What is cleaning the throttle body all about?

In order to run efficiently and smoothly, your vehicle needs a fuel mixture that is a perfect combination of air and gas. The air intake system is responsible for providing the air part of this equation. The throttle body is the component of the air intake system that determines exactly how much air to let combine with the fuel. When the throttle body is dirty it’s unable to let the right amount of air into the engine.

Keep in mind:

  • The air intake ducts should be examined when the throttle body is cleaned.
  • When the throttle body is cleaned, the entire air intake system should be inspected.

How it's done:

  • Take the snorkle off the throttle body
  • Spray brake cleaner on the throttle plate
  • Scrub plate with a brush
  • Spray the brake cleaner again
  • Reconnect snorkle

Our recommendation:

Your entire air intake system should be thoroughly examined during routine maintenance and servicing. Consult your owner's manual to see how frequently your throttle body should be cleaned.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to clean the throttle body?

  • Racing noise from the engine

How important is this service?

The air intake system draws air from outside of the vehicle, and blends it with the gas to create the optimal fuel mixture for your vehicle. The throttle body is the part of this system responsible for controlling exactly how much air is added to the gas. When the throttle body gets dirty, it is unable to allow the optimum amount of air into the air intake system, and the air-gas equation will be incorrect. As a result, your engine will not run smoothly.

My car has been overheating at idle for 4 days. I did some research and decided to replace the thermostat and coolant hoses, and do a coolant flush. On the 4th day I was driving home from a quick trip out and driving up hill. I turned over drive off because it's supposed to be better when going up steep hills. A few blocks later I started smelling burning and my temp gauge was shooting up. I was 2 blocks from home so I just got there and parked it. The next day I checked the coolant and the reservoir was empty. I checked the oil and it was almost black. Last time I checked them was 5 days previous and oil was fine, coolant needed to be topped off in the reservoir but it was only an inch below max. Do you think I might have an internal coolant leak? I don't think it's in the oil because it doesn't have that frothy look. Not sure about the heater core but I'm not noticing any monster in the front passenger area. I havent noticed any coolant leaking externally.

How can we help?
