How often should the throttle be cleaned on a Sagitar?
1 Answers
The throttle cleaning interval for the Sagitar, as specified in the maintenance manual, is recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 kilometers. The exact timing depends on factors such as the vehicle's operating environment, fuel quality, and air filter replacement schedule. The reasons for cleaning the throttle are as follows: 1. As the vehicle accumulates mileage, carbon deposits naturally build up, and the throttle is particularly prone to carbon accumulation. 2. Increased carbon deposits can thicken the throttle plate. Given the throttle's precise control, even minor carbon buildup can disrupt the air intake volume, causing it to deviate from the engine computer's requirements. This leads to poor combustion, reduced engine power, and increased fuel consumption. 3. In more severe cases, carbon buildup can cause throttle sticking, resulting in symptoms like sluggish acceleration, engine vibration, higher fuel consumption, or even stalling. Therefore, regular throttle cleaning is essential.
