Cadillac XT5 throttle body removal method: 1. First, use a 10mm socket to remove the engine guard plate, then remove the intake plastic pipe; 2. Next, remove the pipe on the intake rubber hose, use an 8mm socket to loosen the clamp screw near the throttle body; 3. Then loosen the screw on the other end and remove the intake rubber hose between the air filter and the throttle body; 4. Remove the rubber hose of the carbon canister purge valve, use pliers to clamp the clamp, and then pull it out. More details are as follows: 1. The throttle body is an important component of the vehicle, located between the air filter and the intake manifold. It is a controllable valve used to regulate air entering the engine and needs regular cleaning to avoid issues like unstable idle speed. 2. There is no strict rule on how often to clean the throttle body, as it largely depends on driving habits and environment. Clean it when it gets dirty, typically around every 20,000 kilometers. 3. When cleaning the throttle body, note that the entire throttle body can get very dirty. Do not disconnect the throttle body's electrical connector during the entire cleaning process to maintain a secure connection. It's best to use carburetor cleaner for cleaning, but be aware that it is somewhat corrosive. When cleaning it yourself, prepare a pair of gloves to avoid skin contact with the cleaner.
