Re: 2003 Ram Hemi Electronic Throttle Control malfunction
I removed the throttle body and did clean it (carburetor cleaner soaked rags). Re-installed it and it worked like new. This lasted about two months. Now the throttle body sensor light keeps coming on and causing the truck to go into "limp" mode (lower power, higher fuel consumption). I simply disconnect the battery for a few seconds and it will clear the trouble codes. Then it will work just fine for a couple of weeks.
Guess I'll just keep doing that as opposed to spending 530 bucks on a new throttle body.
Sad to think that there is such a widespread problem with these vehicles and there isn't a definitive fix for it.
