Will this fix the JK issues? A new 3.8l wrangler Throttle Body.

[@wulfclaw4921]

Thanks, man ! Good instructional without all the annoying "music" or irritating wasted time !

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thanks- Jeepin it simple.

On his last day, my dad told me that I would have to watch a KZbin video to learn how to replace the throttle body on his Jeep. So thanks for this. You were a big help.

Changed out camshaft sensor and temp sensor on my 2011 JKU. Now waiting on the throttle body by mail and change it out. Have had occasional starting issues. Just when I thought I was done and rid of issues it was hard to start again when I drove around a bit. Waiting for the mechanic in me to find the issue before I take it to a shop. Thanks for the many videos. A fan!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We had some issues a couple of weeks ago with the red jeep again. It acted like no fuel or fire again. It's hard to take a Jeep on a trail ride when you don't trust it... Jeep life

[@Ro3Go]

@@FloridaJeepRides Changed out a dead battery yesterday and now just waiting on the throttle body to arrive. Hope that’s the culprit and fixes things. Wish me luck! I’ll keep you posted.

if a red indicator appears like lightning... the rpm can't be high... what's the problem

[@richdatsun8755]

I remove my throttle body on the 3.6 just to clean both sides good and alway new gasket. I’m amazed how fast they get dirty. Glad you got your issues fixed.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thanks for sharing. An easy way to clean out he flap.

[@KarlLSnyder]

Thanks for your videos..i find them very helpful. I have several "ghosts" and "gremlins" I'm chasing right now. Changed my cam position sensor and am having occasional starting issues now.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

We went through so many issues last year. We finally took it to a shop and they found a bad fuel pump and filter. After that it's been doing good. I must have changed every sensor that codes indicated.

[@KarlLSnyder]

@FloridaJeepRides I've been reading through a plethora of threads on the subject in JK & Wrangler forums. I have yet to find a single thread or video pinpointing the issue. Lots of variables. Lol. One thread on the subject starts in 2020 and continues to be a problem into 2023! They replaced all the same parts you mention and many more. I'm just buckling in for the Jeep experience and plan on fixing and replacing for as long as I own it. Haha! Thanks again!

[@felixgarciamedina5471]

I also have that issue, changed the Air intake sensor MAP sensor, Throttle Body, spark plugs and wires (plugs and wires about three months ago or more), also changed the gas pedal, about to change EGR and crank shaft sensor. I saw another video were they changed the power brake booster.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Most recently we have had issues with warm starting. I go to a store and it won't start for 30 minutes or so. It turns over strong but won't fire. It could be a gas vapor problem. Or Stuck injectors.

[@felixgarciamedina5471]

@@FloridaJeepRides My mechanic called me yesterday, he narrow it down to the PCV and a hose. He is doing an extensive test later today, hopeful that is the fix in my case.🤞

[@felixgarciamedina5471]

Issue was fixed, the hose was cracked and the rubber of the PCV was looking/feeling like plastic. PCV is located behind the coil pack.

[@stevenritley4610]

I have been chasing this same gremlin all over my wife's Jeep.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

For now it’s been doing well. Lots of new little things that did not cost too much. It’s running better and was due a tuneup anyway.

[@frankielin2]

Did your traction light ever come on then reduce your power? I've had that one. Replaced the camshaft position sensor. Fixed then a couple of months later it happened again. It has been taking a longer to start. It's currently at the jeep place racking up lots of charges. I was at my breaking point trying to figure it out. They put a throttle body on it today. Still not sure if that's gonna fix it. Hopefully it does. Has it still fixed your problems?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

It's been running good after all the changes. We took it to Croom on Saturday and had no issues.

[@charbelkaram1119]

I am having the same issue now, on long rides, the check engine and the traction lights are on and loose power (RPM 3500 max). if I stop it and let it cool, the traction light goes, and the check engine stays for 2 to 3 days and then turns off. As soon as the traction light goes off, I drive with no issue. don't know what to do now. please let me know how it worked for you. Thanks

[@KarlLSnyder]

Curious what the outcome to your issue was, Jobu. I just replaced my cam position sensor and am now getting delayed starting issues...among other issues 🤷‍♂️

[@nathaneagle7005]

Hi Florida Jeep, I’m having issues with my 07 Wrangler JK rubicon 3.8L, I’ve replaced the cam position sensor, I’m getting codes for the egr valve and it’s going into limp mode, did replacing the cam sensor, egr sensor, throttle body and temp sensor solve your issues? Thanks in advance

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I changed them all... some twice. I ended up taking it to a shop and they did a fuel pressure test and discovered an issue with the fuel pump. It is in the gas tank and was messing up stuff up line to the injectors. Today, I changed the alternator. It never ends with Jeep and I would have it no other way.

[@justinblumenschein973]

Wondering if you have a detailed wire pin out for the throttle body connector. Long story short my plug was damaged. Pinned in New plug and never documented the original wire layout. Currently red lightning bolt on and little to no throttle response. Thanks!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

The Jeep is in the shop but when it gets back I can take a photo. Watch for the red Jeep and remind me. I hope its fixed soon.

