Land Rover LR3 | Learn How To Clean The Throttle Body For Free

[@darrahworkman1357]

This was the most organized car repair video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for not telling us about your garage life and children and what you ate for dinner. Also I could see EVERYTHING going on. And they pace at which you explained it was perfect. I’ve never seen such a well planned video

[@darrahworkman1357]

So professional and easy to understand THANK YOU

[@AColonelPanic]

I had to clean out my throttle body and MAF sensor. Now my LR3 is a very happy camper, and the engine light even turned off after a little while!!! 🥳 I will be watching many more video on this channel; Oxmanagain has a new sub 😁

[@michaelthomas3476]

Thanks, my brother for this insightful video. I have a 2003 L322 and after watching a few videos on this throttle body cleaning, I feel confident I can do this myself and save the time and cost $$$$$ to taking it to my mechanic. I'll keep you posted on my success.

[@keithcheatham4410]

Great video's very detailed and illustrated, I'm a 20 year mechanic but first time Range Rover 4.4 v8 owner 😀😀

[@damonclarke7695]

Great video - solved my Reduced Engine Performance error saving hundred of $ at the mechanic. Thankyou.

[@hopefulharry]

thanks for this. It worked for me. Cold start and power issues gone. I reset the (constant) engine warning light by disconnecting the battery for 1 minute. Now driving smoothly again.

[@minstrelraj]

This video was very helpful. I cleaned both today and your instructions made it so easy. I did however move the plate to clean the throttle body. There was lot of gunk around the plate area. I held the plate open to clean the body. It snapped back once you release it. I did take measurements before moving the plate and it was exactly the same when i was done cleaning it.

[@albertmaxfield7624]

Uh😢

[@xcrider0]

Thanks Bro, this skill saved me time and money! Not a mechanic but videos like yours help me do for myself.

[@m76r72]

Great video, just want to add that the 4 screws are tighten to 7 lb.ft if folks don't want to guess. a new gasket is pretty cheap, about 3 bucks.

[@tuannguyen-ly7xu]

It's a $500.00 vid. I am sure many folds would greatly appreciate your talent too. Very well done, very considered, slow carefully explanation. good reminder how tight those screws very good tips, not to lose those nuts, I did before!!! Thank you so much. Now just wonder how firm is the flap of the throttle just in case I accidentally push it out of the alignment? Thanks

[@stuarthall2180]

Very simply explained, thanks again. I haven't even got an Lr3 yet. I'm looking at one but it's done 181 thousand miles. Do you think I'm asking for trouble ?

[@grease_queendockery148]

I didn’t have to take my whole MAS apart. I just took the air box hose apart and sprayed inside to the red sensor. Took 10minutes tops.

[@Lifelearnerhere]

Hey thanks for the video I thumbs up and subscribed I was wondering if you have a moment to answer a few questions for me I have a 2006 Range Rover HSE and I can't get it to start it cranks but it doesn't want to turn on after I ran out of gas please help

Again an awesome tutorial video! You might want to do a video to show how to replace the T-Piece connector on the coolant system. They are known to break.

[@oxmanagain]

I had to do that on another car I own but not this one yet. But, if it breaks I will make a video. Thanks for watching.

[@shaggywagshaggywag]

Thank you for this. My LR3 CEL came on the other day, along with rough idle and "reduced engine performance". I did both, and my throttle body was literally black on one side. It's super smooth now, hoping it stays this way.

[@oxmanagain]

Yeah my ride got a lot better after the cleaning and it has stayed like that for about a year now.

[@stevenleiden9488]

@@oxmanagain I cleaned my throttle body before watching this video. I did move the flap around to clean it better. What do i need to reset now?? I do have a GAP IIDTool

[@ghosalmartin]

@@stevenleiden9488 I have a particular issue with the same. Whenever I floor my throttle I get a P2101 with a rough idle. If I clear the code though it goes back to normal. Got an IIDTool as well. No idea what to reset.

[@andrihargrove9031]

? And thanks for the information my brother. Does this also apply to my 2003 range Rover L322. Because I'm getting a sense of clogged and losing power when I start it as well as trying to drive. I never thought that you can clean this on my own. Great information.

