As long as it is not on the car, you can absolutely clean it on the workbench. You can gently open the throttle plate and clean the bore and edges. Keep the electrical side at the top to keep the cleaner from getting in the drive portion. Just be gentle with the movement, it will be fine.
You just saved my Sonoma.
God Bless You Mister!!!❤❤❤
THANK YOU SIR! 🫡🚬
Toyota's you can manually move it open, just do it slowly, no need to remove it.
No brake cleaner, it leaves a residue. Use a product specifically for the Throttle Body.
Hes right, but at the same time. Turning your car on without all that stuff connected will send sensors gone crazy. I did my Toyota rap 4 20 19. And I used to stick to open The Thing. Cause mind understanding some of these can close on you and possibly hurt you. And I used a plastic cup to hold the cleaner and found out that it disintegrates the plastic cup along with the toothbrush I was trying to use. But I gotta clean though. I forgot to plug some stuff in and all the sensors were going crazy. When I started it up but went away after about a couple hours of the car being on.
It will go away after so many drive cycles and the ecm doesn't seem anymore issues.
Man I pushed on mine and it popped out of place started giving my F-150 all kinds of signals didn't have nothing to do with the engine luckily I was able to push it back in place and it's running fine now don't push on it😮
I just take the floor jack handle and use half of it to wedge between the gas pedal to my driver seat and put it in the on position. I have the 99 acura tl but it uses a cable so no big deal there
I moved mine quite a bit everything still works perfectly fine.. so may not be an issue for some vehicles
Does yours have a metal wire going to it or is it fly-by-wire?

@@bundysgarage fly by wire
did this to my 2008 civic and it still works fine also , i put the plastic end of screw driver in it to
hold it open while i scrub the crap out of it.
@@bundysgarage electronic
are those older models? new ones aren't wired like that?
I somewhat disagree with being advised to not manually move the throttle body i mean all vehicles are different but the service manual for my 2018 Toyota Tacoma says to move the flap by hand. i do agree however to move it slowly but if you not being a reckless it should be fine. however im sure there are some car manufactures who have cheap internals in there electronic throttle body's which can shear. i guess what im trying to say is when in doubt refer to the service manual of your specific vehicle.
but anyhow great video
What could be the reason when, after cleaning the throttle body on a Camry 2005 (cleaning on a car with the pedal pressed), rpm jump up to 2200 after starting up, go down to 1500 in 3 seconds and then drop to normal idle (650-700) with warming up? Before that, the rpm jump was up to a maximum of 1500-1600.
Could be the computer sensing the difference in flow and slowly relearning everything. Should be alright after driving a while.
@@MikeCC It's been like this for more than a month
@@MxmVslv disconnect your battery, the ECM fuse and throttle body plug for 15min on a cold engine. Reconnect from throttle body backwards! Put the car on for 40sec and chk warning lights. If throttle body light is on then switch key of. Try on and off procedure till throttle warning light is off. Then start enging without refs let it idle till engine max opp temp!😂😀😁
have you tried relearning the idle for your car ? look into that for your specific car and it could help with this high idle problem
@@gaecoomforeeskin4842 I did a few calibrations but they didn't help (1. Disconnecting the battery terminal for a few minutes running N and D with brakes for 4 minutes and driving for 1 hour at >45 mph. 2. Disconnecting the battery overnight, idling 40 min in P, with an additional 5 min in D and driving >50 mph for >3 hours).
I have a 2012 Dodge Avenger and I think I need mine clean. How can I tell if I really do? What are the symptoms?
Did u fix it
Did you fix it
Did you fix it
Yikes! What if I had already open the throttle butterfly by hand to clean it? How will I know for sure that I didn't just screw up my 2018 chevrolet traverse throttle body butterfly?
once you re-install it, you will know.
Ok so if I have my 2007 Toyota Corolla off and I just step on the gas pedal with everything off, I run the risk of damaging the throttle??? I’m just surprised if a person could accidentally press the gas and cause harm. Or is it only if you open the butterfly from the front vs the gas pedal?
Oh wait…. If my car is completely off, and I press the gas pedal. I’m guessing the butterfly doesn’t actually open because the accessories aren’t on. Correct??
it won't open if you have the ignition off... you don't have to turn on your car but just put it on start, where all the lights come ON but don't turn on the car... when you step on the gas, the throttle body butterfly opens. then you can clean a bit better.
I think the poster meant, don't push with your fingers on the butterfly.
Do not do It while on the motor and use throttle cleaner which is easier on the throttle body
Hello my name is Dene like Rene , but with a D. When you have the time i was wondering if you can answer my question.
Looks like 2 years later he doesn't have the time 😂
Should've just asked your question, this isn't a phone call lol
Damn lol well I look like I'm buying a new throttle body. Shiit 200 bucks down the drain lol I push the Butterfly flap why the car was off when removing the upper manifold and my car now after putting everything back together is now idling weird and I have a code reader and said clean throttle body but I'm sure it's broken lol rip
computer might just need to readjust like after you clean the throttle body it idles funny for a few days.
Damn if it was the electric throttle body then you ended up like me , having to purchase a new one 😭🤦🏽♀️ I totally forgot mine was electric while cleaning it and of course I ruined it by manually pushing in the butterfly by hand so had to buy a new one , in total it cost me almost three hundred dollars 😒🤷🏽♀️
@Aidan Bhuiyan Aftermarket is the worst ! That will cause your car to run like shxt , they through off the idle by putting on an aftermarket especially if it had an air mass flow sensor attached to it
Have you guys done a throttle position sensor reset at all?
I moved mine and it idled really high. I drove it around about 20 miles and it corrected itself..
so I turned my car on and used a stick to accelerate it and it did not open
I've done it. How else do you expect to clean it, I do it with the car off, and I gently open it and gently close it, that shouldn't ruin anything. If you are experienced with working on servos, then you know what you're doing
This is not true on all the vehicles. On my Ford F150 I cleaned it and move the flapper and no issues issues.
yes , older non electronic cable controlled with spring you can just push in.
I accidentally did that and had to purchase a new one 🤦🏽♀️
ouch,, bummer !
Me too
Did you force it open? Mine was partially opened and I could close it but would spring back to partially open if didn't hold it closed. Is this what you did or did you force it open?
Oops 😢😢😢, I guess it's Time to send l.c.engeneering,a check.
What?
😂😂😂 someone doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
What? This video is unintelligible. Seriously listen to the first 18 seconds. WHAT
