Great Video! I did this on my 168,000mi. Accord and only took me about 25 minutes. I used a 2x4 pressed up against the seat to press the gas pedal while doing this procedure and when I was all done, the car idled perfectly. No more drone or heavy vibration in the interior and it starts up slightly faster now. I didn’t think a little bit of carbon cleanup would make a difference, but I was so wrong. 😂 going strong at 168,000 miles, wish to get to 200,000 *cross my fingers*
Keep it clean (Flush Radiator, Transmission, Brake fluid, Oil, Filters, Throttle Body) and you will get 200,000 MORE... Enjoy the ride.
@@DaminalTheAminal What are the intervals for flushing the radiator and brake fluid? I never hear of anyone doing this.
@@TheNuclearBolton he doesn't either thats why he still hasn't replied
@@EmorSceneForME lol
I had everything flushed your local Honda dealer service center would know that info...they usually recommend stuff when you go for oil changes some things be accurate.
Excellent video. You showed how to do the job and not take apart extra stuff that others did, which saved time. Took me 30 minutes. Dash was a Xmas tree of lights for the rest of the day,....but ceased at night time. So glad it re- learned quickly. I can tell that you are a mechanic by trade. Note: My butterfly valve was STUCK from so much build-up. Wow!
Good video straight to the point no extra unnecessary talking good angles

Thank you very much! It worked perfectly. The idle is very smooth now, even with the A/C on. Excellent!
I've learned so much from your channel in just an hour. I have so much work to do now. I have a 2017 Accord Sport and my most recent project is upgrading the battery to the V6 spec 24F battery.
Yoo I got the same car, wanna connect?
I've recently SEMI-taken off the throttle body of my Accord and cleanned it, and I found the 2 joints to be carboned up the most. For the first time I removed the 4 screws on the throttle to take off the whole piece, but I was stuck when I found that the 2 coolant hoses are impossible for me to disconnect🥲. So I did the cleanning job with the piece inside the engine bay 😅. What I learned this time is that pushing the plate when the connector is off will not damage the piece. You just need to be slow and gentle.
And I finally found the culprit that caused my car to be powerless to accelerate. It was NOT the throttle body, or the fuel pump, or any of the mass air flow, intake manifold absolute, air fuel ratio and EVAP purge. It was the canister. I should not have used Marvel Mystery Oil. The car was all fine but slow to accelerate after 70km/h.
I got 80k on my 2014 odyssey which I will need to clean this weekend. thanks for the video, it give me confident :)
What was doing ? That u have to clean it?
@@chuloramirez7388 it was a little dirty, I can feel the car more responsive after. I am strongly recommended clean it every 50k, I use 87 and drive a bit hard on my Odyssey.
@@itstime3088 ty
Great video straight to the point 👍🏾
Great job! Clear pics, simple instructions and professionally done. I took care of my 2014EX in about 25 minutes. Even carefully cleaned the edges of the plate as there was some buildup there as well. And that included cleaning out the air filter housing. I used a shovel turned upside down wedged against the Driver seat to hold the accelerator pedal down. The car started up quicker than normal. I’ve had some delay and I’m thinking maybe because the plates aren’t opening quick enough could’ve caused the delay. What triggered this “fix” is an FCW system failure and the car not able to start unless I wait for a while or reset the codes. Maybe this fix solves two issues! Thank you very much!
First start up may be rough. Make sure you reset the idle, video in description.
Thanks. I wasn’t clear but previous to this cleaning I have had some delay in start ups. No problems now.
Easy peasy. Thought cleaning would help the shitty idle shake but I’ve come to the conclusion that the shake I’ve been feeling is the norm for these four cylinder engines with Honda. I’ve just about tried everything. Great vid as always!
Yeah especially at idle and in gear. I can't stand 4 cylinders lol
my extensive reading online has concluded that the shake is not purely due to the vibration of the working engine.
if you had any chance to try a 2017 new CRV LX with 2.4L engine
@@zkmoonea yeah. But I gotta point out that my 2013 accord was one of the first batch that came out when they released 9th Gens. I’ve done everything possible (besides getting a new engine) to try to correct it, but nothing worked. The car is paid off, and will be looking forward to trading it in.
@@jmc224 the new crv and new accord are very solid. very minor shake idle. try them. Honda must have changed something.
Professional job. Excellent presentation. Thanks
Wait, so by driving around for a while the car will essentially performs an idle relearn itself/adjusts how much the throttle gate opens? So I could do this without a scan tool?
