- A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician explains Should you clean your throttle body and How to do it safely without damaging the throttle body.
In this much requested video I show you how to clean your throttle body. If you watch my channel regularly you'll know that I always tell my viewers that you need to know how to do things but more importantly you need to know why you are doing them.
We'll start with a brief history on Toyota Throttle body designs. Then I'll explain exactly why you need to clean the throttle body on your Toyota.
Then we'll dig into how to clean it. You don't need to remove the throttle body from the car to clean it, however if you prefer to do so you will need to replace the gasket so you won't risk vacuum leaks.
This is a very simple procedure to do and very DIY friendly. Follow the precautions and you're on your way to service your car and save a few bucks in the process.

7:53 Throttle Body Cleaning - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I was watching this as I was waiting in my Toyota dealership for my first 5,000 mile service on my new RAV4 Hybrid. I asked them if they would clean the throttle body before my 3year/36,000miles service expires. They said no because Toyota recommends it be done at 50,000 miles. I am very grateful that you are providing invaluable information for us Toyota owners because we can’t always trust the dealerships.
Your 3/36,000 miles complementary service only covers oil change and tire rotations nothing else.
I am a Toyota man forever. You couldn’t pay me to buy a Ford, Chevy, Chrysler. I just cleaned my throttle body today. I followed your steps to the tea. Thank you for the great videos, especially the one on the transmission fluid change, drain and fill. Knowing the correct temperature for the temperature check.
I am right there with you on brand loyalty. Save the planet and your money. Buy a well maintained used Toyota and take care of it and have a car for 20 years with little hassle.
I wish I found this video 1 month ago! I changed the spark plugs on my 2002 camry 3.0 and disconnected the battery. After that the idle was super low and would not idle after it warmed up. I back tracked my every move to find a possible vacuum leak. After replacing pcv valve and hose, egr gaskets and vacuum hose. I found nothing. I began to worry. It took me awhile to figure out to clean the throttle body. And luckily all was better. Great videos here. Thanks

Warning, I’m not a Toyota mechanic but was an Army mechanic for 8 of my 25 years, so I basically changed parts. Hesitation can be a few things. If you have time you should remove the throttle body, and get it truly clean from both ends, plus you can see the condition of the mesh gasket under the throttle body. (My mesh gasket was falling apart). I had a spare in my tool box. So, While I was still under the hood I cleaned the Mass Air Flow (use cleaners specifically made for that part, as he mentioned). After doing that, I checked the spark plugs; some of my plugs were gapped at twice the recommended gap. New plugs, checked the gap. (I check gapping on new plugs, that’s just me) since I was still under the hood, I properly cleaned my K&N air filter. (I was cleaning it wrong for years), since I was still under the hood, I was low a quart of oil. Filled to proper level. Closed the hood, allowed the air filter to dry. Next day, took it out for a 20 mile test run…..it ran weird for a few miles then got on the highway. My 2010 Toyota Tundra went up to 90 mph without pushing the pedal to the floor. It was like a new truck again. I neglected it for 2 years…….. I’ll never wait that long again. Being that I did all that maintenance at once, I couldn’t pin point what the true cause of the hesitation, but then again everything I repaired needed to be done.
Thank you for sharing this story.
Interesting how a simple bit of maintenance made all this difference. 🎉❤🎉
9😅w😅o 😊😢
Thanks for sharing your experience,You're right the gasket thingi also is very important I used to undermining the importance. Thanks
Exactly the pump gas has so much trash in it this is where it originates from so yeah you have to do it pretty often I do mine about every 10000 miles
I stopped using kn filter because it makes the MAF error and actually didn't improve airflow as soon as I put in a cheap filter it ran better 😁
This is the exact kind of basic maintenance shop-class type video that is so beneficial to us who like to dabble in the "easy" part of car repairs. I've been warned not to manually move the butterfly on some cars, so it's good to know that's not a problem on Toyotas.
I'm thinking what would I have paid for this as a class? And then thought, if only a tiny fraction of Ahmed's viewers donated just $1 to his channel through that Patreon account, it would be a nice "thanks" to him for taking the time to do this video.
I agree, to have the experience of a Toyota Master Tech explaining in great detail how to perform repairs, maintenance, and what to watch out for is very valuable information and real world experience. I think a donation is a nice thanks to Ahmed. I am a recent subscriber and donator and I look forward to more videos.
