Just Just like the throttle, the throttle body plays a very important part in how your fuel-injected engine runs, and makes the car move. The air intake system relies on the throttle body as a pivotal component. The air intake...
The The tachometer is located on the dashboard next to the speedometer. It measures the revolutions per minutes (RPM). The tachometer can be a digital display or on a calibrated analogue dial. They are on both automatic and manual vehicles....
Code P0068 can have to do with the Throttle Position Sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/throttle-position-sensor-replacement). It can also be due to a Mass Air Flow sensor fault (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/mass-airflow-sensor-replacement). Usually this code can be set due to a vacuum leak, either somewhere in the...
If you have spark and you have fuel pressure then the only thing left to test is the fuel injectors (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-injector). You will need to have a fuel injector noid light to connect to the injector connectors to see if...
The idle control valve may be stuck or you have a vacuum leak. Try to disconnect the vacuum lines to the EGR valve to see if it still stalls. This may be due to problems in the vacuum system. Try...
Hello there, thank you for asking about your 1997 BMW 760Li. Your problem has many potential causes. It could be anything from a failed mass airflow sensor to a worn fuel pump. The first step is to retrieve the diagnostic...
Hello there, The TPS can be a serious issue if the car dies like it did. I would not recommend driving the vehicle until repairs have been performed. There is no recall for this fault though there is a technical...
Hi. Most of the time when these codes come up it is because the throttle body has failed. If you replaced the throttle body and cleared the codes and the problem persists then there may be another issue. When replacing...
Hello there, thank you for asking about your 1986 BMW 635CSi. It sounds like you've checked all of the low hanging fruit. The previous owner may be right - some vehicles (only German ones come to mind) can develop a...
This may be a sign of a failing idle air control valve. The idle air control valve is located on or near your intake manifold and monitors the air intake as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected...
An illuminated Check Engine Light can be caused by many different issues on a vehicle that is 15 years old; it could be anything from a gas cap, to a bad sensor. I recommend hiring a mechanic, such as one...
In this case, you may need to have the wheels balanced on the vehicle if the tires have already been road force balanced. While tire balancing will result in a balanced tire and wheel assembly, it does not balance the...
I'm not sure why you are getting the definition of "throttle body filter" for the code P0068. The definition I come up with is throttle body air flow performance. In fact, all of your codes are having to do with...
Hello, thank you for writing in. It is difficult to say if the vehicle is safe to drive. If the vehicle performs well enough that you can drive it short distances, then you can continue to work with it within...
Thanks for writing in about the acceleration issue with your 2007 Volvo S60. At first glance, I'd agree with you that the problem would be caused by the MAF sensor, as that's what commonly causes the slow acceleration issues and...
Hello. The throttle cable (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/throttle-control-cable-replacement) could be sticking causing the RPMs to increase excessively if the throttle cable is holding the throttle open when it shouldn’t be. There also could be a bad throttle position sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/throttle-position-sensor-replacement) or idle control...
You can try and have the throttle body (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-throttle-body) and idle control valve (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-idle-control-valve) cleaned first and code cleared. If the code returns then you will need to have the computer program updated for this code. There is a technical...
This may be a sign of a leaky injector or potentially an incorrect idle air adjustment. A leaky injector can cause a rich fuel condition as it may leak too much fuel into a cylinder not allowing the combustion cycle...
If the throttle body is leaking vacuum on the throttle shaft then it should be replaced. If you are just getting a noise of sucking air through the throttle plates then it can be caused by carbon build up on...
Newer cars don't have a choke like the old cars did. The throttle body actually has a small gap that acts as the choke. If this gap gets clogged, and it does from time to time, the car wont start....
I think you probably have a bad alternator. If you car starts, it's not the ECU. It could be the mass air flow sensor(MAF) but that has already been eliminated. You could have a clogged fuel filter which means it's...
It sounds like your throttle body is sticking. You might be able to physically un-jam it but there is likely something in the system that needs replacing. I recommend you don't try starting the car anymore until you have it...
