Throttle Body
Houses the throttle plate that controls airflow, and on drive-by-wire engines the motor that positions it. Carbon accumulates around the plate edge and changes the closed position the module has learned, which is why cleaning one usually requires a relearn afterwards.
Also known as: throttle, throttle housing, throttle valve, dbw throttle, electronic throttle body, etb

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