I third all of this

I’m just learning with my first car, it’s a 2020 Corolla xse and I’ve seen maintenance on these cars is easy. Next time around I get another car I’ll just do all the maintenance myself
You're right Jim,

Awesome video. My car was throwing a code related to the throttle body and the dealer wanted to replace it at a cost of $800. I declined, took the car home, and cleaned the throttle plate. That was 18 years ago, and ever since I have been cleaning the throttle plate every 2 years on the original throttle body. No more codes and I still own the car. Now I do it to all my cars.
These dealers are either incompetent , thieves or both. I hate dealers.
That must be one clean throttle plate! Well done!
Never go to the stealer lol
Yea they probably would of just cleaned it and said they switched it with a new one
@@OFFICIALBROTHERBOLDLYMUSIC That's because their Mothers...
This is all I had to spend to do this myself. I hope you make money from these videos forever, you deserve it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone.
Many years ago I took my car to a mechanic for poor idle and stalling. On the invoice it said throttle body cleaning and I was charged almost $100. I didn't know what it was at the time but found out later on that it is a simple job. Ever since I've been cleaning it every 50k miles or so.
I was just quoted $300 for a throttle body cleaning at my dealership 🤔
@@liudizzle depends. Do you have multiple throttle bodies? And do they have to come out? Maybe $300 is justified
@@ZFnr4y058mrno
You must work for the stealer
Only takes 10 mins to clean it and no cost at all just a shop towel and throttle cleaner. They making bank charging $300 for that
Thanks for clarifying pushing the throttle butterfly open by hand. I’ve seen many other videos saying you can’t touch or move the plate by hand. This makes it’s nearly impossible to clean.
They make it seem like if you move it, it’ll be a death sentence for your engine lol
Did you move it with your hand and clean?
@@sumanravichandran9107 follow Car Care Nut , he’s a Toyota technician and shows exactly how to do it.
Love it. Most of the most overlooked maintenance items. I like mine every 30k miles. Brings down the RPMs at idle. Nice and smooth. I clean the MAF sensor every oil change. My 2003 Tundra with 167k miles, still runs strong because I don’t mess around with maintenance. As my Dad beat into me “take care your vehicles and they will take care of you”
What does MAF stand for? Thanks!
@@mochabetty mass airflow sensor.

Thank you for your thorough explanation, details, what not to do specifically, etc. Also for keeping it simple just what we need to know/do. Good work!
Ex Lexus tech here, what I used to do after cleaning the throttle body and disconnecting the battery is start the car let it warm up a bit then put on my parking brake and put it in drive. The parking brake would “hold” the car in place and the idle would relearn and adjust faster
this might be an issue with the 5.7 L engines...parking brake doesn't hold these monsters in drive. I had parking brakes checked and double checked by dealer and have been told over and over again that my parking brake is within the specs. Hi torque engines ...do not try this technique in your garage when a few inches from the wall
I had to run my car holding brake to do same.
you can use cleaning tips with spray on em for the edge area
AMD, I have my throttle body cleaned every 15 years like clockwork . The next service was due in 2035 but it looks like I will now be INCREASING the frequency :D
Hahahahaha
This is the most comprehensive explanation I've heard about how the TB and the throttle actuator works. I've worked on my own cars for the 35 years I've been driving, and have owned 19 cars so far. This is much better than a Chilton's manual (nothing against them though. They've helped me out a lot).
Thank you so much for empowering me.
Because of you I now own:
2 ton jack
2 ton jack stands
Breaker bar
Tool box set with extensions
Before you I owned a couple of screw drivers and a hammer.
Did my first oil change a week ago.
Changing cvt fluid is next on my list.
Thank you. Your channel is an invaluable asset to the car care community.
I had my throttle body cleaned and it works very effective I watch as many videos from your channel to keep me informed . Excellent education you provide thank you for everything it is so appreciated you can't imagine .From a viewer in Montreal Quebec Canada.
You're awesome I've learned so much from you as a DIY, really respect the fact that you always end with May The LORD bless you and keep you.
This is absolutely the best video I've seen about cleaning throttle bodies. Very clear and concise and videos is high quality. Thank you so much! I've subscribed!!
With the quality and no bs content I can see you growing to 1 mill in due time!!
