Don't Clean throttle body before watching this/Cleaning cable controlled or Electrical Throttle body

[@ahmedghaznavi]

This method is good when throttle body is slightly dirty. But if it’s too dirty better to open it and then clean from inner side too. Secondly never spray directly inside the throttle body when it’s attached all the dirt goes into intake. Better to apply spray on clean cloth and then clean it. That’s how i clean electric throttle of my cars.

As an auto tech myself, opening the throttle valve with the key in 2nd and using the acceleration pedal is the smart method. Thank you for showing people the correct way to do it.

[@eaglerider94]

What happens if it's moved with the ignition off? Also, do all electric TB's open when the ignition is on without the motor running when the gas pedal is pressed? My doesn't on my BMW e39.

[@benitoloco899]

@eaglerider94 if you manually move the throttle plate with your hand when it's a drive by wire system, you can easily mess up the throttle plate position and will have to have it recalibrated. Also, when you turned the vehicle ignition into second (without turning the engine on) did you press on the gas pedal and had it held down?

[@benitoloco899]

@eaglerider94 You might want to look up some service info for that procedure if you did have the gas pedal pressed down and held with the vehicle ignition in second. Otherwise, I'd ask the BMW dealer about it. German cars can sometimes be quirky and sensitive around stuff like that.

@@benitoloco899 Thanks again, as I said in your other reply, I got lucky and didn't mess it up. The big task is removing the entire intake manifold in preparation for the CCV and other parts to arrive.

I have a 2010 WV beetle with a 2.5 automatic. I noticed recently more hesitation while shifting. I followed your technique of using in my case a piece of wood to keep the throttle plate open. Its interesting how clean it looked from the outside, but after the seafoam spray it was like black ⚫️ tar coming from it. I felt resistance against the motor (buzzing noice) once I bumped the throttle plate. I was able to lightly brush the plate. After about 10 minutes of cleaning, i started the car up. Quicker starting, quieter idling, and consistently better shifting. Thats just from driving down my street. Thank you sir for your help. Eveything i needed was already home for some time so basically it was free maintenance.

Good points! Today I cleaned my electrical throttle body with Gumout cleaner, my ignition is a push start and I don't have the option to leave it open the way you did with the long rod. Yes I did get the engine light, but after cleaning and spraying into the throttle body little at the time while revving the engine afterwards the Kia Niro accelerated like a champ, I almost could not feel it and small hills became easier to climb and I could feel the air going through very well with a roar. I also did have a 16OZ B12 Chemtrol cleaner for the fuel. Now I will be clearing the engine light soon.

[@sumanravichandran9107]

What codes did you get on the check engine light? I have 2018 Camry and my throttle body is not opening on key accessory position. is there any other way or should I move it by hand?

[@Luigi13]

@@sumanravichandran9107 The only way to open the throttle is by using a clean piece of wood or a hard plastic material to avoid scratching it . It is like a spring it will open and then spray the chemical a little at a time inbetween each spray when I rev the engine I close it by not touching it it goes back the way it is when you first start. And then rev it a little bit and spray gently again and again each time revving the engine at 2K RPM not to eceed 3K rpm. This was my experience towards the end I sprayed an 1/8 of a can and let it sit with the engine off, for about 45 minutes and took it for a drive. Drove for about 10-12 miles and it run beautifully? I have about 31.5K miles on my Kia Niro.

[@EricJones1969]

A little add up: -if you won't let it to dry, car may be hard to start for the first time because of fumes of cleaner left in the intake -if you have modern throttle position sensor it may need some time for ECU to readjust after cleaning. So it will be good if you replace ECU fuse before start cleaning and put it back after you reassemble all the parts.

! WARNING ! Remove the throttle body completely to avoid damaging your intake manifold. Throttle body cleaner melts plastic on contact. At least in my engine, there is a plastic cylinder just behind the throttle body lining the intake manifold. If you spray cleaner into the body like this, it will get behind and onto that plastic and will melt the surface. This will make the surface of the cylinder rough and pock-marked, at the least. Furthermore, You won't be able to clean the inner throttle body behind the plate without removing the body. A lot of carbon builds up on the other side of the plate. If you want to see how quickly the cleaner melts plastic, just find a piece of plastic you don't care about damaging and squirt some on it. I dripped some onto a paper towel sitting on some plastic under my hood and it melted the plastic underneath, fusing the paper towel to the plastic in seconds.

