RyanG Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Have an ambulance in here with intermittent complete loss of power. Found throttle plate intermittently closing. If I unplug it the truck runs fine. I cant remember, is it ok to run it like this due to an old reprogram which I thought eliminated operation or should it be replaced? Parts says its discontinued.

Matt Saunoras Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 You could remove the plate from the throttle body altogether but do this off the vehicle. It's just 2 tiny torx screws and the plate comes right out leaving the actuator and sensor electronically functional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanG Posted August 8, 2017 Author Share Posted August 8, 2017 I left it unplugged. Customer was ok with it since its used as a backup and for special events. Thanks for the response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
