Throttle Body is killing me

[rocketman76]

So I installed a cold air intake sometime ago. While doing this I decided to stick my paws into the throttle body to clean it, BIG MISTAKE.

I read that on the forums that I messed with the calibration. I also read that the throttle body would self calibrate after 500 -750 miles of normal driving. It has been about 1,300 miles and it still sucks. Can you address this when tuning it? Or should I just buy a new one?

What year and engine is your vehicle?

Are you talking about the throttle body or the MAF?

Disconnect the battery for 5min and let it idle for a while

The one with no cable is the one you're not supposed to move right

It is a 2008 Yukon Denali XL with a 6.2L.

By the way, I still owe you some pictures of Y pipe for header quote. I could have done this today as I installed the SLP Harmonic.

If you are having throttle body problem, I agree with disconnecting the battery for 15 mins. If it is the MAF, you may need to buy a new one.

I have disconected the battery on several occasions for over 15 minutes and nothing.

I guess I could explain a bit more. As I approach a stop, the vehicle suddenly accelerates and then stops, (it's anoying, at crosswalks pedestrians glare at me as if I intentionally reved my engine at them). My understanding is that the throttle body is in a "Limp Home Mode", (locks partially open as a default). Other than that, the vehicle idles and accelerates fine.

I would just pay and replace it, but I am not sure if I have to get a dealer to calibrate a new throttle body?

You might have to take it into the dealership on that one. I didn't know you had moved the blade, thought maybe you were talking about the MAF.

Hooked it up to my buddy's Snap On scan tool and within five minutes it was reset.

Don't touch it again!!
