Component
Transmission
Repair Time
2-4 hours

Safety Warnings

  • ⚠Disconnect battery before working on electrical systems.
  • ⚠Allow engine to cool before opening the throttle body.

Symptoms

  • •Delay in acceleration after stopping
  • •Engine revs without immediate vehicle movement
  • •Rough or jerky starts from a stop
  • •Check engine light may be illuminated
  • •Poor fuel economy
  • •Increased engine RPMs when accelerating

Diagnostic Steps

  1. 1Scan for error codes using an OBD-II scanner to identify any stored trouble codes.
  2. 2Check automatic transmission fluid level and condition.
  3. 3Inspect the throttle body for carbon buildup or obstruction.
  4. 4Test the throttle position sensor (TPS) for proper voltage and function.
  5. 5Verify the operation of the transmission control module (TCM) and its connections.
  6. 6Conduct a visual inspection of the accelerator pedal assembly and linkages.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather tools and parts for repair.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
  • Allow the engine to cool down before working on the throttle body.

2. Inspect and Clean Throttle Body

  • Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body.
  • Use a throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding areas.
  • Ensure the throttle plate moves freely without obstruction.
  • Reinstall the air intake duct securely.

3. Check and Replace Throttle Position Sensor (if faulty)

  • Locate the throttle position sensor on the throttle body.
  • Disconnect the electrical connector from the TPS.
  • Unscrew and remove the old TPS.
  • Install the new TPS, ensuring it is properly aligned and secured.
  • Reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Transmission Fluid Check

  • Locate the transmission dipstick or fill plug (if applicable).
  • Remove the dipstick and check fluid level; add fluid as necessary to reach the recommended level.
  • If fluid is dark or burnt, consider a transmission fluid change.

5. Reconnect Battery and Test

  • Reconnect the battery terminals.
  • Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
  • Conduct a test drive to confirm that the acceleration issue is resolved.

Verification

After completing the repair, verify that the issue has been resolved:

  • Test the affected component to ensure it functions correctly
  • Check for any error codes or warning lights
  • Monitor the vehicle for a few days to ensure the issue does not recur

Prevention Tips

To prevent this issue from occurring again:

  • •Follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule
  • •Address warning signs early before they develop into major issues
  • •Use quality parts and fluids recommended for your vehicle
  • •Keep detailed records of all repairs and maintenance

Tools & Equipment Required

  • OBD-II scanner
  • Socket set
  • Throttle body cleaner
  • Screwdriver set

Parts Required

  • Throttle position sensor (if replacement is necessary)
  • Transmission fluid (if topping off or changing)
