarsGarage]

That sounds like it’s something totally different. This never smoked and it would turn on but was in limp mode.

[@WhereWeWild]

I’m having the same issue with a 2014 Jeep Compass. Was on the highway and all of a sudden those 3 lights came on and the car had no power or acceleration. Got it scanned and the code says U0401 and it’s says Implausible Data Received from ECM/PCM. So I’m trying to figure out if it’s the actual computer, any connections, or maybe this throttle body. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@OmarsGarage]

Process of elimination. For $60 and a half an hour of work I would swap out the throttle body and see if that’s it. From the amount of people that have had this issue, it’s worth it to try that first.

[@WhereWeWild]

@@OmarsGarage Yeah thanks man… The part is already ordered and arriving from Amazon on Saturday. I pray it’s the fix cause idk what else to do. If you have any other suggestions I’m all ears. Appreciate it. 🙏🏽

Omar, did you have to recalibrate the throttle body with a scanner? My Jeep just broke down yesterday and I’m fixing it myself. Trip to the junkyard on my agenda today

[@OmarsGarage]

I did not recalibrate mine, I just disconnected the battery for several hours and drove it until the check engine light went off on its own. I have had others say you can touch the battery terminals to reset the battery and I have also had people use those instructions to recalibrate. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all lights to turn off. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.) Start car and drive around for a bit. Let me know how it goes.

[@mauriciodelacruz7009]

Omar's Garage thank you Omar I really appreciate it. I’ll let you know if that was the problem. I’m pretty sure it is. It has identical symptoms as your grandparents’ car. Thank you again

[@mauriciodelacruz7009]

Hey Omar, mission accomplished, I got the part from the junkyard and did what you told me and it’s running better than ever, thanks a lot brother I appreciate you

[@OmarsGarage]

Mauricio De La Cruz awesome. Did you have to recalibrate or did you just drive it?

[@mauriciodelacruz7009]

Omar's Garage I did both actually, I followed the manual relearn process that you share with me, it idled beautiful immediately after I started the car, it definitely runs way better than it did before. Thank you again

[@baracuda0728]

Thank for the video, having the same issue, but it comes and goes, no engine lights and no codes in the OBDII, but, the throttle light comes on and the car star to run rough for a few seconds and then the light goes off and the car runs ok. Is this the same issue or something more. Second it makes this really bad vibration when this happens, is this normal with the throttle issue? Please let me know being that i want to buy the part but if its something else then I wouldn't waste the time and the money.

[@OmarsGarage]

Marcos Cintron i was definitely getting a bad vibration when this was happening. It was also intermittent on this car, but in the end it never went back to normal and I had to order the part. If your car is older it may be worth it to get a new one anyways as these parts can wear out. It’s not that expensive and with this video you can do it yourself.

[@carlosfuentes4478]

Hey my 2010 Jeep Patriot losses power and it gives me 4 codes that’s says all the spark plugs are misfiring but I already changed the spark plugs and ignition coils and crankshaft sensor and it makes a noise in the transmission when I hit the gas

[@OmarsGarage]

Wish I could help, it never ran into that issue. The transmission making a noise is never good. Have you replaced the trans fluid to see if it hasn’t leaked and to look for metal shavings?

[@nain426]

@Omar’s Garage, I cleaned and put back the throttle body following your video. It was really helpful! However, the light still came back. May be i need to replace the throttle body next. In addition now i got the oil pressure warning light on the dashboard. Any idea what went wrong?

[@OmarsGarage]

Are you getting all 3 lights come on plus the oil pressure light? I’d recommend scanning the computer to see what codes it is throwing.

[@nain426]

@@OmarsGarage I got total 3 lights now- Lightning bolt, traction control, and oil pressure warning lights.

[@nain426]

@@OmarsGarage it is actually not the oil pressure warning light...it is the check engine light that came on after I cleaned and put back the throttle body. As per your advice I went to autozone and had it scanned. Based on the code the check engine issue was related to Purge valve. It turned out during the process I accidentally somehow broke the Purge Solenoid Hose that connects the Purge Valve to the engine. I have to order it at the dealer for $13. Do you think bcz of this broken hose I still have the Throttle body light still on (eventhoguh I cleaned it already), and may be it will go away after i replace the hose? Or I should replace the throttle body next?

[@OmarsGarage]

@@nain426 put the part in amd see if it works. You can also try this relearn procedure for the throttle body , but try it after you replace the broken part. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all lights to turn off. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. 4).

[@nain426]

@@OmarsGarage Thanks for the response! I did follow the re-learn steps already-didnt help. So I guess I will replce the throttle body. But will replace the purge valve hose first and see.

Will the throttle body you order work with a 2012 Jeep Patriot?

[@OmarsGarage]

Tonia Stewart it should fit 2007-2016 Jeep Patriot. Check the fitment guide on the amazon description.

[@JonnyRebel1776]

I've replaced mine step by step from your video and am still experiencing all the symptoms. All 3 lights are on. Lightning bolt. Check engine. And traction. After turning off the car and turning it back on again it runs smooth until all the lights turn on again. Idk what to do.

[@sleepypisceslove1586]

Question, I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot. I was on KZbin researching why its so hard to get up my speed when getting on the freeway. Is this a part that helps that?

[@OmarsGarage]

Joey Hakanson did it used to get up to speed a lot faster before? These Jeeps have pretty small engines and aren’t that fast to begin with. A dirty throttle body or defective throttle body could also decrease acceleration, but it could be one of several things.

