Sometimes the throttle body needs to be replaced. What’s a throttle body? It’s a part of your vehicle’s air intake system. It controls the amount of air that flows into the engine. That air helps burn up the fuel in your vehicle engine’s cylinders.
Performance Issues
Obviously, you’d want the correct amount of air getting in there, but the throttle body could become clogged up and/or malfunction. When that happens, air can’t get into the engine properly and you’ll have performance issues.
Reduced Acceleration
What are some signs you might need a new throttle body? If your vehicle doesn’t accelerate like you’d expect it would, there could be a problem. The lack of power leads to issues with accelerating such that it either won’t accelerate when you want it to, or the acceleration will be uneven. This is a sign you might need a new throttle body.
