How Often Should the Throttle Valve Carbon Deposit Be Cleaned?

[StReagan]

The throttle valve of a car does not need to be cleaned frequently; cleaning it every 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers is sufficient. Below is more information about the throttle valve: 1. Function: The throttle valve is a controllable valve that regulates the air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. It connects the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, often referred to as the throat of the car engine. 2. Types: There are two types of throttle valves—traditional cable-operated and electronic. In traditional engines, the throttle valve operating mechanism works via a cable (flexible steel wire) or linkage rod, with one end connected to the accelerator pedal and the other to the throttle linkage plate.
