HOW TO REMOVE THE THROTTLE BODY ON YOUR E46!

[@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

[@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!

[@EdwardMarakhov]

hey, do you know if the auto and manual 323 throttle bodies are different. found a second hand one for sale i’ll try first, i don’t think they should be different but wanted to hear if you’ve got an idea

[@AJCars.]

@@EdwardMarakhov I don’t think they are, the 323 is a weird hybrid, all the others are either electric or cable, this is both, so as long as it’s cable and electric you should be fine

[@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

[@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!

[@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!

[@p3kka813]

Hey man. Im late here but did the maf fix the problem you still had in the end or what did you do?

[@AJCars.]

@@p3kka813 no changing the throttle body fixed it mate!

[@p3kka813]

@@AJCars. So those lights went off? right?

[@AJCars.]

@@p3kka813 yeah I only had the EML Light on and once I’d deleted the codes it went yeah

[@mastersmods]

Good luck dude!

[@AJCars.]

Thank you man!

[@timmymartins1229]

did you reset the error codes in the obd? cause its gonna go into limb mode (eml) if you dont reset the error codes or the pedal.

[@AJCars.]

@@timmymartins1229 yeah I did try and reset them before at BMW on their ISTA programme but because the throttle body was faulty it wouldnt get rid of it, once it was replaced i didn’t even need to reset the light it just disappeared

[@dantealex7731]

Did you end up having to adjust the cable or did you leave it as is when removing the throttle and just place it back on the new one??

[@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!

[@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!

[@emojimusic1451]

Where is throttle position sensor located

[@AJCars.]

The TPS is manufactured into the throttle body mate

[@timmymartins1229]

@@AJCars. well now that i know that, it's great help cause i kept getting p0120 and p0220 error codes on my obd, i moved the wires a bit and took a reading it was only showing p0120 again, i thought it had to be some wire that connects to the throtlebody, now i know i have to take the whole thing off and check the sensors inside, thanks for the help!

[@AJCars.]

@ well there isn’t a sensor inside to look at, I thought the same but if it’s the same as mine which is a cable/electric throttle body, you don’t take it apart, you just replace the whole unit as one unfortunately, it’s expensive but needs to be done..

[@timmymartins1229]

@@AJCars. oh damn, i was gonna try do that tomorrow, but are you sure that plastic part with the tabs doesn't have the sensor inside? im gonna have to take it out anyway so i might as well try to see what's inside that plastic part where the plug connects, cause buying a used one is gonna be hard to find, and a new one on auto-doc is like 800€ wich is too expensive, i hope its just carbon build up and i can clean it, i just find it odd that sometimes the error goes away and i drove the car normal for a year and then i left it in the garage a couple weeks and now its coming back with the error code again :/, i've searched and found some tps sensors on google but im not sure if that's what is inside i guess i'll find out tomorrow. thanks for the help bro :D

[@AJCars.]

@ the TPC sensor is most likely for an M3, double check the carbon build up first before doing anything, hopefully it just needs cleaning

[@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

[@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

[@carmadnab]

What were your symptoms bro?

[@AJCars.]

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

[@giantclam1822]

Check your gas pedal sensor

[@AJCars.]

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