I couldn't believe how easy it was to clean my Throttle Body Plate on my 2019 Toyota Highlander. Thank you Sir.
Best Toyota technician on CZcams. You are a wealth of knowledge and reason. Great show.
You deserve an award for making great content. Thank You. I'm ready to clean my throttle body on a 2003 Lexus IS300.
I am in the process of buying my first Toyota, a 2021 trd tacoma off road. I appreciate your expertise and advice, keep the videos coming
OMG. Every time I see your videos I learn more and more. I feel like I'm becoming a real mechanic 😂
Oh my gosh. What a good vid. Been working on my cars for 55 years. Never had better info. Thanks young man! Cheers from Northern Ontario.
Man thank you so much. I have a 2ARFE 2013 Camry. I kept procrastinating this job. When I finally did it I was actually shocked. Car feels brand new. My gas pedal feels way different. I appreciate everything you do for the Toyota community. Your videos are always a help. Initially I was idling at 2k rpm and not even 10 min later I was at normal idle and no codes spawned either. If you have a 2ARFE engine the job isn’t that bad. Just need the proper tools.
It’s really a simpler way cleaning the throttle and useful. Save my time. Thank you!
AMD, thank you so much for creating this video. As someone with an electronics background, this stuff fascinates me. I successfully cleaned the ETB in my 2007 Lexus IS250 (4GR-FSE). Brilliant design that relearns on its own! Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Not sure if it was just my impression on a quicker relearn, however, after full warmup, before engine shutoff, I placed the transmission in Neutral and watched for about a minute as the computer quickly adjusted idle back to normal. I must now learn how to do this in my 2014 Acura RDX (J35Z2) where to my surprise Honda calls for PCM Reset and clearing of TP learned value. Hopefully my Thinkdiag scan tool will do the job. To me, Toyota and Honda still make the best vehicles in the world - hands down. ¡Mil gracias!
I remembered seeing a video on how easy this was to do, while I was at the service counter and Toyota was asking me to pay them $140 to have them do it! Went back and rewatched this today, and thankfully your videos have once again saved me a lot of money!
i am not a toyota owner but this video will help regardless of which make of vehicle you own.car care nut you are a legend.thanks
Real talent for explaining these complex machines to the average owner! Even a more advanced wrench turner like me gets so much from your work here! Appreciated!
Well said....
Ok ratchet turner
@@OFFICIALBROTHERBOLDLYMUSIC uhhh…sure.
@@zaffo757 don’t lie lol
@@OFFICIALBROTHERBOLDLYMUSIC ???? WTF if your point?
I watched the first 17 minutes of this video but needed to hear the 18th minute to solve my problem!! lol. I cleaned mine and it was idling really high afterwards and I freaked out because I didn't watch this video until the END!!! Thanks my friend, you make owing an LS430 even better!!!
This guy is the greatest Toyota mechanic. I’ve learned so much about my 4Runner watching his videos
Thank you for explaining the "why" of why you are cleaning the throttle body. Great informative video.
Love this channel , as a Tundra owner, i learn something new on every video
I cleaned mine on my Camry last year at about 158K miles. I got the car used at about 80K miles. Really wasn't all that dirty hehe. Cleaned it and the MAF sensor. Car idled a little high a couple days like you said. Good to go👍 Great video. Didn't over complicate things. Basic stuff.
Okay, i am deleting all other car maintenance vids except …. Yours are really really really the best!
Thank you for the clear and concise description of throttlebody operation and why they need cleaning. I only watched half of the video because I am going to be working on a 1990 Ford F150 but your explanation was excellent.
Love this channel, just bought a 2009 toyota corolla and did a lot of minor things I have seen on your channel too it this car for me was a excellent second car with 17000 miles on it and it still runs great.
Fantastic note about the ten amp fuse “after a jump”. Thanks so much. Helped me in a parking lot today. The checked the fuse before I watched your video, and it seemed ok, after watching the video, I replaced the fuse and it worked. Saved me a tow. Thanks again.
You a great teacher. Even one without any experience of a car is able to follow and work on the guy!
This is very comprehensive information. For DYI, thank you for this effort to explain the what, how, and why with this topic.
