- I had to remove the air intake tube in order to do a coolant flush for my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2), and while I had the air intake tube out of the way I decided to take the opportunity to clean my throttle body. A throttle body controls the airflow in to your Jeep's engine. As you depress the accelerator pedal, the butterfly valve opens to allow more air to enter the engine. When the throttle body is dirty, clogged up or malfunctioning this stops the flow of air into the engine, which not only causes problems with performance, but can cause issues with unburned fuel passing through the exhaust system.
While throttle-body cleaning is good preventative car maintenance, it should also help engine drive-ability. In fact, if you've noticed a rough idle, stumbling initial acceleration or even stalling - all when the engine is fully warmed up - a dirty throttle body could be the culprit. Once you look inside a throttle body, you will probably be surprised at the dirt, gum and varnish that have accumulated there over time.
This quick how to video will show how you can give your throttle body a quick clean if you have the opportunity to have access to it and you don't have/want to remove the entire throttle body.

I've enjoyed a few of your videos because my wife also has a Grand Cherokee like yours. One tip I would give you in regards to cleaning the throttle body is I would recommend removing it completely before cleaning it. For two reasons, one is that the back side is usually dirtier than the front and also you are not flushing all that dirt, contaminants and chemicals down into your intake and engine. Keep up the good content!
Thanks for watching my video and for subscribing to my channel! That's a great tip about removing the throttle body when you clean it and pointing out that the method I used only cleans the front and not the back side of it.
So helpful! Thank you
No need to re-learn the TB position after you move the butter fly around? I have a '15 GC Altitude and I was thinking about doing this service. I've done it before on VW and if you move the butter fly at all then you have to relearn the TB position.
Great video
I don't but some people do. The PCM should re-learn the position after driving for awhile. I not trying to get every ounce of performance out of my rig. Here's a good discussion where people were talking about doing the re-learn procedure on JGC.

You are not afraid to damage anything in there with your toothbrush, are you?
No, no need to be worried about damaging anything.
Oh man why didnt you just remove it and cleaned it ?
