Mazda 6 and 3 throttle body removal and clean

This is for 2016 Mazda 6 and 2017 Mazda 3. I believe it should apply to all Mazda 6 and 3 in the same generation.

I thought I remember reading somewhere if you unplug and remove the throttle body as you did here, that the car would need to be taken to the dealership to be reprogrammed? Maybe I misunderstood. Did you have to do that?

[@RimGreaper]

Thanks for the video. I’ll be doing this soon. 😊

At 2:30 I am having a tough time unplugging the electrical port, could you please explain how to do so? thank you!

[@BubbleTeaFob]

Did you take it off? I couldn't take mine off at all

[@hnng3919]

I remember it was tricky. I think I used a nose pliers to press down the tab, then a small flat screw driver to push them apart.

@@hnng3919 Thank you!

Posting this incase it helps anyone. I followed all of this and it was very simple except I spent a very long time trying to unplug the plug from the throttle body. Apparently you need to be pushing on the clip thats facing the front of the car (its hard to see until you remove the 4 bolts), push the plug in, then pull out. I was trying for a while with no success but eventually got it by doing that and wiggling a lot.

My Mazda 6 2013 revs rpm’s while idle or mainly when I am stopped with my foot on the break or when I am slowing down! It’s seeming like this is the problem

[@tonyd3401]

This is my problem too in a 2016. Did you find a solution?

[@KhaNguyen-dy6hd]

Great video! Do you mind providing a list of the tools that you used?

[@hnng3919]

Just basic tools, nothing special. It’s quite easy compared to other cars I worked on

[@h.j2078]

Great video! Which improvements did you gain?

[@hnng3919]

Usually it should at least improves the idle, or if the engine shakes (drop in rpm) when coming to a stop, it should help. However, the much easier task, cleaning the mas improves quite a bit in throttle response even at just 45 kmiles.

Can you move cap when cleaning? I heard it is not got to move it, becuse it can mix electronics memory. Becuse it is computer who open and close that cap. Please respond. Thank you!

[@hnng3919]

Yes, many including professionals did, but do not force the butterflies open more than you can.

[@richardbatara3181]

is there a torque spec for the TB bolts?

[@hnng3919]

I am not sure. I just paid attention to the force I needed to remove and put it back the same torque. Just make sure to tighten each screw lightly first in order then slowly increase the torque evenly
