What is used to clean the throttle body?
1 Answers
The throttle body is cleaned with dedicated throttle body cleaning fluid or cleaner. The steps for cleaning the throttle body are: 1. Open the hood and locate the engine's throttle body; 2. Use a flat-head screwdriver to remove the air filter and intake pipe, then unplug the electrical socket on the throttle body; 3. After removing the screws, take off the throttle body and use a dry cloth to plug the engine intake to prevent dirt from entering the engine; 4. Spray the cleaner onto the throttle body. The throttle body is a controllable valve that regulates air entering the engine. After entering the intake pipe, the air mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to create power. The throttle body is connected to the air filter at the top and the engine block at the bottom, and is referred to as the throat of the automobile engine.