[@oxmanagain]

Yes, the same steps do apply for your year. Plus, I made another video showing the power and the results you can get from adding pour in fuel treatments. Here's the link You enjoy and get your Rover back working right. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2LRqaduh9mMf7c

[@DBHJONBOY]

Just ran across your video. Very appreciative! I have a 2007 Range Rover Sport. I had the battery replaced and the alternator; now it seems as if the transmission is running sluggish. Any ideas?

[@oxmanagain]

Do You have any check engine lights on?

[@Stratgamer91]

Thanks for the video! Are there any obvious signs that the MAF or the throttle body need to actually be replaced rather than cleaned?

[@oxmanagain]

Thanks for watching. As far as the MAF goes you pretty much only have to clean that. The throttle body if it ever goes bad it won't open and then your know that you need to replace it. But cleaning both of them will almost extend their life almost forever.

[@michaelthomas3476]

FYI, my 2003 Range Rover MAF sensor screws wasn't T-20 Tamper proof. actually, had to use a handheld grinder to make a flat line on top of the screw head. it worked. Was able to clean the MAF sensor and the Throttle Body...So far no engine and it seems to run okay.

[@oSTYNCLSYo]

I have a loss in throttle response so I will clean my throttle body and hope it works thanks for the video!!

[@oxmanagain]

Let me know how it turns out and thanks for watching.

[@oSTYNCLSYo]

oxmanagain I cleaned the throttle body it didn't help me in my case but I did take it to a shop today and 2 vacuum leaks were found 1 was the egr and the other was the PCV Valve which is brand new but the orings were not sealing. So I just replaced seals and orings waiting till tomorrow to cure and will update. My issue was lean both banks P0171 P0174 I hope this fixes that issue.

[@oxmanagain]

Jarad C that's great that you're only issue was bad vacuum lines. I'm curious to know how much it runs better.

[@oSTYNCLSYo]

oxmanagain I will find out tomorrow lol I hope that fixes the issue.. Thanks again for the rover videos and information!!

[@robertgallegos6485]

Thank you. This helped me! Very good video and explanation!

[@armandbroxton1879]

Can this be done with brake cleaner or does it have to be specific to the maf and throttle body?

[@oxmanagain]

I would only use math cleaner and throttle bottle cleaner. For one reason they both spray and for another reason they are specially formulated to clean and evaporate so that there's no residual chemicals left over to get into the engine.

[@andrewsanchez4359]

Great videos, really glad I found your channel. Where did you find your repair manual for the lr3?

[@oxmanagain]

[@legacyspherellc7688]

Do you have to wait for the Mass Air Sensor to dry after spraying it; if so, how long? Thx, great video.

[@oxmanagain]

Yes, you should wait for it to dry before you reinstall it into your vehicle, but, the spray dissipates pretty fast so you only have to wait a few minutes.

[@legacyspherellc7688]

[@MrOlegalis69]

Thank you for an excellent tip, however my problem is my HSE 08 idle only in park. Is this the same process I would have to do?

[@oxmanagain]

Thanks and if your 08 only has an issue when you are in park, then this should handle that. If you have any more question is the future feel free to ask.

[@MrOlegalis69]

Ok..thank you. how about PCV valve..does it have one..I've check the local stores and there's not one showing for this year?

[@demont790]

Can you reset the throttle body at home

[@petedriscoll23]

Your videos rule!! 👍

[@805videogroup5]

YUDAMAN !! thank you for another excellent video

[@nikhilsharma3111]

This is how not to clean the throttle body. You missed the main area, which is the point of contact of flap with body. If you dont clean it, rough idle will not go away. Moving the flap with your hand to do it, doesn't have consequences as it springs back to original position. No going to dealer thing.

[@danielcalderon3953]

Good video! Great wait to explain! Thank you

Haha thanks and thats sounds like a plan.

[@ShirleyAerial]

Did you replace your gasket? If not, did it affect the way it drove after?

[@oxmanagain]

I didn't replace my head gasket because it was in good working shape but it did idle a lot better.

[@ShirleyAerial]

[@jimmyramirez8844]

Did you remove the pcv valve

Thanks!!! 👍

[@ricosgift]

where is the senor on the throttle located

[@steveshih4622]

Hello, just curious as to how long your first set of air spring lasted before you had to replaced them? Thanks!

[@oxmanagain]

I had 150k miles on the old struts before I changed them out. Plus I still haven't done the rear ones yet. Thanks for watching.

