Cleaning the throttle body can remove carbon deposits, improve the accuracy of air intake and fuel injection, enhance fuel efficiency, and extend the engine's service life. Prolonged neglect of throttle body cleaning can lead to throttle opening errors and allow impurities from the air to enter the engine combustion chamber. The method for cleaning the throttle body is as follows: Throttle Body Cleaning Method: Matching with instruments is required. Apply cleaning spray and wipe with a cloth. After removing the throttle body, you may notice significant oil stains and adhered dirt and impurities both inside and outside. Spray the cleaning agent on the dirty areas and then wipe with a cloth. Pay attention to the crevices where dirt tends to accumulate during wiping. Precautions for Throttle Body Cleaning: When reinstalling the cleaned throttle body, apply some engine oil at the bottom to prevent damage to the rubber components of the interface. After installation, check the throttle body's status using a VAS-5053 data cable. The inspection should be performed when the water temperature reaches 90 degrees and the air conditioning is turned off.
