Detailed Description

Hitachi ETB0072 electronic throttle body is designed to deliver accurate airflow control for drive-by-wire systems. The unit uses quality materials and protected circuitry to maintain stable throttle response, consistent fuel delivery, and reliable engine management under demanding operating conditions. This throttle body is a direct-fit solution for many GM vehicles that use a 65 mm electric throttle body with an integrated throttle position sensor, including 2008-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2010-2011 Chevrolet Equinox, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR. This part cross-references GM 12631186 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Throttle hesitation or delayed accelerator response
• Rough idle caused by throttle body wear or contamination
• Electronic throttle control faults related to sensor or circuit issues
• Reduced fuel economy from inaccurate throttle mapping
• Driveability problems tied to unstable airflow control
