HOW TO REMOVE THE THROTTLE BODY ON YOUR E46!

[@vitalijskeziks3918]

Fricking EML 😂😂 I had same problem. I have M52B25 but I replaced DISA valve and throttle body from M52TUB25 now it works perfectly

[@AJCars.]

Yeah it’s a nightmare… glad it’s sorted now though!

[@uz1404]

looks like a leaky injector to me tbh

[@d99mu]

Hi pal, what was the issue? Mine is in idle at the moment, it’s in limp mode and won’t go past 20mph, brings come 005E19 code, which indicates throttle body.

[@AJCars.]

@@d99mu if it’s got a rough idle I’d check the ICV (idle control valve) first, then if that doesn’t work I’d check for leaks in the lines, if it isn’t that I’d go for throttle body mate

[@dantealex7731]

I have the same car. Seems like you need to tune the cable so your throttle opens properly. I didn’t see you do that, but I’m sure it will help lots

[@AJCars.]

@@dantealex7731 I ended up changing the whole thing and it worked fine after that fortunately!

[@emojimusic1451]

Where is throttle position sensor located

[@AJCars.]

The TPS is manufactured into the throttle body mate

[@matheuswaltrick6705]

Hey dude check for any air leaks on the intake

[@AJCars.]

Checked that! Funnily enough it was a fault throttle body, got a new one and it’s all fixed!

[@TVMRC2000]

I look forward to the continuation! I'm struggling with this problem! :D

[@AJCars.]

Throttle body fixed it mate!

[@TVMRC2000]

Then I'll replace it next week@@AJCars.

[@AJCars.]

@@TVMRC2000 yeah 100% would recommend mate it sorted mine out straight away

[@tengzturiagaiii3185]

Hi, is the throttle possition sensor is integrated in the throttle body? And do you have to reprogram the throttle body when unplugging and plugging it back?

[@AJCars.]

Yes the position sensor it part of the body I’m sure, but I would say get a new one as I had a second hand one and it was faulty and threw me right off thinking it was other issues, and no you don’t have to reprogram it purely plug and play

[@tengzturiagaiii3185]

Thanks man. I looked around for one. Used are from 3 to 600 bucks. Lol brand new are 1000😳

[@AJCars.]

@@tengzturiagaiii3185 that’s why I went second hand and risked it and it still cost me £300… it’s because they’re discontinued so prices are through the roof

[@tengzturiagaiii3185]

Man. Did it fix the problem?

[@AJCars.]

@@tengzturiagaiii3185 yes, sorted it out immediately

[@minjaekim8929]

Hi friend I also have a throttle body problem and when I step on the clutch while shifting while driving, the rpm went up by 800-1500 I have a problem that comes down very slowly. I ordered a throttle body but I wonder how you solved the RPM problem

[@AJCars.]

@@minjaekim8929 it was all to do with the throttle body, so if I can say anything to help it would be to change that if you’re experiencing the same issues I am

[@minjaekim8929]

@@AJCars. Thank you for replying

[@AJCars.]

@@minjaekim8929 anytime!

[@Cokewave01]

How did you plug in the round throttle cable with the arrows ? I’ve been struggling smh

[@AJCars.]

It’s a bit of an awkward one it has a certain shape inside so you can only offer it up 1 way, once you line it up you have to push it down whilst turning it clockwise, it basically winds on then will click down once it’s all the way in

[@andrewispham]

What tools are needed? Just a 10mm?

[@AJCars.]

@@andrewispham the whole job will take a few tools, if you have a socket set that will be perfect, i think it was TX30, 13mm 10mm

[@YootubeUK]

I'm about to remove mine, I've already replaced split hoses but I'm sure the butterfly valve is snagging in the crappy alloy casting. Especially as it broke a throttle cable before I bought the car. Went like stink when I test drove it so hopefully that wil cure it. Mine also lit the EML light when it was in limp mode. Was your throttle body a new or used replacement?

[@AJCars.]

It was a used replacement but reconditioned, has been great ever since!

[@YootubeUK]

@@AJCars. I think having just polished out where it was binding mine was the butterfly physically binding in the body. Just polished the edges and body up, shifted the carbon and butterfly back in. If not fixed, I have at least now ruled that out.

[@AJCars.]

@@YootubeUK yeah I made sure to get all the carbon out of mine aswell incase it stuck again, the butterfly is a common thing to go aswell because they’re so weak

[@YootubeUK]

@@AJCars. Fingers crossed anyway! Yours still been fine?

[@AJCars.]

@@YootubeUK yeah runs and drive great!

[@carmadnab]

What were your symptoms bro?

[@AJCars.]

Quite a lot😂 too much for the comment section message me on Instagram I’ll tell you 👏🏼

[@mastersmods]

Good luck dude!

[@AJCars.]

Thank you man!

[@giantclam1822]

Check your gas pedal sensor

[@AJCars.]

It’s all sorted now! I was the throttle body in the end

[@giantclam1822]

@@AJCars. Cool....what exactly was the issue

[@AJCars.]

@@giantclam1822 the throttle body I bought was faulty, so I got a new one and it sorted it👍🏻

[@giantclam1822]

@@AJCars. Glad ya got it figured out. These cars are full of surprises.