Thank you so much! Solid, easy to follow.
What kind of oil is used to lube the PCV line hole on the intake tube?
just engine oil
@@MrRangerZr1 Great tip.... I spent 30 minutes getting mine back on...I saw you just slide it back on and thought, you magnificent bastard!!!..;-) . Doing my other car tomorrow...
Excellent job but I have check engine light after i did cleaning and after the car drive great and powerfull the car start check and high rpm on park if you have any solution please
Did you get it fixed? Throttle position relearn?
@@bigabescanal2799I did fix it thank you, turn off the battery for 10 mins then hit the acceleration till 3 rpm for minute then leave the car on for 20 mins without driving and all good , thank you so much for your support and your way is the simple way to clean the throttle body👌👍
Thank you , I have a question would having a dirty t body create a surge under load at low rpm ? example on up hill freeway on ramp during low rpm vehicle surges no dash light . On highway it drives great its just low rpm
it can yes
If you open the throttle plate with your hands does it damage the throttle body? Without putting anything on the accelerator
yes
great vid simple and short step by step can you do one to install a throttle body spacer on the 2017 accord thank you
that's a gimmick and does absolutely nothing except for waste your time and money.
Lol
@@TheNuclearBolton it's true
Will it hurt if I clean the mass air flow sensor for preventative maintenance?
Not at all. You are right there anyway. Just be sure to use Mass Air Flow cleaner only, and not throttle body or other cleaners...
If you unplug the battery for 5 minutes, it will reset automatically (or so I've done and has seemed to work for me)... If anyone can school me on why this is not a best practice, I'm always willing to learn. Great accelerator trick... that is really cool... I was using my fingers... Your way ROCKS!
So it depends how dirty your tb is. If you tb wasn't too dirty, you can maybe get away with the battery reset and ECU adjust on itself. If it's super dirty, ECU cannot adjust and will trip a CEL. Either way, it is best to reset the tb value with a scantool like I show in the other video after cleaning the tb.
great video , just did this and didnt get an CEL / idle problem. My only concern is the air intake hose was difficult to put back in place . How do you know the host fits correctly and there is no leak , especially at the bottom of the hose where its impossible to see.
Feel around the bottom, also there are tabs you can line up, refer to 2:25.
Yes, just put a lot of man power into it and you oughta be good.
I’ve heard bad things about cleaning the throttle body in my 2008 Civic LX. I want to clean it but I’ve heard you must use an expensive scan tool for the idle relearn.
As long as you follow my videos you'll be 100% fine
Great video, tks! Checking if there is a difference between using throttle plate cleaner vs throttle body cleaner?
Same thing
what kind of oil do you use when you put the PCV line back? will WD-40 work or do you need grease? Also, the dealer said they insert some kind of probe into the throttle in addition to this step, are you aware if that is accurate or if that's just non-sense? Thank you this is very helpful.
just engine oil don't use wd-40
dealerships always make up stuff lol
My car is breathing, high idle, hesitating at 3000 RPM after this cleaning... (CRV 2013 4 Cyl 120K miles). Any suggestions would be helpful... It was very dirty.. I think I need to remove entire throttle body and clean from both sides?
No you need to reset the throttle body: czcams.com/video/d35_0-S_84g/video.html
Hello quick question, just did a throttle body cleaning on honda civic 2016, now having a rough idle it did not have before and got an emission systems problem.
Do I need to just reset both the TP Position and other error to fix these issues?
Appreciate the help!
Yes just reset the throttle position with the scantool: czcams.com/video/d35_0-S_84g/video.html
Hi bro, I just cleaned my Accord 2013 throttle body. However the rpm is high at 1200 to 1300. How can I relearn the idle? And so I need a TPS calibration first before doing the relearn?
Watch my throttle body reset video
What type of oil did you use to lube the pcv hole? It kind of looked like a type of grease
Engine oil, don't use grease.
Is it better let it learn on its own or use a scan tool ? I have a scan tool I just want to know which one is a better way ? Thanks
If you have the scantool just use that. Most of the time it needs to be relearned via scantool.
Can I use dielectric grease instead of oil when reinstalling the pcv valve?
sure
The throttle body was cleaned and reset, but the car engine was vibrating after about two days, when the transmission was at d or r, and the throttle was reset again, and after about two days, the vibration was back on again, so what is the solution?
check your motor mounts
Would this be the same procedure for a 2015 Honda CRV? Thanks
yes
I cleaned the throttle body on my 2016 Pilot and now the car dies after idling for a few minutes. Does anyone know if I need to do anything electronically after messing with it in order to get it reacclimated to the computer? I'm getting mixed messages ab of it it online...
