  • Anonymous May 11, 2010

    what do you mean by that? do you mean like adjust the throttle cable...? i dont think you can...... "get more answers...." but this is what i would say....."if you want better throttle responce you should get a Kn'N air element "you know the performance one" but they go for bout $180.

There is no way to raise the RPM on your vehicle. The RPM is computer controlled, if the idle is too low there is a problem that will need to be repaired. ie a bad relay or sensor.

2010 xc60 volvo Does the throttle body have to be reset after cleaning

Yes, it is recommended to perform a throttle body adaptation or reset procedure after cleaning the throttle body on a 2010 Volvo XC60. This is because cleaning the throttle body can remove built-up carbon deposits and change the air flow through the throttle body, which can affect the engine's idle speed and performance.
To perform the adaptation or reset procedure, follow these steps:
  1. Reinstall the cleaned throttle body and reconnect all electrical connectors and hoses.
  2. Turn the ignition key to the "On" position, but do not start the engine.
  3. Wait for 30 seconds to allow the throttle body to initialize.
  4. Turn off the ignition key and wait for 10 seconds.
  5. Start the engine and let it idle for 10 minutes with all electrical accessories turned off.
  6. Turn off the engine and wait for 10 seconds.
  7. Restart the engine and take it for a test drive to ensure proper idle speed and performance.
If the engine still does not idle well after performing the throttle body reset procedure, there may be other issues causing the problem, such as a vacuum leak or a faulty sensor.

2003 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7L throttle body trouble!

Buy a can of electrical switch cleaner and spray both the male and female connectors on all those items involved.

If that doesn't fix it, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer who can scan for communication issues and record the Live Data as it happens and what made the electronic throttle indicator light come on.

https://dashboardsymbols.com/2010/11/electronic-throttle-control/
Electronic Throttle Control Indicator This is the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol. This light, a lightning bolt between reversed brackets or parenthesis, will illuminate if there is a problem in the electronic throttle control system. As an electronic system, it can sometimes be reset with a restart.

XL. Why is 'reduce eng.' light on?

Reduced engine power is a problem with the electronic throttle control . You need to have a scan tool hooked up to read codes stored .

REDUCED ENGINE POWER: Refer to Powertrain Control Module Description in Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L

Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the PCM detects a problem with the throttle actuator control (TAC) system the PCM enters one of the following Reduced Engine Power Modes:
• Acceleration Limiting--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the vehicle acceleration is limited.
• Limited Throttle Mode--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the maximum throttle opening is limited.
• Throttle Default Mode--The control module will turn off the throttle actuator.
• Forced Idle Mode--The control module will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle by positioning throttle position, or by controlling fuel and spark if throttle is turned off.
- Ignore accelerator pedal input.
• Engine Shutdown Mode--The control module will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

Hello, I have a quick question. Where would the idle sensor in a 2004 Nissan Altima 2.5 be located under the hood? I've been looking online for some answers, but I am getting other years.

Your vehicle has no idle sensor , it has electronic throttle control . Has 2 position sensors in the gas pedal assembly an 2 position sensors in the throttle body ,plus a DC motor that controls the idle . The sensors are inputs to the engine computer ,the computer controls the DC motor to control idle .
DTC P1121 ELECTRIC THROTTLE CONTROL ACTUATOR PFP:16119 Component Description UBS002XS Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc. The throttle control motor is operated by the ECM and it opens and closes the throttle valve. The throttle position sensor detects the throttle valve position, and the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feeds the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening angle properly in response to driving condition. On Board Diagnosis Logic UBS002XT These self-diagnoses have the one trip detection logic. FAIL-SAFE MODE When the malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and the MIL lights up. DTC Confirmation Procedure UBS00CVM NOTE: ? Perform PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A AND B first. If the DTC cannot be confirmed, perform PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION C. ? If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test. PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A AND B With CONSULT-II 1. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 1 second. 2. Select "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II. 3. Shift selector lever to D position (A/T) or 1st position (M/T), and wait at least 3 seconds. 4. Shift selector lever to P position (A/T) or Neutral position (M/T). 5. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. 6. Turn ignition switch ON and wait at least 1 second. 7. Shift selector lever to D position (A/T) or 1st position (M/T), and wait at least 3 seconds. 8. Shift selector lever to P position (A/T) or Neutral position (M/T). 9. Turn ignition switch OFF, wait at least 10 seconds, and then turn ON. 10. If DTC is detected, go to EC-357, "Diagnostic Procedure" . With GST Follow the procedure "With CONSULT-II" above. DTC No. Trouble diagnosis name DTC detecting condition Possible cause P1121 1121 Electric throttle control actuator A) Electric throttle control actuator does not function properly due to the return spring malfunction. ? Electric throttle control actuator B) Throttle valve opening angle in fail-safe mode is not in specified range. C) ECM detects the throttle valve is stuck open. Detected items Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode Malfunction A ECM controls the electric throttle actuator by regulating the throttle opening around the idle position. The engine speed will not rise more than 2,000 rpm. Malfunction B ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator by regulating the throttle opening to 20 degrees or less. Malfunction C While the vehicle is driving, it slows down gradually by fuel cut. After the vehicle stops, the engine stalls. The engine can restart in N or P position, and engine speed

Starts and idles, no accelerator response.

Your Denali has Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) System - Electronic throttle control ! Are there any messages on the driver information center ? Reduced engine power ?
Reduced Engine Power Mode When the PCM detects a condition with the TAC system the PCM may enter a reduced engine power mode. Reduced engine power may cause one or more of the following conditions:
?€¢
Acceleration limiting--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the vehicle acceleration is limited.


?€¢
Limited throttle mode--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control; however, the maximum throttle opening is limited.