[@jeffdouglas5325]

What type of starting issues are you having? We have a 2011 JKU and when you go to start it it takes a little bit for it to fire up. Is this the issue you were having?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Where to start.... about two years ago while wheeling at the location for Jeeping with Judd, I had a crankshaft position sensor go out. Then an error for the camshaft sensor, the map sensor, the temperature sending unit, and it goes on and on and on. I began to think that possibly the CPU was malfunctioning. It always turned over strong but acted like it was not getting fuel or fire. I changed almost every sensor on it and yet it would run for a while and then start having problems again. Long answer, I finally took it down to a shop where they discovered there was a problem with the fuel pump and there was not enough fuel pressure. That may have been causing things to not properly burn the fuel which was clogging up any other component that was associated with that. And as of now it is doing it again and left me stranded about 12 miles from home. Eventually it started but at this point I'm having trust issues with it.

[@jonathanribbing3055]

I'm doing a bunch of repairs/ maintenance / preventative maintenance to my 2010 jku before my trip from PA to FL this jan. I also am replacing the throttle body. Did you ever get your electrical issues sorted out with this jeep?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Yes it looks like its worked its way through for now. Currently working on ABS stuff on the blue 2010.

[@jong8542]

Should get a sock to put on that hi-flow intake filter for dust / water

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I never thought about that, Good idea.

[@childrey14]

I haven't changed my throttle body yet in my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport. I replaced the Thermostat and about to change my coolant temperature sensor. My issue is no loss of power and my Throttle Body is clean as can be, but the Check Engine light and Throttle light came on and the temperature gauge doesn't go above 3/4. No overheating and even flushed to change out radiator fluid. I'm thinking it's the Coolant Temperature Sensor. Any suggestions I'm all ears.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I had the same issues. When I took it off it looked clean. After replacing it it fixed the issue. I cleaned it up with Throttle body cleaner. There also is a sensor on them that can cause issues. I upgraded my code reader to get a better look at things. If I had to do it again I would take it to a shop where they could put it on a real diagnostic machine. That could have saved time and money.

[@donlum9128]

Replace air intake temp sensor

[@obidave2]

Wow. You made that look simple! Let us know if that fixes the issue!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

[@petehadden5606]

Wondering if you got a dtc before the throttle body change? I got the red lighting bolt ETC light, and the jeep died while driving. Its a 2011 jk cranks...wont start, when i get it to crank, its misfiring on multiple cylinders. Feel like im chasing ghosts. Throttle body seems like next logical step. Thanks for any feedback

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Yes we did. It would give a code then after the fix a new one would come. It's been running good. Chasing ghosts is a good way to put it. I also changed the Coil pack, plugs, and wires. The last thing I would have done was the PCM. Even with throwing parts at it, its less than a monthly payment.

[@petehadden5606]

@@FloridaJeepRides thanks...ordered a throttle body...will update if that solves the issue.

@@FloridaJeepRides I got the red lighting bolt so replaced the throttle body that didn't help. Come to find out a mouse chewed one of the wires that comes off the computer. I put a connector on it and it fixed it right away

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Yes after changing egr I have not had any more issues. That was the hardest part to get to. Every time I changed a part a new code would come. The only thing left was the pc board. Lots of money.

@@FloridaJeepRides I already have changed the egr(it was a pain to change). I had a code for it about a year ago. The only code showing up now is p0300 random misfire. I have check everything, and everything seems to be ok. I was wondering if the throttle body might be it. I am lost

[@JeepTrailsandBarbells]

Have you had any issues with gas mileage dropping? For the last 3 months, my jeep went from 260 a tank down to 170 a tank. No codes at all whatsoever. So now I'm going to start the process of eliminating everything it could be. I'm just wondering if you have had that kind of issue. The start of this is going to be The clutch (it's going out) EGR PCV TUNE UP (done less than a year ago) O2 sensors PCM IAT sensor THROTTLEBODY The dealer wants 200 a hour for diagnostic, and I can't take a chance on them taking 3 or 4 hours trying to figure out what wrong and cost me 600 to 800. I can pretty much do all the work for that amount.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Some times I get around 12 others 14 most has to do with how heavy I’m on the gas. I get a check done. Plugs are a good start though.

[@cowlumbus]

So...with all the things you have done, did this fix it? We are going town the "throwing parts at it" rabbit hole ourselves!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

That was one of the last things I did, we took it to a shop last summer and they tested the fuel pressure... there was a problem with the fuel pump as well. The thing that was frustrating is the trouble codes kept changing.

[@tannersmith8228]

Hey man I need some help... I have my engine misfiring on 1 and 4. I've replaced spark plugs, wires, and coil pack, a few different times since then, and the engine is still missing, everytime i change it is seems to not fix anything

Could that be a crank or cam sensor?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I have replace so many parts and the cam sensor was one. A good code reader helps narrow down whats messing up.

[@tannersmith8228]

I also forgot to mention it's throwing the p0300 code, that's the general misfire, and none of 9t has changed anything, any idea there?
