Is Computer Matching Required After Cleaning the Throttle Body?

[AshlynLynn]

Computer matching is required after cleaning the throttle body because carbon deposits can cause the throttle opening to expand. If not reset after cleaning, the throttle opening will remain in the state before carbon buildup, leading to increased air intake and resulting in unstable idling or excessively high engine speed. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. The air mixes with fuel in the intake manifold to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to generate power. Connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, it is often referred to as the throat of the car engine. The responsiveness of acceleration is closely related to the cleanliness of the throttle body, and keeping it clean ensures the engine runs smoothly and powerfully.
