Why is it necessary to clean the throttle valve regularly?

[ManuelMarie]

Regular cleaning of the throttle valve is necessary because a dirty throttle valve can cause issues such as engine shaking during idling, insufficient power while driving, increased fuel consumption, engine stalling, and failure to meet emission standards. The throttle valve is a controllable valve that regulates the amount of air entering the engine. Once the air enters the intake pipe, it mixes with gasoline to form a combustible mixture, which then burns to produce power. The steps for cleaning the throttle valve are as follows: 1. Turn off the ignition switch and disconnect the negative terminal of the battery; 2. Remove the throttle cable, intake hose, and screws securing the throttle valve in sequence; 3. Use a cleaning agent to clean the throttle valve, and use a cotton swab to wipe areas that are hard to reach.
