What are the symptoms of excessive carbon buildup in a manual transmission throttle body?
1 Answers
If the throttle body is excessively dirty, it will lead to insufficient engine air intake, resulting in issues such as engine shaking, sluggish acceleration, and increased fuel consumption. Causes of carbon buildup: In congested urban driving conditions, vehicles often idle on the road, causing incomplete fuel combustion, which is a significant reason for carbon buildup. Due to substandard fuel quality, unsaturated olefins and other substances in the fuel can produce coking-like substances after high-temperature combustion. Hazards of excessive carbon buildup: If there is too much carbon buildup in the throttle body, it will affect the engine's idle speed and air intake, causing the engine to shake during idle operation.
