How to Clean the Throttle Body?

[ONova]

Throttle body cleaning methods: Disassemble and clean the throttle body by removing the entire throttle body assembly, then thoroughly clean it with a specialized cleaning agent before reinstalling. However, since the throttle valve continuously opens and closes during engine operation, causing direct wear with the throttle body, the two worn surfaces can maintain a tight fit before disassembly. If the assembly position is altered after disassembly, it may result in improper sealing and cause malfunctions. For a no-disassembly cleaning method, spray throttle valve cleaner onto a cloth and wipe the throttle body directly. This method does not require disassembling the throttle body; only the intake pipe needs to be removed to expose the throttle body. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine, available in traditional cable-operated and electronic throttle types. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture for combustion and power generation.
