About the Cardone Fuel Injection Throttle Body Product Line
The Cardone Fuel Injection Throttle Body line focuses on delivering reliable and direct-fit throttle bodies designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.

The 6E-9006 model is part of this line, providing a seamless replacement option for specific Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
Detailed Product Description
This electronic throttle body features a 60 mm bore diameter and a 70 mm inlet diameter, allowing for accurate air intake control. The aluminum housing with a gray finish offers corrosion resistance and structural integrity. Unlike some throttle bodies, this model does not include an idle air control motor, reflecting its design to work with the vehicle’s integrated engine management system. The attached coolant hoses maintain throttle valve temperature, preventing icing in cold conditions. The 6E-9006 throttle body requires a relearn calibration procedure after installation to ensure proper operation.
Common Applications and Issues Addressed
- Restores proper throttle response in Hyundai Optima and Kia Sonata
- Resolves rough idling or stalling caused by faulty throttle bodies
- Eliminates throttle hesitation and poor acceleration
- Addresses electronic throttle body failure symptoms such as check engine light illumination
- Prevents issues related to throttle valve icing in cold weather
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 6E-9006 throttle body, it is important to follow the relearn calibration procedure to reset the vehicle’s engine control module. Do not bypass the coolant hoses attached to the throttle body, as they are essential for maintaining proper throttle valve temperature. No modifications are necessary for installation on compatible Hyundai Optima and Kia Sonata models. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and free of corrosion before completing installation.
