How to learn about the throttle body on a Punto 188

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Throttle body

In this video, we can follow the self-learning procedure of the throttle body of a Fiat Punto 188, which in this case is one of the simplest. After replacing the valve, we must turn on the ignition, being careful to keep all devices (air conditioning, headlights, rear window defogger, and whatever else) turned off; we wait a few seconds. We will hear a "clack" sound coming from the hood, and that's it: procedure completed. Let's see in detail how it works with a visual example: turning on the ignition, the throttle body moved, but we leave the ignition on for a few seconds: we will hear a background hum and then the throttle body automatically takes its position, calibrating itself.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
