Any videos on cleaning throttle body, and thx for the videos

I sure don't sorry. Cleaning the throttle body is a little tougher job because it's harder to get to.

Would an electrical connector spray work the same or is there something special about the mass air flow cleaner? Thanks for the video! I have a too lean code p0171 coming up. Figured id try this before changing o2 sensors
@REALmarktheshark2 жыл бұрын
It may work but I'm not 100% sure on that. I use the mass air flow cleaner because it's a good solvent and it evaporates really fast
@drewelling44412 жыл бұрын
I tried it and it seemed to work good. Also quick drying and same brand. From what i looked into its potentially the same stuff just renamed for extra sales. Its called electronic cleaner. On my civic hybrid the sensor was right on top so no need to move air box. Thanks for the video. I reset my engine light and so far good. About 100 miles on it today and It was coming on around 50 miles when i reset it before so im hopeful!

Well i reset code with my scan tool so im hoping it wont come back on. Was driving fine but my gas mileage has been a little less then normal so hoping that will go back up and code will stay off!

Good possibility, it's not hard to do. Couple screws and it comes right out. It's delicate so just don't drop it. Alteast if it doesn't fix your issue, you can rule it out👍
