Throttle Body Cleaning... Now CEL
Throttle Body Cleaning... Now CEL
Hello,
I did a throttle body cleaning yesterday. The car has about 53,000 miles. I saw the DIY video but was not aware that our throttle bodies were this sensitive.
I did the accelerator pedal, throttle valve, and idle air learning procedures but still get a high idle CEL. When I first tried it, I got a CEL right after performing the procedure. So I pulled the battery and did it again.
The CEL went away but the idle was alittle high. I drove around 50 miles with no CEL but the idle was around 950 rpm. I turned off the car and started again and am getting the CEL again. I am in the process of performing another restart.
What do you guys recommend I do? I still have my original warranty on the car. Could the TB be covered under warranty? I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks.