Yes you have to reset the idle with a scantool: czcams.com/video/d35_0-S_84g/video.html
Question: why do you need to power the car on while cleaning the throttle body?
Thanks!
So you can electronically open the throttle plate to clean the tb
Would this be the same procedure for a 2017 Honda civic ?
Same process more or less
MrRanger, I'm working on my mom's push-button start 2016 Hyundai Elantra 1.8L 4 cylinder engine. I put it in accessory mode and had someone step on the gas pedal and the flap doesn't open. Have any idea why it won't open? It will open if the engine is running though. I'm trying to clean the throttle body without taking it off, any help is appreciated.
Generally it opens, but some cars may not open, like in your case. Sounds like you'll need to remove the TB to clean it.
@@MrRangerZr1 Ok, thank you.
@@douglasbollinger3626 You can just reach in there also... Not as easy, but not that difficult.
@@DaminalTheAminal Thank you.
Mr. Ranger is there an idle air control valve near that throttle body that some times requires cleaning? My 2015 Accord 4 cylinder idles roughly or nearly stalls when AC compressor kicks on. Nice video thanks for sharing.
It's basically built in. Check your battery/alternator and clean the tb.
all Accords do this ! so its normal!!
Rough idle on manuals are more noticeable I believe. Im gonna try this
I fixed the A/C idle with some valve cleaner and an A/C recharge. I used Berryman intake/valve/exhaust cleaner. You let your car drink the cleaner through a straw (basically), let it digest, then force the crud out the tailpipes by driving it. Takes about an hour. I did this for the first time at 100k, so it stalled from the effort initially. After a couple restarts, with the carbon deposits gone, it's insanely smooth. I've only ever driven older used cars, so to have it be this smooth is beyond what I thought possible.
My throttle plate doesn't open when i press gas pedal what could be the cause of this
Watch the video again
Yeah i watched the whole video and my throttle body plate does not open
@@chevyss934 did you power on the car (engine off accessories on) and then press the gas pedal? Someone has to hold the pedal down while you clean carefully
@@MrRangerZr1 yes my wife was inside the car holding the gas pedal while i attempted to clean no luck i guess my throttle body might b the issue itself
@@chevyss934 what car is this?
Hi, I wanna ask, i have 2017 honda accord sport 2.4L. My car is about 60,000 miles. And i did oil changes every 5000 miles with mobil 0w-20.
And right now the car is kind of slow (low rpm), it’s not like before the car responds quickly. It’s like when i speed up or accelerate (when accelerator is pressed), but it’s slow acceleration. I did cleaned the throttle body of the car, but seem like it’s just stay the same slow acceleration. My friends said that i need to replace the fuel filter of the car some said i need to replace fuel injector and spark plug. ( and since i cleaned the throttle body, and the eat more gas but it’s still slow)
Would you please help me? I really appreciate your help.
Thank you in advance
No need to change the fuel filter.
I would check the engine air filter and clean the MAF sensor:

@@MrRangerZr1 thank you for responding. I will check it and let you know. Have a good weekend Sir!!
At 100k miles change the coils and spark plugs according to the dealer..
@@regrich8795 The spark plugs yes. The coils? I doubt it. My car (13 Accord 2.4L CVT) is at 325K miles, and I am on the fence about changing the coils because I sometimes experience a longer than usual cranking time before startup. I have the new coils in my trunk waiting to swap them out, when my car cranks too long consistently. Right now it only cranks long after it has sat for a couple of hours and I turn it on again. But mornings and after my 8-9 hour shift, it starts right away. The long cranking started about 6 months ago, until it finally did not start anymore. In my case, I replaced the high pressure fuel pump.
Thank you so much man
Hello. Can you use acetone to clean the throttle body?
Best to use throttle body cleaner
Great video Thanks.
Thank you! 👍
Does anyone know how to clean up the throttle body on a Honda Accord hybrid 2017? There’s not even a single video out there on any hybrid Honda models.
Same process really, just watch out for the orange high voltage cables.
Nope the housing is different.
Where would the IAC valve be located? under the throttle body?
Built in
Does anyone know if the process is the same on a 2018? The dealership wants to charge me $280 to do this!
same process
What kind of oil are you rubbing into the PVC line hole?
just regular engine oil
HI .Do you need to reprogram?
