Used Throttle Body

Summary

The throttle body in a vehicle is an essential component as it is responsible for regulating the amount of air that enters the engine. A damaged throttle body or even a dirty and clogged throttle body will cause issues in the engine’s air/fuel mixture. A defective throttle body will also reduce the fuel economy of your car increasing the fuel intake. Finally, it can also lead to damage to other parts of the vehicle such as the catalytic converter.

Due to this, it is imperative to replace the throttle body if you notice signs of damage to it. Replacing a bad throttle body quickly will help you preserve engine performance by making sure that the air/fuel ratio is maintained at all times. Having a throttle body in good condition is also important to make sure that the engine always has the right amount of power and performs well.

About Throttle Bodies

The throttle body in a vehicle controls the airflow in the engine. Its components include parts such as the throttle plate, throttle shaft, and valves such as the butterfly valve, barrel valve, and slide valve. When the accelerator is pushed down and released, the throttle plate opens and closes which helps to regulate the airflow.

Your vehicle could have either a mechanical throttle body or an electrical throttle body depending upon the fuel injection system of your vehicle. In a car with a fuel-injected engine, the throttle body is connected to the gas pedal. In an electronically fuel-injected engine, the throttle position and airflow sensors work in tandem with the computer to supply fuel to the injectors.

What Causes the Throttle Body to Fail?

Either a mechanical or electrical problem in the vehicle could lead to a defective throttle body. Some of the major causes of damage to the throttle body in vehicles are electrical and containment issues in the throttle body. Clogging of dirt and grime inside the valve in the throttle body can prevent the air from entering the valve, causing an imbalance in the air/fuel ratio.

Another common cause of damage to the throttle body is electrical issues such as a connectivity problem or inaccuracy in the data which can lead to poor engine performance.

If you find that your throttle body is worn out, you can get a junkyard throttle body, which works just as well as a brand-new one and additionally prevents you from having to spend a ton of money on a brand-new throttle body.

Signs it’s Time to Replace Your Throttle Body

When the throttle body of your car wears out, it will start to exhibit certain tell-tale symptoms as well as impacting the efficiency of your vehicle.

The following are some symptoms of a damaged throttle body:

Unstable or rough idle

If your car engine idle tends to jump up and down, it’s a sign for you to get it repaired or replaced.

Check engine light is on

When the throttle body is damaged, it causes the check engine light to turn, drawing your attention towards the engine.

Poor engine performance

When your car engine does not receive a proper supply of power the engine will suffer and engine performance will also suffer a major setback.

Increased fuel consumption

Have you noticed that the fuel consumption for your vehicle has started to increase of late? This might be because of a bad throttle body which leads to a strange fuel mixture affecting your vehicle’s fuel intake.

Stalling while idle

A bad throttle body will cause the RPM to become low at idle which causes the engine to die. This happens when the throttle body is polluted with dirt and residue which prevents air from entering the engine and leads to a low idle RPM.

How to Choose a Throttle Body

When the throttle body is in perfect condition the engine receives the proper amount of air/fuel ratio which allows the engine to perform well. When the throttle body is damaged, it creates an improper air-fuel mixture which causes the engine performance to deteriorate.

Here are some things you must always check before buying a used throttle body:

Do your research before you buy a throttle body. A good idea would be to read your vehicle’s user manual so that you can understand your car’s throttle body to determine what kind of replacement you should buy.
Make sure that the throttle body that you’re going to buy matches with your vehicle by cross-referencing the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of your vehicle with the used auto part.
When buying a used throttle body, bring a mechanic with you to check the condition of the auto part.
Make sure to ask about the quality of the parts used in the throttle body to ensure that it is made of high-quality material.
Try to find out the mileage of the vehicle from which the auto part has been obtained. You should try to buy used throttle bodies from a low mileage vehicle since that reduces the chances of the throttle body being worn down and damaged.
Check that there is a standard warranty on the used throttle body.
Check for any leakages, spills, broken parts, cracks, etc. on the used throttle bodies.

If reading this has left you confused about which used throttle body to buy, why not check out our inventory of used throttle bodies for sale at BackToRoad Auto Parts.

Benefits of Buying Used Throttle Bodies

The most appealing benefit of buying used throttle bodies is their cost-effectiveness. Getting an OEM used throttle body is much cheaper than getting a brand-new OEM throttle body. If you make sure to buy a used throttle body that is in good condition, it will perform much like a new throttle body but at a fraction of the price.

Secondly, used throttle bodies are eco-friendly. Purchasing a used throttle body will greatly reduce your carbon footprint. This is because buying a used car part extends the life of the auto part and recycling is great for the environment. Making such wise decisions in your daily life will tremendously benefit the environment in the long run.

General Questions on Used Throttle Body

Will a defective throttle body damage the engine of the vehicle?

A defective throttle body can lead to the engine having a lack of proper supply of power which will cause the engine to suffer and engine performance to deteriorate. A damaged throttle body can also cause issues with the engine’s air/fuel mixture which might cause engine performance to degenerate.

Can I drive with a bad throttle body?

It is not advised to drive with a damaged throttle body as this could lead to the vehicle stalling due to a poor supply of air and power, which can in turn cause accidents once on the road. So, the safe thing to do if you notice signs of damage to the throttle body is to get it replaced quickly.

An OEM replacement throttle body usually costs around $500-$850 depending upon the make and model of your car. Meanwhile, a used throttle body will cost anywhere in the range of $50-$250 depending upon the make and model of your car.

Should I buy a used OEM throttle body instead of a new/aftermarket throttle body?

OEM parts or Original Equipment Manufacturer parts are tailor-made by the car manufacturer for certain car makes and models while aftermarket parts are mass-produced by a company other than your car manufacturer, to fit the specifications of several vehicles. Although aftermarket parts are normally less expensive than OEM parts, they may not necessarily suit the car perfectly, unlike OEM parts.
