If you discover this in your Throttle Body you have problems

Check out my full video on my KZbin channel ‪@PhillipsVision‬

[@jeffhershey3634]

When an engine is shut off, there are often one or more intake valves open and the residual fuel vapors as well as oil vapors from the PCV system are trapped behind the throttle plate until the next startup. There will always be a buildup in that area. I always recommend to have the throttle body cleaned every couple years.

[@angel2304481989]

🤔

[@InexplicableBill]

I came here for this comment. I 100% agree. I have always (decades) seen this buildup on the inside of the intake manifold beyond the throttle body, mostly from PCV valve activity. Oil vapor lands on cool surfaces after the car cools down. It's simple. Never had a fuel pressure regulator problem.

[@Silent_Shadow]

​@@InexplicableBillthis person is correct.

[@daveyjoseph6058]

Noticed this on my motorcycle. I change the oil, flush the gas tank, and clean the air box religiously to prevent corrosion and shit, but this gunk always builds up in the air filter housing around the vapor return lines. The manufacturer even put a tiny little sponge in there to collect it all between cleanings

[@jessereynoso7639]

You just damaged that throttle body, ,you not supposed to open that manually,

[@cesareomiranda4485]

It can also be the pcv valve that needs to be replaced.

[@yuvanm9040]

Hey i suspect if pcv valve is faulty there will be OIL int eh throtle door itself since the pcv vavle connects before the door😅

[@simonlinser8286]

Yes but will maybe appear as a lighter color than from the motor and pcv still is letting out the fuel that can leak past worn rings into the crankcase obviously like the whole point of the pcv right? Weil not the whole point but whether it's fuel or blowby gases from cylinders? Because otherwise they will go into oil and thin the oil and that's part or the reason as well as.... carbon buildup?

[@anorsegoddess9797]

​@anorsegoddess9797 don't forget that if you disconnect the battery fir any reason you may have to take the vehicle through a fuel trim relearn process... otherwise it'll idle like shit and may even stall out

[@howardcherry5565]

My 2011 Honda Accord had the same problem and I had a mechanic that wanted to replace the valves. I wanted to make sure of his diagnosis so I want to friend that my son uses and after going through the core he noticed under the body throttle there was a lot of wires coming out the wiring corners and he noticed one of the wires were broken, so he put two wires together fix the wire which was thin thread wire when you’re sewing and I got a bill from him for over $300 for the job. The other person wanted $900 and that was an even the problem so I would suggest getting a couple opinions if you can if your car will let you, don’t jump on the first opinion

[@Brandon-yq1tm]

Even $300 to fix a torn wire is highway robbery, damn.

[@PhillipsVision]

Could be a problem with bad piston rings or leaking Injectors

[@mhmdyssen]

I had this before and it was the high pressure fuel pump leaking to the engine. If Im not wrong it could also be bad injectors but with that the car keeps running after you shut it off for few seconds.

[@angelf9800]

I have a code P0122 Throttle/Pedal Position what should I fix first the throttle body or the pedal position sensor

[@PhillipsVision]

I would start with whichever part is cheaper. You don’t want to start with the more expensive part, just to realize that wasn’t it.

[@duzzitmatter8679]

That would be the APPS (Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor). Around $45-50 on Rock Auto. The TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) is in the actual Throttle Body and cannot be separated. You have to order the whole enchilada. About $120-250 pending how much cheddar you’ve got to burn. Good luck!

That is oil. 5.3 Chevy engines all have oil leaking into the throttle body. They sell an updated valve cover (genuine GM) that helps stop it, and you can add a good Micky Mouse oil catcher. Also. It is really not much of a problem. I ran one to 300,000 miles with no problems doing that.

Oof 😬 Every time you plunge your finger in the valve or just drop it, i cringe. Rapidly moving the butterfly valve can actually cause enough current to send faulty signals and mess up sensitive electronic components. If I need to move the butterfly valve to clean the throttle body, I move it slowly so as to not generate current

Most likely the purge valve right next to the throttle body that's going bad. If you have an issue with starting after filling your tank that's another indicator that your purge valve is bad.

Could also be bad intake valve/valves not seating and piston blowing air charge back through intake. Put hand over throttle body and if you feel any pressure popping back at your hand it's a bad intake valve seat, if not it's probably one of the other problems also mentioned above.
