How Often Should the Throttle Body Be Replaced?
1 Answers
The throttle body does not have a specified replacement interval and should only be replaced when it is damaged. Below are specific details about the automotive throttle body: 1. A dirty throttle body can cause idle vibration: When the air conditioning is turned on, the compressor also operates. Since the compressor is driven by the engine, its operation increases the engine load, which in turn increases the throttle opening and the intake air volume. If the throttle body is not maintained for a long time, carbon deposits can easily form. These deposits can obstruct the engine's air intake, making it difficult or barely sufficient for the engine to drive the compressor, resulting in idle vibration. 2. Regular cleaning of the throttle body: If the driving environment is harsh, it is best to clean the throttle body regularly, recommended every 10,000 kilometers.