Great Video. Lately every video has been in time with my own maintenance needs. This weekend I will clean the TB on my Tacoma, Rav4 and my Wife's 4Runner. Thank you
I tried this on my 2AR-FE. Such a pain getting to the throttle bottle let alone the bottom part of the throttle plate, BUT it was totally worth it. I bought my 2012 Camry used with only 80k miles and noticed it idled above 2k rpm upon start up. It seemed excessively high for a start up but it would drop to around 800 rpm after 30 seconds. Anyways, I cleaned this completely and it was totally a game changer. Thank you!!
I have a 2ar-fe in my scion and I feel that pain about getting to the throttle body 😂
Best video I've found on this subject .I'll be removing all of this on my 04 highlander soon to replace the spark plugs and coil packs.I definitely want to do this cleaning before reassembling every ,thank you!
DIY for decades, this video helps me, very well done. Thanks.
Another wonderful video, AMD! I recently did a throttle body cleaning where I took it off the intake plenum (and replaced the gasket as you suggested) to clean it front and back, but it was a bit confusing to see tons of contradictory warnings online about the procedure and claims of destroying the TB if the throttle plate is moved, calibration issues, etc. Thanks for clearing up the misconceptions!
As you said, after cleaning the idle was initially high, but after driving and idling for 20-30 minutes, it stabilized back to normal. The throttle response improved, and possibly fuel economy as well.
This video has the best explanation of how things work that I have seen. I tuly appreciate the time you spent to explain the basics.
When I hit the stair climber, this is the channel I watch. Love the videos. Great advice and maintenance tips and tricks. Thanks you greatly. Jade
Thank you CCN ! This made a huge difference to throttle response and performance. Took 20 mins to get idle to settle down. Everyone should be doing this....
Oh - a reminder that this applies only to the Toyota family of vehicles. I was once the unfortunate owner of a 1985 turbo Volvo. The Volvo system resulted in oil mist being inhaled ahead of the turbo (not a defect, just a characteristic of the design). Every October the engine would start once, then die, then start and keep running. The Volvo gurus clued me in to the massive glop in the throttle body and Idle Air Control Valve and, just as they said, it took half a can of throttle body cleaner to clean it all out and get it running reliably for the season - or until there was another failure. I like my Toyotas _much_ better!
Great information. Just started working at Toyota as a service advisor and will study this video to help suggest accurate information to the customers when the technicians recommend this service for their car.
thank you for the video, tons of needed info. worked on a throttle today, cleaned it out and got it working again. car is running great, saved a $900+ trip to the mechanics.
best video out of 50 others I have watch on cleaning throttle body. Now I'm ready to do mine tomorrow :) thank you
The Best video on this topic i have seen. You covered every angle and issue. You really do make a great teacher. Thank you
I have been a mechanic for many years and I still love watching his videos because you learn something from him every time you watch one of his videos.
Another excellent video! I’ve got the same 4Runner engine and went ahead and cleaned my MAF while I was at it.
Sorry to hear about your dad passed, RIP, our prayers for you and your family.
Thank you for all your help
Thank you so much for making this video. I followed the steps you outlined and everything went smoothly - my idle is smoother, I have better acceleration and hopefully I will have better fuel economy. This is an excellent video. 😊
Cleaned the throttle body on my 2012 Toyota Yaris today. It was a bit of a challenge getting all the tubes off. Especially the clamp holding the air intake pipe secure to the throttle body (not the type where you can unscrew the tensioner, but a self-clamping design). I ended up using a tie-rip to hold it loose. The butterfly valve was a bit hard to press. I ended up removing quite a bit of gunk, although it wasn't as bad as i expected after 11 years and 116000 kilometres. Re-connected everything. Used a bit of silicon spray (applied via rag) to slide the pipes back on. When i started the car it died immediately. Checked all the pipes and connectors. Starter worked. Could hear the butterfly valve rotating when pressing the gas. Got a bit scared and had to ask Dr. Google. The solution was pressing the gas pedal to the maximum and start it for awhile. Fired up and drove it around the block to get rid of any excess fluids. Thanks for the tutorial; not only did it help me, but it gave me the confidence to try it myself (as a non-mechanic).
Great content. The information in the beginning is exactly what I needed. I had to replace the heater bypass tube and in doing so I had to remove the intake manifold. When I did this the throttle body had to come off and I ended up cleaning up both the throttle body and manifold. Upon reassembly I had an idle speed that was higher than before the maintenance but not above 1000 rpm so there was concern I may have missed a vacuum hose or connector. Double checked every connection and all was good. Your info cleared up the idle condition and I'm now confident it is perfectly normal. Thanks for the excellent information and I am now a subscriber!
