This method is good when throttle body is slightly dirty. But if it’s too dirty better to open it and then clean from inner side too. Secondly never spray directly on throttle body when it’s attached all the dirt goes into intake. Better to apply spray on clean cloth and the clean it. That’s how i clean electric throttle of my cars.

Best throttle body cleaning video on YT. Only one I found describing how to safely and properly clean the electronic TB and neat tip with torque wrench.

I have a 2010 WV beetle with a 2.5 automatic. I noticed recently more hesitation while shifting. I followed your technique of using in my case a piece of wood to keep the throttle plate open. Its interesting how clean it looked from the outside, but after the seafoam spray it was like black ⚫️ tar coming from it. I felt resistance against the motor (buzzing noice) once I bumped the throttle plate. I was able to lightly brush the plate. After about 10 minutes of cleaning, i started the car up. Quicker starting, quieter idling, and consistently better shifting. Thats just from driving down my street. Thank you sir for your help. Eveything i needed was already home for some time so basically it was free maintenance.

You can in fact, open most electrical throttle body by hand, may want to check with your individual manufactuer but Hondas, Toyotas, Subarus all allow you to open the butterfly valve by hand, just don't over extend it and do a throttle body / idle relearn afterwards.

Yes I did get the engine light, but after cleaning and spraying into the throttle body little at the time while revving the engine afterwards the Kia Niro accelerated like a champ, I almost could not feel it and small hills became easier to climb and I could feel the air going through very well with a roar.

@@sumanravichandran9107 The only way to open the throttle is by using a clean piece of wood or a hard plastic material to avoid scratching it . It is like a spring it will open and then spray the chemical a little at a time inbetween each spray when I rev the engine I close it by not touching it it goes back the way it is when you first start. And then rev it a little bit and spray gently again and again each time revving the engine at 2K RPM not to eceed 3K rpm. This was my experience towards the end I sprayed an 1/8 of a can and let it sit with the engine off, for about 45 minutes and took it for a drive. Drove for about 10-12 miles and it run beautifully?

Also when you are done your car might be a little hard to start and when it does you might see smoke from your exhaust. It goes away pretty quickly depending on how much cleaner that you had used. I can only speak on the ones with the cable. If you have one that is really filthy it is better to remove it to give it a good cleaning. Old toothbrushes really make short work out of cleaning one and you can use a toothbrush even with the throttle body on the engine. Great source of information I must definitely hit the like and subscribe. Look forward to watching another one of your videos.

@brazyuniverse4221

If using a toothbrush and some carbon falls in, is that okay?

A little add up: -if you won't let it to dry, car may be hard to start for the first time because of fumes of cleaner left in the intake -if you have modern throttle position sensor it may need some time for ECU to readjust after cleaning. So it will be good if you replace ECU fuse before start cleaning and put it back after you reassemble all the parts.

Straight up dont be putting your fingers in an ETB. Some have ice breaking cycles amd they WILL sever your fingers.

! WARNING ! Remove the throttle body completely to avoid damaging your intake manifold. Throttle body cleaner melts plastic on contact. At least in my engine, there is a plastic cylinder just behind the throttle body lining the intake manifold. If you spray cleaner into the body like this, it will get behind and onto that plastic and will melt the surface. This will make the surface of the cylinder rough and pock-marked, at the least. Furthermore, You won't be able to clean the inner throttle body behind the plate without removing the body. A lot of carbon builds up on the other side of the plate. If you want to see how quickly the cleaner melts plastic, just find a piece of plastic you don't care about damaging and squirt some on it. I dripped some onto a paper towel sitting on some plastic under my hood and it melted the plastic underneath, fusing the paper towel to the plastic in seconds.

Honda Accord euro 2009 2.0 R20A3 just cleaned out whilst ignition on position 2 and weight on gas peddle so butterfly is fully open/closed. After clean, disconnect battery for 15 mins, reconnect with all lights and radio off, go to ignition positon 2 for 2 seconds, then start car, run at 3000rpm for 5 mins or until fan kicks in, and throttle position relearn is all done, set ready to go. Idle rock steady and running sweet 👌😙. This teaches ECU the adjusted position of throttle after it has been cleaned

Yeah dont clean electric throttle bodies like this. What he showed can damage them plus can hurt you doing that that way. Just take the throttle body all the way off and run a throttle position reset when you hook it up. Most cars its easy and also improves responsiveness from the sensor reset.
