How to Clean the Throttle Body Properly?

[LydiaDella]

Cleaning the throttle body involves the following steps: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery; 2. Remove the throttle cable, intake hose, and the screws securing the throttle body in sequence; 3. Use a cleaning agent to clean the throttle body, and for hard-to-reach areas, use a cotton swab for wiping. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air intake into the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. Symptoms of throttle body malfunction include: 1. Engine failing to start or idling roughly, unstable operation, and fluctuating RPM; 2. Constant engine RPM, uncontrollable operation, and illumination of the malfunction indicator light; 3. Noticeable sluggishness in vehicle acceleration; 4. Abnormal noises from the exhaust pipe.