Thank you, AMD. I am new to this channel, and a total noob when it comes to automotive maintenance. I have a 2005 4Runner SR5, almost 260,000 miles, bought used so 200,000 of those miles are mine. This video, and some of your other videos, gives me the confidence that I can perform my own maintenance. After watching this video I cleaned the throttle body, and the MAF, the idle is high as expected, but the 1GR-FE runs much smoother. Given the high price of new, and used, cars, I'm trying to keep her running as long as I can.
This channel and Toyota Maintenance channel are the 2 best for this content. Thanks!
I was waiting for this video! Thanks AMD! Great and fantastic content as always!
AMD since I had to remove the throttle body on my 2012 Highlander when doing the spark plug replacement (using your excellent video) - it was the PERFECT time to give the throttle body a good cleaning - front, back, and edges. A soft toothbrush is a helpful tool - I had some extra unused ones from my dental checkup 😁 I used the CRC 05078 Throttle Body and Air-Intake Cleaner. CRC is widely distributed so it should be readily available at independent and chain auto supply stores (in case a Toyota parts counter isn't nearby...) After cleaning the throttle response is noticeably improved; throttle tip-in is more sensitive; and the idle is butter smooth.
did you have to do a idle relearn procedure after or anything related to the ecu after cleaning?
@@oOgy172 No sir. I had purposely taken the positive battery cable before beginning the "tune-up" because I wanted to clean the battery posts AND allow some of the adaptives to relearn... The Highlander fired right up, settled right down, runs great! MUCH improved throttle tip-in, eliminated a tiny little hesitation.
Would you use WD40 branded throttle body cleaner? I was thinking of getting that to use because it is much cheaper on Amazon
@@MexicanNYAmerican I personally can vouch for the safety and efficiency of CRC brand THROTTLE BODY CLEANER. It's readily available at retailers or online at a good price
Thanks Ahmed! I did this to 3 of my Toyotas today. One was pretty clean already. The other two showed a big difference. I did learn something about hose clamps today. I was struggling getting the duct back on the throttle body of the 2007 Solara (2AZ-FE) when i noticed you could "lock" the hose clamp open and put the duct on and then release it once the duct was back on. Pretty cool.
Great info. Took all of two minutes and the idle drop is gone. When I first started it after cleaning the idle did bounce from super high to normal a couple of times. Felt like she was trying to say thank you. Again the instructions where much appreciated.
Thank you for your expertise, straight to the point and taking time to explain the why's. Very helpful. Happy I decided to watch your video. Other video showed to take it all apart even the gasket. Yours make sense I trust your video thanks again.
Found this channel a few days back. Excellent videos! I currently own 3 Toyotas and do most all my own maintenance. These videos extremely helpful and detailed. Thanks again!
The style of this video was perfect, friendly whilst remaining professional and inspiring to do it yourself...just take care and pay attention. I’ll be using this as my main reference to help my rough idle issue, thank you so much! ❤️
Thanks! I followed this video, cleaned the throttle body and LIFE IS GOOD! 😀
As a non-owner of Toyota or Lexus, i still subscribe and watch.
Thank you brother… you really explain things really well, thanks for the heads up on the idle running high after the cleaning
AMD I really like your tutoring. Plain and simple straight to the point. You do a fantastic and valuable presentation! Love it! Will return.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! This is how my brother taught me to work on vehicles.
I need suspension work done but I am so dismayed by the poor quality of work by Toyota. I had to replace my rotors and pads after a tire rotation and alignment because the mechanics don't use torque sticks. I was standing on my 36" breaker bar but could not get the lugs to budge. I live in Florida but will be making arrangements to have my work done once with your business.
Great video! Thanks, AMD! I saw my mechanic was spraying profusely some carb cleaner into the throttle body while the car was running and he told the car owner to keep the engine revs between 2 and 3 thousands RPM. He literally used a good half of that can.
And now I see, you don't need to spray it inside, but just wet a microfiber towel and wipe the buld-up off!!!
I've learned this lesson!! Not going back to that mechanic!
Other videos show that process as well so it's very confusing and conflicting.
Great info.thank you.i cleaned my 06 Tacoma 4.0 only. Once it has 234000 miles on it and it is idling rough so thanks for reminding me to do it more often.
Fixed my idle/stalling issue with a 2004 Sienna. Thanks for the great video!
Your advice and know how gave me the confidence to go through with this and my Mazda3 is now running smoother, faster and cleaner. I don’t remember her performing this well, even the idle is smoother....not mention 16 years of carbon gunk, gone. I’m absolutely stoked with the results, thank you SO much! 😁❤️
Thank you Sir for your invaluable information and insights into making car care maintenance understandable
Thanks for this video AMD. I just finished cleaning the throttle body on my 2015 4Runner Limited with 59,000 miles using your procedure. Had a fair amount of carbon built up that I was able to clean up. One thing to watch for is when putting the rubber intake hose back on the throttle body, be sure the under side of the hose doesn’t fold over while trying to push it back on. I had a bit of trouble trying to push it back on. Finally, I reached around and felt what the problem was and had to pry the hose onto the throttle body with my fingers. Once I got it started, it pushed right on.
You can use a silicone lubricant made for rubber to help you with that
As a Refrigeration Mechanic and Car Maintainer I appreciate all tips from a Honest Toyota Mech. Thank you dear sir for your input. I have a 2006 Highlander that is getting a timing belt this summer. O joy. Anyway have a great day Brother. Calgary, Canada
I did this truck started strange but settled in within a second. Thank You Sir.
Thank you, very valuable information, I thought you just spray it in and it dissolves the carbon. Now I know why I watch this channel. 😊
Just did my wife’s 2017 Prius with 25,000 miles. Outside was pretty clean, inside just a light shade of black but an easy job!!
I have a 1995.5 Tacoma. Never cleaned the throttle body until seeing this video. It needed cleaning... it was dirtier than the one in the video. Next job I did (later) was to change the spark plugs. It was easier to change the plugs after removing the air intakes to the throttle body. They are easy to remove but next time I will do both jobs at the same time so only having to remove the air intake hoses once. Hope that helps someone else. Absolutely love this channel. Thanks so much for these videos.
If CZcams didn't exist, great stuff like this wouldn't be available for mere mortals like us. Thanks AMD.
So much info in all of his videos. Not a wasted word. Everything he says has importance. Thanks
Priceless video! The best channel on youtube!
Thanks for the video. Good recommendations. You've reinforced my concerns for forcing the motor and gears, as well as how clean the surfaces must be.
Got my 4Runner back from the shop after some service (new alternator, testing for head gasket, etc) and wondered why (before anything but alternator and new battery) the idle was so slow that it felt like it was going to die. There it is! Computer likely went back to factory reset and I need to check the throttle body. Just subscribed to your channel. I like to DIY as much as I can if it isn't over my head, and, as a retired teacher, I love knowing not just how, but why things are done the way they are. Thank you.
I had my mech do it last month! What a difference from night to day. My car runs SMOOTH. It was its first cleaning and there was plenty oN the outside rim and the throttle. Gently done, works great
does it make a difference on acceleration or just idle?
@@BillSW i did it yesterday in my corolla 2010...both idle and acceleration became very smooth, hesitation gone 🤝✌️
@@baijujohny2415 thanks for responding!
Great work and very informative videos . Thank you for making the videos and please continue to make tons more
Thank you AMD for your videos! I’m always trying to learn more so I can keep my 2002 4Runner in great shape. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us!!🚗
You're becoming my favorite car care channel.
Thank you. My 2006 Camry is idling poorly right now. I've cleaned the mass airflow sensor and looked for vacuum leaks. Will try the throttle body cleaning next. I too scared to clean it until this video. Many thanks.
So did you clean it & did it solve your issue?
Most excellent video as usual. Thanks for posting. I googled CRC throttle body cleaner safety sheet and found on their website that their TBC is 90% acetone and remaining being inert CO2 essentially. Think I am going to clean mine today. Thanks again for posting!
Interesting. Much less expensive. Thanks for posting.
Thank you, I inherited my wife's 2007 4runner, with 115,000 miles, I'm doing complete all maintenance. You gave me enough confidence to tackle this, thanks again.
Wow!!! That was a master class on throttle body theory and maintenance. Thank you so much. 👍🏻❤️💯
