Is it necessary to replace the throttle body?
1 Answers
The throttle body does not need to be replaced if it is functioning normally and has no faults. Precautions for cleaning the throttle body are as follows: 1. Remove the throttle body for cleaning: This ensures thorough cleaning. Avoid spraying cleaning fluid in only one direction or onto the electrical components of the throttle body, as this may cause severe damage. 2. Spray cleaning fluid onto areas with heavy carbon buildup: Wait 5-10 minutes for the carbon deposits to dissolve, then use a clean brush to scrub and wipe with a clean towel. 3. Cleaning the throttle body helps maintain vehicle performance: It is recommended that owners clean the throttle body regularly, typically every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers.