Depends how dirty it was but generally yes. Video in description.
Thank you awesome advice.
Knowing myself I'll end up throwing a bolt inside the throttle body. 😂
I just purchased a 2013 4 cyl accord with 84,000 miles. Any maintenance that should be done around this mileage? Also, anything to watch out for as the vehicle ages like common problems? Looking to make this car last as long as possible.
Just keep doing on-time maintenance, these are long lasting cars.
Don't delay oil changes.
i'd recommend for you to do the transmission fluid and filter as soon as possible. especially if you don't know if its been done before.
I recommend using some valve cleaner. My go to is the Berryman branded one. I did it at 100k, and the amount of carbon being cleaned off caused the engine to initially stall getting out of the driveway. Runs much smoother now. Also, consider an A/C recharge. The fluid leaks out over the years, and the compressor needs the oil change.
You might want to take a whiff of the transmission fluid, especially if it's a CVT. Aside from changing the oil (don't trust the previous owner), you should verify that's in good condition. If it has a burnt smell, replace it. Mine smelled like manure when I changed it (couldn't find anything about that when I googled, maybe I'm special) and the car put up a maintenance code for the fluid shortly after I did so. As far as I'm aware, my car is on the original transmission with no issues. YMMV, but I think the bad rap for CVTs came from early Nissan CVTs; they had terrible quality control.
The maintenance minder system is entirely mileage based, so as a side note it can't track brake fluid. Obviously, if you're in a dusty environment like I am, you can also disregard the normal air filter change interval. Eyeball it. Keep it clean and change your fluids on time.
This engine is actually a common swap-in for enthusiasts modding other cars. It's known for its modding potential and reliability. If you go that route, be aware that the vendors who do work with CVT-equipped Accords recommend a 250 HP limit for the CVT. That puts turbo builds out of the question if you're running the CVT like I am.
As someone mentioned about the transmission oil, for me, the maintenance minder has alerted me for this service approx. every 45K miles. I have followed that and am currently at 325K miles on my '13 Accord 2.4L with my CVT running pretty smooth still. I would also like to mention, that I just recently replaced my high pressure fuel pump and had removed the air duct like this video. I did not think about cleaning the throttle body while I had access, and my car is still running fine. So, rest assured that your car will probably be fine for a while without doing this cleaning yet. If you get some rough idles, stalling, etc., then give it a try.
@@MrRangerZr1at what oil percent / miles do you change the oil ?
How long would it take for the engine to relearn the new throttle position?
Depends how dirty it was before. If the CEL doesn't come on right away, then it's learning on its own. If it does, then it can't, it can but can take a while like a week or two of driving.
@Devilik yes
@Devilik probably wasn't too dirty or ECU was able to relearn by itself
My car started up right away and idled perfectly and this was in a car with 168,000 miles where the throttle body had never been cleaned before. I don’t know why some people are having issues. Could be user error with installing the boot or vacuum line.
If my AC is on and the car shuts off or wants to shut off when I’m at a light, could this be the cause ??? Thanks
it can if it's extremely dirty
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks so much I’m going to clean this bad boy out tomorrow
I just clean mine, but now I feel like my car is getting slower and also talking more gas then before. Please suggest me thank you!
Do the throttle body reset, video in description.
If I clean the Mass Airflow Sensor should I disconnect the battery?
No need
@@MrRangerZr1 I just wanted to say thank you. I cleaned the Throttle Body and the Mass Airflow Sensor without any problems. Now I have to get the courage to change my Brake Pads and rotors.

Hi sir! What type of picking tool do you recommend? to break the seal of CV line into the intake tube? Thanks
What I meant by that was you use a picktool to carefully go around the pvc line, because the rubber and solid line gets stuck together after some time.
Links are in the description.
@@MrRangerZr1 ok got it, just the normal picking tools. Thank you
Can you take off the throttle body and clean it?
Yes
Is it okay if I touch&clean the throttle body plate? Or do I have to only clean the sides?
Only if you have to very carefully
@@MrRangerZr1 I cleaned it carefully and my check engine light turned off, thr car first runned a little weird and rpm gage started going up and down but after 15 minutes of letting the car run on park, it started to run normal. now it runs perfect! Thanks for the video it helped me a lot and saved big money.
@@empusa6159 yeah it usually learns on its own but if it was really dirty it would need a scanner
@@MrRangerZr1 what scanner do you need if it doesn't learn on its own? Do I just use a code scanner?
