I have cleaned them on both nbs and nnbs numerous times, moved the plate to get it all clean inside and out, never had to relearn anything, I even changed my nnbs to a LS7 throttle body it was plug-n-play 100% and I have cleaned that one also. However some people do run into issue's for some reason.......

I've cleaned many a throttle body over the yrs with the key off and never had to do a relearn?

There is a relearn procedure. Iirc it’s something like start truck, do not touch gas pedal, idle for 5 min, shut it off, do same like 3 more times and it should be fine. Something like that, ive posted it a few times. If not I’ve heard it takes a few miles for it to settle in..but will get there. I did mine and grabbed everything, moved every, sprayed everthing, didnt give it a second thought, did the idle relearn procedure and had no problems. Eventually, no matter what, the truck will learn and right itself

I had to do relearn after cleaning my air filter ..

happened on my GM car

it cleared up and ran better though


it's one of those WTF moments. it was a 03 drive by wire
