Incline the ignition position for 10 seconds then slowly turn on the ignition switch for 2 seconds then release the pedal position for 10 seconds and switch off the ignition switch for 10 seconds turn the key for 2 seconds then wait another 10 seconds then free the accelerator for 7 seconds then wait 10 seconds and turn on the ignition switch

What’s the deal with the funky shoes and the clutch/throttle action?

[dirtyreg]

if you put on a new sensor shouldnt it be problem solved. my brother put a new sesnor on mine and he didnt disconnect the negative terminal. i hope the new sensor was reset enough to work right.

Not the positive side of the battery, that is a grommet for passing wires through.

[FranklinJohnson]

I have all those symptoms. Play I'm getting a PO420 code. Saying possibly that the cat is out. Still having all the symptoms of no power and poor fuel mileage

the guy with the funky shoes knows how to pop clutch ❤

my 2015 camaro v6 doesn't have sensor it has a throttle, the Idle is 500 at normal and I think is low

“Turn on the ignition switch for 2 seconds then wait another 10 seconds” wtf does that mean lol

[erikh]

Wtf is wrong with this guy? Did he not edit his video and realize he was repeating and contradicting himself?

[Jimboit]

I got lost somewhere in the first 15 seconds.

Do not not take the sensor apart Just disconnect battery and unplugged the sensor.

[kylejanik]

The audio part of your video says the disconnect the negative battery terminal with the video showing the positive battery terminal being disconnected😂😂

[olheghtt]

Why can't you just have a freaking human to talk about this!!!

[Widowmaker]

AI rubbish. It's a shame there are so many of these showing up on YouTube.

[alexguzzi]

You need to work on your wording. I'm a mechanic and it's very difficult to understand what the steps are.

[capey]

What the fk is this bloke taking about? Im confused after he said undo battery, clean sensor, reconnect battery. How the fm can you release pedel, when you haven't been instructed to press down on it first?

[mapbike]

Idle air control is what determines how much air the engine gets at idle, throttle position sensor tell the computer how far open or closed the Throttle Body butterfly is so it knows how much to ioen injectors as throttle is opened.

This video is BS

[skunkvagabond]

"Disconnect the negative" proceeds to Disconnect positive terminal...

"Locate the throttle sensor" like everyone looking for a DIY knows what that is already...


What a fucking joke

[ahmadoubarry]

THIS GUY IS PUSHING YOU TO DESTROY CAR. Do not try!!!

[pieyedirish]

Worst video ever!
And also wrong info!

To recalibrate/reset a Throttle body on a Chevy you need to Idle in Park for 3 Minutes, shutoff for 1 Minute, Idle for 3 Minutes, shutoff for 1 Minute then drive the car for a while.

This guys 2 seconds idling and 10 seconds off garbage wouldnt accomplish much considering its called a "Idle Recalibration" which typically requires more Idling than engine off....😂
