How to Determine if Throttle Body Cleaning is Needed?
1 Answers
Methods to determine if throttle body cleaning is needed are: 1. When the car is cold, pressing the accelerator pedal feels unsmooth, sticky, or rough; 2. While driving, there is a sensation of sluggish acceleration when stepping on the gas. Precautions for throttle cleaning include: 1. During cleaning, avoid dropping the throttle body or subjecting it to impact; 2. Before reinstalling the cable system, do not suddenly release the throttle lever; 3. After replacing or cleaning the throttle body, it is necessary to perform a recalibration between the throttle body and the electronic control unit (ECU). This allows the ECU to learn the basic characteristic parameters of the throttle body. During operation, the control unit can then automatically adjust the throttle's movements to achieve synchronized operation.
