How to fix a throttle body problem on a 2008 Cadillac CTS?
Years 2008-2014

Answer

When a throttle body on a 2008 Cadillac CTS no longer works well the most common symptoms are: engine jerking not only in ignition but also while driving. These shots become more and more intense and noisy and frequent. In all these cases it is necessary to clean the throttle body which is the main mechanism that introduces the air flow into the carburetor to obtain the right mixture and to regulate the right number of engine revolutions per minute. If even after cleaning the throttle body, the problem persists, you may need to replace it.
