How to Clean a Car Throttle Body?

[Mitchell]

There are two methods for cleaning a car throttle body: 1. Non-disassembly cleaning: Simply spray throttle body cleaner onto a cloth or directly onto the throttle body, then wipe it clean; 2. Disassembly cleaning requires removing the entire throttle body assembly, thoroughly cleaning it with a specialized cleaner, and then reinstalling it. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine, often referred to as the engine's "throat." After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. The depth to which the driver presses the accelerator pedal determines the throttle opening, which in turn controls the engine's power output.
