Throttle body relearn

[Kenny D]

I cleaned my throttle body and did the idle relearn but if idling in park at 600ish, I can tap my throttle and the idle shoots up to 3000 and takes forever to come back down unless I hold the brake hard and put it in gear, then it'll drop down and then go in gear. . Whats up with that? I got a trip to go on Friday and need it not to screw up on me

Hey kenny... give a few days with stop and go driving with highway and it will get back to normal... it’s gotta relearn. there is a procedure and it has to be done before you key on or something

That's what I gather, I did the idle 3 min, off 1 min, idle 3 min.

Just keep driving it.

the initial relearn is just so the computer can learn how to keep the engine running and operating. after that it has to relearn how to run it efficiently again.

Don't ever ever ever. touch the throttle body unless you absolutely have too. i drove my for weeks cause a lot people said they same. and it NEVER!! came down. finally I took it to the garage down the street for $50 and less than 5 mins they had me on my way. i have 387000 miles. and she runs great.

I cleaned mine the other day. Used a stick to hold the throttle open with the key on. A little seafoam deep creep, a tooth brush and clean cloth with a shot of carb cleaner and she purrs.

That is strange.

I have also done my 06 off the truck, even moving the butterfly carefully by hand with no ill consequence.
