Title: Scratching Noise Near Throttle Body


EyezOn - January 5, 2012 04:24 PM (GMT)
Hey there guys

As the title says i have a sratching sound near the throttle body of my car. The mechanic diagnosed it and told me its to replace to throttle body...problems still there ...then he replaced it with another throttle body with the tps sensor but the problem just won't go away.

Ive researched quite a bit and thought id ask here as well whie I'm at it. Any help would be appreciated. =D

*edit putting it in general problems

That's a hard one to diagnose over the internet.

Is it while moving the throttle or when it is stationary?

Is it actually causing any problems?

The TPS actually makes a buzzing noise, so are you just hearing this?

Have they checked the motorized part on the other side from the TPS that controls the electronic part of the throttle?

Hope they didn't charge you for changing all that and not fixing it!

Hey there sorry for the late reply

I honestly don't think the scratching/buzzing sound car is affecting it in anyway but it only makes the noise when its stationary and its driving me CRAZY.

Unfortunatly they did charge me big money since they installed it 2 times but they just told me to sell the car in the end..(some help they were)

Ill post up a video on youtube after I finish work tomorrow ...then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about..

Thanks again =D