[@whatsgoingon6313]

Is it better to replace the MAF sensor if you have 170k miles ?

[@oxmanagain]

You can always replace it so I would clean it first. It only cost 8 to $10 to clean it and $80- $200 to replace the actual sensor. So if you clean it and it doesn't work then you can always just replace it.

[@whatsgoingon6313]

@@oxmanagain Thank you ! Im also having suspensión fault normal height only issues will look at your video .

[@RP-nc5ev]

So helpful

[@michaelminnick7832]

Actually the most important part to clean is the edge of the butterfly where it seals to the bore.Cleaning the plate itself really won't improve anything.With an electric throttle you can't manually open no but you can spray a good amount and let it puddle till it seeps to the other side .

[@RP-nc5ev]

Thanks

[@ecordy]

Very informative, thanks for the vid.

[@oxmanagain]

I appreciate you watching.

[@karimalameddine5092]

Hey I saw this thing called wind booster, interested to know your thoughts on it or any similar product. It connects to the electric throttle behind the pedal and gives you options to adjust for economy (saves gas), sport and so on.. not sure how it would work with our lr3s.. Thanks (-:

[@oxmanagain]

I will take a look and let you know. Thanks.

[@genius2000]

Does it work the same for LR4?

[@oxmanagain]

I believe it does.

[@michaelthomas3476]

I notice when I come to a sudden stop the RPM needle drops below 9000 rpms, but quickly adjust to the proper idle ...any ideas whats going on?

[@oxmanagain]

Yeah if you clean your intake valves your throttle body your mass air flow sensor that will make a huge difference when you're going from high speed down to slow speed. It allows the car to breathe so much better due to all the junk that has built up on those surfaces.

[@dboyseattlefox1010]

Does that improve hose power on Lr3

[@oxmanagain]

If it did it is barely noticeable. But the idle was a big difference.

Does it matter

[@no8do]

the reason your MAF gets dirty is because you are using a K&N airfilter and the oil from that is gunking it up. tell me if i'm wrong.

[@oxmanagain]

That could be the case but on this particular vehicle I'm using a standard air filter.

[@no8do]

@@oxmanagain yea but i own one too and the one in the video is not your normal air filter. it's the reusable wire mesh that you have to spray down with their special oil.

[@oxmanagain]

@@no8do you were absolutely right. I did have a K&N air filter I forgot. I never put oil on them because of the reasons you mentioned. I'm glad you told me because I just went outside and looked at mine and it was dirty cleaned it no car idles better.

Good day, after I did all procedures to clean the air sensor and throttle body, I got a yellow lamb warning for an engine symbol? any reason for that

Have you drove the Rover and did the light go off? Sometimes when you clean the throttle the computer has to relearn the new settings.

[@mahmoudsalaheldinnada1123]

Yes, i drove it happened today, first thing I saw evaporate coming, I thought I did not wipe good after cleaning, but the light still on,

[@oxmanagain]

Can you have the engine light checked?

[@sadbravesfan]

I have an LR2 that wouldn't start aside from the electronical stuff (lights, radio, etc.) I then jump started it and got a "low fuel" warning for a split second and right after that got the "reduced engine performance" message. It ran for a few days, but seemed to struggle starting up. Today it won't start and I got the "reduced engine performance" message again. Do you think cleaning the MAF sensor may solve this or have any suggestions for troubleshooting? Really don't want to spend a whole bunch at a shop and others have said that it's hit or miss if they actually correctly diagnose the problem the first time but you still end up paying even if they get it wrong and you have to keep going back.

[@oxmanagain]

Do you have access to an OBD II code reader? Cleaning your throttle lets in more air so it's all a good idea to keep it clean. You might want to look at getting you injectors cleaned also.

[@juanvillegas9321]

Hey, quick question: is it possible to have a "Reduced Engine Performance" due to a flat tire? I was driving on the highway and this 2 problems came at the same time, may be coincidence?

[@oxmanagain]

Yes, it can feel like you're driving in mud so to speak.

[@juanvillegas9321]

I am watching some of your videos right now, very good ones! I have been working on my LR3 but the problem still there (With the spare tire, a small one) I will see what happens when the original tire is installed.

Ok cool, let me know the outcome.