Agree on the best way is to disconnect battery, remove throttle body to clean and avoid spraying down intake. Carb cleaners are to harsh for a throttle body. It will strip the coating that most of the modern vehicles come with. Stick to 'Throttle Body Cleaner. As for 'relearns, disconnect battery to clear computer of all old parametrs, to make sure computer has cleared all old parameters, touch both positive and negative cables together (both cables removed from battery terminals.) Reconnect battery terminals, turn off all electrical items in vechicle, lights, radio, ac, wipers etc.,idle vehicle till in the normal temperature range 185°- 210°, this relearns new idle postions, shut off for about a minute, restart, take it for a drive for it to learn new set of shift points. This is how to get good results, by starting anew and fresh!! So now you know why 'true mechanics charge to do this service. It's not just cleaning the throttle body.

@@royquesada5295 Do you think you have to do that also on a 2005 Pontiac grand prix or is that procedure for newer vehicles?

[@royquesada5295]

@@jonmo2694 ...I believe in erasing old parameters from vehicles that have electronically equipped throttle bodies after cleaning. It's like rebooting your phone or laptop.

I bought Motul P1 Carbu Clean a few days ago. It says, start the car and spray the cleaner through throttle. I cleaned my throttle body past with brake cleaner without starting the car. And now my problem is due to cleaning with brake cleaner I think idle air control valve or valve positioning sensor was damaged or the dirt inside throttle was moved to sensor or stuck in the idle air controler somewhere. I wish this Motul product will solve my problems. Here is my question, should I remove the throttle body completely or this is not so necessary? How can clean IAC valve and my positioning sensor? Thanks.

Very nice thank you for the valuable information, greetings to you

[@AliMECH]

Glad it was helpful!

[@edwardanthony7283]

Good video. Did this a few times on my cable controlled Explorer & Mirage throttle bodies but did not use towel to clean residue. Never knew they made an electrical throttle body. Don't like that idea in case of an uncontrollable surge.

[@AliMECH]

Thanks for watching, most of modern cars these day comes with electronic throttle bodies

[@theroyalone7588]

How do you know if it’s cabled controlled or electrical?

[@azbora]

I would not inject in a throttle body like this with a VAG throttle bodies because because they break internally (circuit board) , but just wipe it with a cloth and clean the valve, it's best to completely disassemble the throttle for better results

The key on/ pedal push method was new to me! I removed mine fully on 2006 Tundra 4.7 and really carefully did open gently, as well as a few on engine cleanups. Seems no harm done, just a clean TB!

[@JB-qj1mq]

My throttle body is not opening when the ignition is on is that normal ?

[@chrismorgan1838]

I got a 2019 chevy malibu 1.5. Its a touch button start up and I got someone to turn the ignition, had them push the gas peddle but the throttle body valve would not open

[@jaguarblack4332]

I don't have scanner to relearn it. I also replaced my crankshaft sensor. Not it's hard to start my car like it wants to turn on but will not. I have to pump gas pedal a lot then it starts. When in drive I can accelerate. Please help

[@franwalsh9297]

Should the throttle park in the open OR closed position

On my 2011 Ford fusion hybrid, the air filter is a lifetime filter under the fender.

in elctronic throttle body without accelertor cable , if L-N key screw which is hidden in glue type material is messed up with. how can we adjust it to orignal position? do we need to use multimeter to check voltage of sensors at idle and full open throttle? do you know any reference values or can ask any professional who knows the values or procedures? its toyota corolla 2010 model..

[@rifat_yilmaz]

I have a question. If I apply as the engine running, does it clean the carbon deposits on the valves?

[@AliMECH]

Yes

[@majid22khan46]

Should I start the engine right away after cleaning or wait.

[@AliMECH]

Better to wait to let it dry completely

My 2013 Nissan Sentra 1.8 revs pick up too high with out the acceleration if I give it too much right foot drive it hard . Ok if I drive it gingerly slow . Any advice please I’ve changed transmission fluids and transmission valve body it goes in all gears smooth no noises but can’t accelerate to hard or revs pick up too high . So no rally driving for me right now 😂🤙

So you spray and then open where does that dirt go?

paper towel can leave particles; cotton rag is better; or maybe a vaccum cleaner fine nozzle to suck out moisture ?

I did exactly as you showed in the video, in my 08 Chevy Aveo, but I noticed that the flap opens very little when the accelerator is pressed. Does that mean I have to replace it?? Pls help! 🥺

No, you just need to adjust the throttle body cable, just like i do here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKTdaaOChceBnLM
