  1. Kjellfrid Bergstrøm-Halvorsen

    Replaced throttle body on my 2022 Genesis GV80 3.5T Prestige (3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 Lambda 375 HP) after the throttle motor failed and threw P2101 code. Vaz immediately emphasized the engine-specific distinction (3.5L TT V6 throttle body different from 2.5L Turbo) and confirmed I needed the 3.5T variant. Sourced from a 2022 Genesis G90 donor (same 3.5L TT V6 Lambda engine family cross-reference). Throttle plate operation verified, TPS function confirmed, no carbon buildup. Installed at Genesis deal

  2. Ramona Filipescu-Petrescu

    Bought throttle body for my 2023 Genesis GV80 2.5T Advanced+ (2.5L Turbo I4 300 HP) after the throttle plate was sticking from carbon buildup and cleaning didn’t fully resolve. Vaz confirmed I needed 2.5T variant (different from 3.5T). Sourced from a 2022 Genesis GV70 donor (same 2.5L Turbo engine family). One star off because I tried throttle body cleaning first per their advice but the issue was more severe than carbon – the throttle motor was actually failing intermittently. Once I confirmed

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the 2.5T and 3.5T GV80 use the same throttle body?

NO. Different throttle bodies. The 2.5L Turbo I4 (300 HP, 2.5T trims) and 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 Lambda (375 HP, 3.5T trims) use different throttle bodies due to different intake manifold and engine design. The 2.5L Turbo has a smaller throttle body suited to its I4 configuration and 300 HP output. The 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 has a larger throttle body for the higher airflow requirements of the V6 producing 375 HP. SPECIFY YOUR ENGINE at order – 2.5T trims use one throttle body, 3.5T trims use the other.

What is drive-by-wire throttle and how does it work?

Drive-by-wire (electronic throttle control or ETC) replaces the traditional mechanical throttle cable with electronic control. How it works: (1) Driver presses accelerator pedal. (2) Electronic pedal position sensor measures pedal angle and sends signal to ECM (Engine Control Module). (3) ECM processes signal along with other inputs (traction control, stability control, cruise control, drive mode setting). (4) ECM sends command signal to electric throttle motor in throttle body. (5) Throttle motor opens/closes throttle plate to commanded angle. Benefits: precise electronic control, traction/stability intervention, cruise control integration, drive mode throttle mapping (Comfort vs Sport response), idle control without separate IAC valve. The GV80 uses modern drive-by-wire throttle.

My check engine light came on with throttle codes. What's wrong?

Common throttle-related codes and causes: P2101-P2110 (throttle actuator control) – throttle motor failure or wiring issue. P0121-P0124 (throttle position sensor) – TPS failure or signal issue. P2122-P2138 (pedal position sensor) – electronic pedal failure (different component). P1518 (Hyundai-specific throttle position malfunction). Diagnosis required to determine if throttle body itself failed or related component (pedal, wiring, ECM). Throttle body cleaning may resolve carbon-related issues without replacement. Specific code, scan tool data, and possibly bench testing determine actual failure point.

Why is ECM throttle relearning required after replacement?

Drive-by-wire throttle requires ECM to learn the specific throttle body’s full range of motion and idle position. Reasons: (1) Manufacturing tolerances – each throttle body slightly different. (2) ECM uses learned positions for accurate control. (3) Without relearning, ECM may not know correct closed/idle position causing rough idle, stalling, surging. (4) Adaptive learning – ECM continuously refines positions over time, replacement requires fresh learning. Procedure typically requires scan tool: connect to OBD-II port, command throttle relearn procedure, ECM cycles throttle through full range and stores learned positions. 5-15 minutes at dealer or capable shop. Without relearning, vehicle may run poorly until ECM gradually learns (sometimes takes weeks).

I have a Hyundai Palisade with 2.5L Turbo. Will GV80 2.5T throttle body fit?

Possibly yes for cross-reference. The Hyundai-Kia 2.5L Turbo engine family is used across multiple vehicles including Genesis G70/G80/GV70/GV80, some Hyundai/Kia models. Throttle bodies often cross-reference within engine family because the engine is the same architecture. However, specific applications may have slightly different throttle body programming or mounting configurations. Verify with VIN cross-reference. Note: 2.5L Turbo in Genesis vs Hyundai/Kia may have different output ratings depending on tuning, but throttle body hardware often shares.

Can throttle body cleaning resolve issues without replacement?

Sometimes yes. Carbon buildup on throttle plate and walls is a common cause of throttle issues – the buildup restricts airflow and prevents smooth plate movement. Cleaning procedure: (1) Remove intake to access throttle body. (2) Spray throttle body cleaner on plate and walls (use specific throttle body cleaner, not just carb cleaner – some throttle bodies have coatings that can be damaged). (3) Clean carefully with soft brush. (4) Reinstall. (5) Perform ECM throttle relearn (changing position may have shifted learned values). Cleaning costs $50-150 at shop vs $300-1,000+ for replacement. Try cleaning first if issue is plate sticking. Replacement needed for motor failure, TPS failure, or housing damage.

How do I install the throttle body?

Moderate work: (1) Disconnect battery negative for safety. (2) Remove engine cover/intake assembly to access throttle body. (3) Disconnect electrical connector from throttle body. (4) Disconnect coolant hoses if equipped (some throttle bodies have coolant lines for heating in cold weather). (5) Remove throttle body mounting bolts. (6) Remove old throttle body. (7) Install new throttle body with new gasket. (8) Tighten bolts to specified torque. (9) Reconnect electrical, coolant lines. (10) Reinstall intake assembly. (11) Reconnect battery. (12) PERFORM ECM THROTTLE RELEARN with scan tool. (13) Start and verify operation. 2-3 hours at shop including relearn.

How does shipping work?

Free shipping to all 50 US states. Throttle body weighs 2-4 lbs in padded box with throttle plate protection. UPS or FedEx Ground. 3-7 business days. Bubble wrap, electrical connector and throttle plate protected to prevent damage in transit. Mounting surfaces protected.