?€¢
Throttle default mode--The control module will turn off the throttle actuator motor and the throttle will return to the spring loaded default position.


?€¢
Forced idle mode--The control module will perform the following actions:


-
Limit engine speed to idle by positioning throttle position, or by controlling fuel and spark if throttle is turned off.


-
Ignore accelerator pedal input.


?€¢
Engine shutdown mode--The control module will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.


You need to have it checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes , probably a accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor or TPS - throttle position sensor !

I have an 06 cobalt and recently my car started to suddenly lose power while driving. It says reduce engine power when this happens. If I turn the car off for a minute it'll go away.

This has nothing to do with the Catalytic converter ! Plugged catalytic converters don't go away after shutting off the vehicle !
This reduced engine power has to do with the

My reduced power light keeps coming on in my 04 gmc envoy I then have to turn off my truck wait for a few minutes then turn it back on then it will run again, when the reduced power light comes on my truck...

Check the vehicle for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's should be the first step in diagnosing this problem . But a tune - up not ! Reduced enging power is caused by a problem with the electronic throttle control . If you are not familiar with this ,your best bet would be to take to a qualified repair shop.
REDUCED ENGINE POWER: Refer to Powertrain Control Module Description in Engine Controls - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L

Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) Overview
The throttle actuator control (TAC) system uses vehicle electronics and components to calculate and control the position of the throttle blade. This eliminates the need for a mechanical cable attachment from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body. This system also performs the cruise control functions as well.
The TAC system components include, but are not limited to the following:
• The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensors
• The throttle body
• The powertrain control module (PCM)
Each of these components interface together to ensure accurate calculations and control of the throttle position (TP)
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Sensor
The APP sensor is mounted on the accelerator pedal assembly. The APP is actually 2 individual APP sensors within 1 housing. There are 2 separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits. APP sensor 1 voltage increases as the accelerator pedal is depressed. APP sensor 2 voltage decreases as the accelerator pedal is depressed.

One of these sensors could be sending conflicting data to the PCM - engine computer .

Reduced Engine Power Mode
When the PCM detects a problem with the throttle actuator control (TAC) system the PCM enters one of the following Reduced Engine Power Modes:
• Acceleration Limiting--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the vehicle acceleration is limited.
• Limited Throttle Mode--The control module will continue to use the accelerator pedal for throttle control, however the maximum throttle opening is limited.
• Throttle Default Mode--The control module will turn off the throttle actuator.
• Forced Idle Mode--The control module will perform the following actions:
- Limit engine speed to idle by positioning throttle position, or by controlling fuel and spark if throttle is turned off.
- Ignore accelerator pedal input.
• Engine Shutdown Mode--The control module will disable fuel and de-energize the throttle actuator.

Throttle Body Assembly
The throttle body for the throttle actuator control (TAC) system is similar to a conventional throttle body with several exceptions. One exception being the use of a motor to control the throttle position instead of a mechanical cable. Another exception is the throttle position (TP) sensor. The TP sensor is mounted in the throttle body assembly. The TP sensor is 2 individual TP sensors within the throttle body assembly. Two separate signal, low reference, and 5-volt reference circuits are used to connect the TP sensors and the powertrain control module (PCM). TP sensor 2 signal voltage increases as the throttle opens. TP sensor 1 signal voltage decreases as the throttle opens.

Nissan altima 2000 with engine service light on. fault codes per mechanic p0325 and p1126. But he said mass air flow sensor malfunction. is this right?

p0325 is, ignition system or misfire, could be plugs, wires, or a bad coil. p1126 throttle control motor relay curcuit open.P1126 Power supply for the throttle control motor is provided to the ECM via throttle control motor relay. The throttle control motor relay is ON/OFF controlled by the ECM. When the ignition switch is turned ON, the ECM sends an ON signal to throttle control motor relay and battery voltage is provided to the ECM. When the ignition switch is turned OFF, the ECM sends an OFF signal to throttle control motor relay and battery voltage is not provided to the ECM. possible cause, Harness or connectors (Throttle control motor relay circuit is open Throttle control motor relay.

Looking to find the correct specs to adjust a TPS for a 1994 Mazda 929. Using a multi-purpose voltmeter.

YOU NEED 2 VOLT METERS.FIRST OF ALL START ENGINE.LET IT GET OPERATING TEMPERATURE THEN TURN OFF ENGINE.THEN YOU CONNECT TWO VOLT METERS TO THE TEST CONNECTOR.TURN IGNITION ON AND CHECK THAT CURRENT FLOWS TO ONLY ONE VOLT METER.IF BOTH VOLT METERS SHOW CURRENT FLOW REMOVE THE CAP AND TURN THE ADJUSTING SCREW COUNTERCLOCKWISE UNTIL ONE VOLT METER SHOWS CURRENT.IF NO CURRENT IS REGISTERED BY EITHER VOLTMETER TURN THE ADJUSTING SCREW CLOCK WISE UNTIL ONLY ONE VOLT METER SHOWS CURRENT.INSTALL THE CAP ON THE ADJUSTING SCREW AND DISCONNECT THE THROTTLE SENSOR CONNECTOR.CONNECT AN OHM METER TO THE THROTTLE SENSOR TERMINALS.OPEN THE THROTTLE VALVE AND CHECK THE RESISTANCE READING FROM THE THROTTLE SENSOR.AT IDLE THE THROTTLE SENSOR SHOULD SHOW ABOUT ONE KILO OHM RESISTANCE.AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE SENSOR SHOULD SHOW ABOUT 5 KILO OHMS RESISTANCE.ANY RESULTS OTHER THAN THESE.REPLACE THE THROTTLE SENSOR AND RETEST.
