February 17th, 2010 05:48 AM #1Aside from stalling and idling behaving erratically, are there legitimate dangers to a supposedly malfunctioning throttle body that needs replacement?
I just ask because casas always go for replacement, and I am wondering what the dangers are in not following what they want to happen.
I did some reading on here and read about an Optra that was advised to replace throttle body but the owner did not. It seems it was incorrectly diagnosed and he got a good running car without replacing the throttle body.
My car is a civic 07 AT. TIA.

Well, the problem could just be a dirty sensor or a faulty sensor than can be replaced cheaper than the whole assembly.
Casa never fixes components, they prefer to replace entire assemblies.
I suggest to go to a non-casa car shop to have a better diagnosis of the problem.
A shop like SPEEDLAB (located at Quezon Ave, tel 3764648/3764651) can help you just as well as the casa or even better.

February 17th, 2010 09:47 AM #4+2. my ride had erratic idling. hitting 1800rpm idling after running for a kilometer.bought it to suki mechanic and he disassembled the throttle body.
as in lahat ng may turnilyo e binuksan. he said nothing seems to be broken and binalik nya uli. ayun ayos na idling. stays at 900-1000rpm.
it's been more than a month and so far no problems recurring.

there are instances that the whole throttle body need to be replaced this hold true with the throttle by wire systems. most IAC or TPS on these TB are not serviceable.
