Toyota FJ Cruiser Cleaning the Throttle Body and MAF Sensor.

[@oberurselts]

I used this video as a "trainer" to help me clean the Throttle Body and Mass Air Flow Sensor on my 05 Tacoma Prerunner 4.0 Engine. This video is excellent for any "DIY." After cleaning the Throttle Body and attempting to remounted it, the first bolt I tried to torque to 15 foot pounds broke. Went to my local hardware store in-search-of a 6 millimeter bolt with a thread pitch of 1.0 thread pitch and luckily I was able to find a bolt of the exact spec and length. I just mounted the Throttle Body snug and didn't risk the 15 foot pound torque spec. No "check engine light" come on but the idle was a little high until I had drove the vehicle about 15 minutes or so and then it calmed right down. Thanks Sean.

One of the cleanest motors I've ever seen on an FJ! Lol. About to do the same maintenance in the next couple weeks. Great video. Would love to see more FJ videos.

Great Video brother I did my 07 FJ today just as u shown in your video and it went very well I also cleaned the mass airflow sensor and the car runs so smooth and the rpm while idling at the traffic lights is between 5500 and 6000 The car is smooth and quit Thanx a lot

[@peterevangelidis2844]

Thx for the how-to. Followed your step-by-step and all is well!!!!

Excellent presentation!

[@joeray5394]

Thanks for posting this! Did it today and glad I did definitely needed to be done. Only thing is the 15 ft pounds seemed high when i went to torque it. Was hearing the creaking sounds and stopped at 12.5 ft lbs. I saw a manual that showed 15 also so not doubting you it just seemed plenty tight at 12. Probably too detailed but thought id throw it out there.

[@seanwain5578]

Toyota Spec is 15 ft lbs but I would imagine you are fine at 12.5 ft lbs. I have done them without a torque wrench and just snugged them up before.

What is the spray you used? Might be an important thing to mention. 😳

thank you , very helpful video , do i need to disconnect the battery or i can do the cleaning with the battery connected?

[@seanwain5578]

You should always disconnect the battery anytime you work on a vehicle although I did not disconnect the battery when making this video.

That was an awesome video man Just a question tho How is cleaning the throttle body help the car ?? Does it help saving on gas or better performance ?? Is it necessary to do it it’s just a luxury

[@jacintheblackburn9044]

What kind of cleaner do you use, I can't see the can

[@305_cowboy]

Isn’t there a gasket for the throttle body?

[@dcsk8er990]

Good info man, but please use a wix oil filer and not FRAM, they are the worst!

[@hectorvalenzuela6348]

Hello, I couldn't find the maf sensor cleaner, can i clean it with carb cleaner or with throtle body cleaner?

[@WUILBERTOGO]

[@carlfalk7251]

Thanks!!

[@michael184272]

Did you completely remove the throttle body from the FJ to clean the both sides or was it still attached? Great informative video...thanks for sharing. .

[@seanwain5578]

I unbolted the 4 bolts so I could clean the back side.

[@michael184272]
