Hi There,

Recently I changed my Cam belt, 20 valves and Tensioner etc.. .Before that i don not have car starting problem.
After replacing all the above parts, now it is giving car starting problem.When i asked the mechanic he says that there is throttle problem you need to replace it..
He checked it using some scanner device..

Do i need to replace it or is there any way which i can solve this without replacing.

Your help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks & Regards

There is no way for me to know for sure whether it needs to be replaced. I know that many times they can be cleaned and they are fine. You can buy cleaner for them. You should also check all of the wiring that you disturbed while doing all of this work. You might have caused a bad connection somewhere.
