This just saved me $300 bucks. The video is perfect! I just did mine, but took a step further and removed the throttle body altogether. That allowed me to clean both sides very well and not worry about anything falling in. Easy going. Quick work.

Good advice on hose that falls off

Great video, Rick. The (2015) part over the throttle body is Part No.: 13372201 (DUCT ASM-A/CL OTLT) and the PCV hose on the top side (the hose he removed last) is Part No.: 12620302 (HOSE-PCV). I just had this off this morning to replace both parts because my body shop broke them and tried cheap repairs on the top plastic nib (glue) and electrical tape around the oil reservoir side of the PCV hose. It was idling a little rough and acceleration was weaker than expected. Quick road test after the repairs and things seem to be smoother now. My new issue is the hose (part # TBD) of the C-shaped hose that is on the right side of the duct assembly. That had a crack in it too. It looks like it goes from the duct assembly to just under the throttle body. Should be cheap and easy to fix but GM didn't seem to want to number it. If anyone has any leads on this as a part number please comment. I guess the point of all this is to inspect all those hoses and replace as needed.

I agree with cleaning the throttle, but I might have to disagree on the method of gaining access to the area. I say this because it is a bad idea to manhandle the throttle plate of an electronically controlled throttle body. Under the black plastic cover on the right side (as viewed from standing in front of the engine) there are plastic/ or fragile metal gears that drive the plate via info provided (voltages) by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Moving the plate manually can either cause the gears to break, or skip a tooth (or teeth). When this happens the plate can no longer move where it is electrically being told to go. This could cause the vehicle to go into “Limp Mode” as a safety precaution. Because the PCM is not sure what the throttle plate position is it does this to prevent either a Wide Open Throttle (WOT). It’ll just give you enough power to “Limp” off the road. Best to use someone to gently press the accelerator, and use a newer throttle body/ intake valve cleaner with a longer, fixed hose that won’t shoot off. I do agree with the hose comment. Just happened to me yesterday with a can of silicon lubricant. Hose shot right out as I pressed the spray button. That would be bad news if it were to go inside if your running engine!!!

Thanks for the advice. I had heard that you shouldnt move the throttle body by hand but didn't know why. Now I know.
