Keep the air flowing into your engine under precise electronic control with the Hitachi Astemo Fuel Injection Throttle Body / Electronic Throttle Body, part number ETB0043, a brand-new unit listed under both names. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, which cover many vehicles, among them the 2011-2012 Ram 1500, the 2005-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and the 2011-2012 Ram 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The engine computer commands an electronic throttle body to open and close its throttle plate, which regulates how much air enters the engine. The throttle body's position sensor reports the plate's position back to the computer. Hitachi builds its ETBs around the following features:
- Accuracy and quick response: Hitachi designs its electronic throttle bodies for exceptional accuracy and fast response times.
- High-quality materials: Selected to help keep the unit from deforming or malfunctioning, even under extreme conditions.
- Precision TPS circuitry: The throttle position sensor circuitry helps keep engine mapping accurate, which supports normal fuel economy, performance and emissions control.
- Durability details: Internal gear sizes, tooth count, materials and protected circuitry are chosen to help make the unit durable and reliable.
Each Hitachi electronic throttle body is designed to meet the specific needs of the vehicle it is built for.
Signs this part may need replacing: a rough or unstable idle, hesitation or sluggish throttle response, stalling, reduced-power mode, or an illuminated check engine light. Other faults can cause these same symptoms, so diagnose the system before you replace anything. If the throttle body is the cause, the ETB0043 replaces it.
