What is throttle body cleaning in car

Описание: Throttle body cleaning is a maintenance process that involves removing carbon deposits, dirt, and grime from the throttle body of a car. The throttle body is a key part of the air intake system—it controls the amount of air that flows into the engine based on how much you press the gas pedal.

Why it's important:

Over time, carbon buildup and dirt can accumulate inside the throttle body, especially around the throttle plate. This can cause:

Rough idling

Poor acceleration

Engine stalling

Reduced fuel efficiency

Check engine light


How it's cleaned:

1. Accessing the throttle body: The air intake duct is removed to expose the throttle body.


2. Cleaning process: A throttle body cleaner spray is used to dissolve and remove the buildup. The throttle plate is manually opened to clean both sides.


3. Reassembly and testing: After cleaning, everything is reassembled and the engine is started to ensure smooth operation.



You can do this yourself if you're comfortable with basic car maintenance, or have a mechanic do it. Regular cleaning (every 30,000–50,000 miles) helps keep your engine running smoothly. Want to know if your car needs it right now?
