How to Clean a Throttle Body
Things You’ll Need
Part1 Preparing to Clean the Throttle Body
1.Park your car outside and locate the throttle body under the hood. First and foremost, you’ll need plenty of space and fresh air to work. Once you’re parked in an open outdoor space, open up the hood of your car and look for the aluminum throttle body between the intake manifold and the air cleaner.
2.Disconnect the ground terminal from your car’s battery. This is a safety precaution for your vehicle. Make sure the car is turned off, then find the negative terminal under the car’s hood—it should be on top of the battery with an attached cable. Loosen the nut on the negative terminal with a wrench, remove the negative connector cable and move it away from the battery.
3.Label all hoses attached to the throttle body or air ducts. Use masking tape to create tags for each hose and coupling that must be removed to reach the throttle body. You’ll need to know which hose connects with each coupling once you’re finished cleaning and need to reattach everything.
4.Put on protective gear. Since you’ll be working with chemicals under the hood of your car, it’s wise to use eye protection and rubber gloves for this job. Make sure these are both on before you start washing out the throttle body with cleaner fluid.
Part2 Cleaning the Throttle Body
1.Detach the air duct from the throttle body. It’s usually held in place by a hose clamp, which you can loosen with a Torx or Phillips screwdriver (check the clamp to determine which one you’ll need). Gently twist and pull until you can safely detach the air duct, and be sure that you don’t disconnect any electrical wires in the process.
2.Spray throttle-body cleaner in the air duct once the throttle is exposed. Then, grab a small brush and gently scrub the interior to loosen all the varnish, dirt, and gum.For this, you can use either an old toothbrush or a soft parts-cleaning brush, and wipe off the residue with paper towels every so often to clear the throttle one area at a time.
3.Apply a small drop of general-purpose oil to the throttle shaft. Use a cotton swab to place the drop of oil right where the throttle shaft enters the body. This is done to help your car’s throttle blade rotate smoothly until the next cleaning.
4.Clean the throttle body every 75,000 miles (121,000 km). There’s no official ruling on how often you need to clean the throttle body, but you can keep your car running smoothly by doing this periodically. You can also look for a few signs that your car’s throttle body needs cleaning. These include:
Part3 Cleaning Up Afterwards
1.Wipe the area around the throttle with paper towels. Remove any dirt or liquid that may have spilled onto the car’s engine (or surrounding parts) while cleaning. Ensure that you wipe everything up before reattaching all components in the car that you moved earlier.
2.Reconnect displaced ducts, tighten clamps, and reattach the battery. First, use the labels you made to attach ducts in the right places and tighten each clamp to the same degree they were initially. Then, reconnect the battery; use your wrench to re-tighten the nut on the connector cable, securing it back in place.
3.Start your car’s engine and let it idle for a couple of minutes. This is a quick check to make sure everything is working smoothly. When you turn on your car’s engine, note that a stumble is common. You may even experience a rough idle; both are caused by cleaner fluid and residue that fall into the intake manifold.
4.Take your car for a test drive. If you cleaned the throttle body as part of routine maintenance, you might not notice much difference in your car’s drivability. If you cleaned the throttle body because it was getting too grimy, you’ll likely see a performance improvement—especially when idling and shifting gears.
