The Correct Method for Cleaning the Throttle Body

[MacCalvin]

The correct method for cleaning the throttle body is as follows: 1. If there is a plastic heat shield cover on the engine, remove it. 2. Remove the air ducts around the throttle body and note their positions. 3. The side of the throttle body near the combustion chamber is usually dirtier, with black carbon deposits, which is the main area to clean. 4. Cleaning the throttle body mainly involves removing carbon deposits. Special cleaning solutions or carburetor cleaners can be used. These cleaners can be harmful to humans, so wear gloves and a mask during cleaning. 5. Spray the cleaner onto the areas with heavy carbon deposits on the throttle body, wait for 5-10 minutes, and use a brush to significantly speed up the cleaning process. Once the carbon deposits dissolve, wipe off the cleaner with a towel. 6. Reinstall the cleaned throttle body in its original position and reattach all air ducts.