[@sleepypisceslove1586]

@@OmarsGarage thank u so much for your reply. I've owned this vehicle for probably 6 months and its always been like this. Before I had the Jeep I had a Convertible Bug which I was completely in love with. Someone took a baseball bat to it and insurance totalled it. So my wife said I think the Jeep is slow because of the comparison to my bug. Sorry for my long story but thank u for the advise and I will have tgat part looked at.

[@edwardnewkir1631]

Hey Omar did you have to get your computer reprogrammed I had a new throttle body installed in my 2008 jeep patriot and the lighting bold and traction light is still on ... Do u think if I get the computer reprogrammed it would fix the issue ?

[@OmarsGarage]

Edward Newkir I just drove it around until it reprogrammed itself. After installing it only the check engine light was on. It may be different for a 2008 though.

[@OmarsGarage]

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for like an hour?

[@edwardnewkir1631]

Ok I drove it in limp mode still had no change so fingers crossed hopefully jeep delarship if they reprogram it it will run properly .... Thank u tutorial was excellent

[@edwardnewkir1631]

No not an hour I did disconnect the negative battery for about 15 minutes still no change

[@edwardnewkir1631]

I will try that method the car will not go over 30mph

[@NorthsideChamps16]

The shop is telling me they'd have to do an ecu relearn procedure if they replace the throttle body. Is there a way around it?

[@OmarsGarage]

I didn’t have to do it on mine...just drove it around and it reset itself after about 30 minutes of driving. I think this is the procedure though: Try this first. 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all the error lights to turn on. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. Try not to waver or be too jerky, just a nice slow, smooth push. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.)Start car and drive as you normally would. I never did that so I can’t vouch for it.

[@AnythingAuto]

Did you have to relearn the new throttle body?

[@OmarsGarage]

I didn’t do the relearn process on mine. I just drove it and eventually the check engine light went off once the computer relearned it by itself. Some other folks have commented that this is the procedure to relearn of that doesn’t work: 1). Turn ignition to Run, but do not start engine. 2). Wait for all lights to turn off. 3). Over the course of 15 seconds, slowly depress the throttle all the way to the floor. 4). Over the next 15 seconds, slowly let the throttle out in the same manner. 5.) Start car and drive around for a bit.

[@diegobelmont9605]

Hello! Mister Omar congratulations on the tutorial! I am from Brazil and I have a jeep liberty 07 that presents this same problem. what solution would that be? Thanks

[@OmarsGarage]

You can try cleaning the throttle body first and making sure all the electrical connections are not loose. If that doesn’t solve it then I would suggest trying to swap out the throttle body.

[@diegobelmont9605]

[@shawnreece1810]

My jeep is throwing code for the throttle control sensor is that part a plug and play or do you have to get it coded to your car

[@OmarsGarage]

For me it was plug and play. After driving it still had a check engine light that eventually went away when the computer relearned the throttle body settings. On my other video where I diagnose the issue, someone commented on a relearn process where you disconnect the battery and touch the terminals to reset the computer. Afterwards they let the car run for ten minutes and then drive the car normally and it should relearnhe TB.

[@Rhonda858]

Can the throttle body cause my jeep patriot to not accelerate over 35 mph? Also what have replaced the throttle body twice already but it is still doing the same thing, could it be it needs some sort of relearning procedure to get it to work properly?

[@OmarsGarage]

Did you replace it with the tb I have listed in the description of the video? I think the relearn procedure is also in the description or at least in the comments.

[@kourtbee8509]

How do you reset the computer? I changed the throttle body but it is not working? Could another sensor be out? Mine is a 2014 Jeep Patriot as well

[@OmarsGarage]

It could be. To reset the computer you can disconnect the negative battery terminal for about thirty minutes.

[@eddiemorrow3662]

Can you replace the intake and throttle body on my car check engine light stays on what do you think it is

[@OmarsGarage]

Have you had it scanned with an obdii scanner?

[@goodvibes4042]

In my case the first time I had to change the throttle body but aside from those lights I also had the 4x4 on. the same lights appeared again but this time the 4x4 did not appear like how is on this video but it was just the sensor that was loose so before trying to change the throttle body check the sensors.

[@OmarsGarage]

Good Vibes are you referring to the sensor that is on the snorkel that goes to the throttle body? You make a good point though that checking all the sensors to make sure they are snug is a good idea. I did that the first time it acted up and they were all clipped in well. Appreciate the advice!

[@amskatebc]

Same thing. Vehicle would idle rough intermittently, and those lights would come on. Looked at the ECU when it was happening and each time the fuel system would fail over to open loop mode. OBDII Faults: 3 Throttle faults: Pedal position sensor fault, Forced limited RMP fault, and Throttle actuator current fault. 2 O2 Sensor fault: Some low current/voltage faults So yeah, limp mode. Interesting part of this is how the fuel mode was tripping. The thing that makes the most sense to me is that the emissions output of the reduced RMP mode was low enough at idle to set off the sensors on the output. This is when someone will really notice the issue with the throttle/throttle body. The open loop fuel mode is the wrong mix for a car at temp.. I reseated the throttle and O2 intake sensors, and now it is running smooth. Faults have gone. Hope this helps someone!

[@OmarsGarage]

Hunger Squad thanks for the input. It’s always a good idea to check all the sensors for a snug fit. I had disconnected and reconnected the sensor that goes to the throttle body before and it didn’t resolve the issue.

[@amskatebc]

Dude. No doubt you had to replace the throttle body. My comment wasn't meant to district from that. Your vid helped me find the right direction! Helped me think about it better!

I’ve replaced my coil pack, then my spark plugs. Which helped for a few days then all the rough idling, the hard shaking when I slow down and take my foot off the gas and warning lights have come back. And it is a hard shake, feels like my engine could fall right out. Do you think I need to replace it again?? Please help 🙏🏼
