Helping a buddy swap an engine in an 02. Got the car to idle but will not rev. Does the throttle body have to be adapted in these cars, and if so is there a procedure or is this a dealer only deal? I searched around a little, but didn't see anything. Any help would be appreciated as I need this thing out of my garage.
I don't think throttle adaptions are going to help you but I believe the procedure is key the vehicle on and slowly press the accelerator to the floor 3 times.
The throttle body has nothing to do with actual throttle of the engine. The throttle is controlled by the valvetronic system. The throttle body should be wide open when the engine is running.
