Generally, the cleaning cycle for a car's throttle body should be after the vehicle has been driven approximately 20,000-30,000 kilometers. Below are the methods for cleaning the throttle body: 1. Over time, carbon deposits will inevitably form in the throttle body. If a large amount of carbon buildup is present and not cleaned promptly, it can gradually increase the car's fuel consumption. Cleaning the throttle body is quite simple. You can directly remove the engine's throttle body, and then you will notice a significant amount of oil residue on its surface. You can spray a specialized engine cleaner onto the throttle body and then wipe it clean with a damp cloth. 2. Remove the intake hose, then use a screwdriver or a plastic rod to open the throttle plate. Next, use carburetor cleaner and a cloth to wipe away the carbon deposits. Cleaning the carbon buildup around the circumference means the cleaning is successful. Reinstall the intake hose. The final step is crucial: for some car models, after cleaning the throttle body, you need to use a computer to relearn the idle speed.
