Toothbrush works great to get at some of the crevices, then paper to remove the dislodged material.

Looking for a smaller alternator pulley..2013 hyundai sonata 2.4. Voltage Droppage ⚡

[@Living_Legend85]

Is that what causes it? 2008 Kia Optima and the voltage while in drive at a stop light is so low lights dim on and off and radio cuts out. Once I’m back on the throttle all good

[@brainplay8060]

By turning the flap, doesn't that cause sensor calibration issues?

[@goldwolf0606]

Yes it does for electronically controlled throttle bodies. Make sure you push it back to the same spot it was at. If you have to remove it to be cleaned, you were fucked anyways 😂 so at that point, it’s not a bad idea to try cleaning it. It makes a big difference. I cleaned it on my 3000GT, runs smooth as a baby’s bottom. Only costs $5 for the throttle bottle cleaning spray.

Mine is electronically controlled throttle body , but i did not remove it from the engine but i do open the door by pushing it and clean the surroundings and the door and it works fine 15 optima , but in my previous car i switch on the ignition and push the accelerator all the way down and it opens the door automatically but in optima its not doing

​@zohaibahmed5445 so it was ok to move flap to clean? Gonna do it on my 15 optima but don't want to mess it up. And I read you left it on car correct. That's what I was gonna do.

Cant we clean withoit disassembly

I've heard that you arent supposed to move that throttle body flap with your fingers as U do in your video because it will damage the sensors,gears ect and that U are supposed to clean it by turning on the ignition and depress the gas pedal so the computer can control it!Please clarify this issue so we can do it the right way gthd gas pedal so it can open

Verified. This is correct In vast majority of newer cars~, ballpark any thing after 2000ish basically cpl things to determine is - search your vehicle and determine if you have electrical assisted throttle body vs a direct line (direct literally cable running from pedal through into engine and ending with mechanical type (push throttle the cable opens the flap inside the throttle body and allows more or less depending on pedal position. Alternative newer adoption of electric throttle body systems use signals based on when the throttle (gas pedal) is moved. The throttle cable as mentioned above is not one unit. Instead thete are sensors and other comp. Parts that are mounted onto the throttle body and have a motor which adjusts the throttle position based on what the signals the gas pedal position may be. If removal before Cleaning there should be no issue as long as you are gentle on cleaning. But if u don't want to monkey around with removal and want to clean your throttle body while In vehicle you must take extra steps to safely clean inside an electrical controlled unit. (*first off if u can't tell by looking try to open hood and driver door open turn key to on but do not start vehicle. Slowly give ur pedal a depress and then release and listen for a small mechanical gear sound that happened in response to pressing gas pedal and releasing (this sound tells you u have a electrical type vs cable. Another test if u have a 2nd helper or camera is to repeat above but have 1 person look inside the throttle body to see if an obvs cable is Makin the movement or if a mechanical winding type sound can be heard when the intake flap inside opens and shuts on release. 1.long story long, and to avoid damage to your fancy components on a electric type throttle body if trying to clean inside vehicle have someone turn to on and DO NOT START but press and release the pedal as another person works carefully to access and clean the entire intake side and with pedal depressed its possible to reach inside a bit with the valve open at that point. DO NOT EVWR FORCE THE BUFTERYFLY FLAP MANUALY BY HAND OPNE AND CLOSED WHEN CLEANING AS YOU MAY DAMAGE OR MESS WITH CALIBRATION OR OTHER INTERNAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (WORSE CASE HAVE TO GET A NEW THROTTLE BODY BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE AVAOIDABLE MISTAKE OR OVERLOOK. IF YOU GOOD LUCK
