How often does the throttle have to be cleaned?

Pacific Auto Network cleans the throttle every 20,000 to 40,000 kilometers. Failure to clean the throttle for a long time will lead to the deviation of throttle opening, and air with impurities will enter the combustion chamber of the engine. Both of these results will lead to abnormal engine operation, mainly manifested in unstable idle speed, sudden feeling of throttle when driving, power decline, and even difficult starting and increased fuel consumption.

It is usually recommended that the owner clean the throttle every 20-40 thousand kilometers, but this is only a reference value, and the specific cleaning cycle should be determined according to the personal car habits and car environment.

Usually, there are two ways to clean the throttle in 4S stores, disassembly and cleaning and disassembly-free cleaning. The former is to remove the whole throttle assembly, and then clean it thoroughly with special cleaning agent before recovery. Although this method is troublesome, it is better than thorough cleaning.

The cleaning method is as follows: 1. To remove the accelerator, the first thing to do is to stop the car and wait for the temperature to drop. Find the right position and use the corresponding tools. Don't take off the accelerator by violent means. Loosen all parts and take them off slowly. Otherwise, it will hurt other parts and make the later work more difficult.

2. Clean the interior. If you want to see what's going on inside, let the engine run. You can see a lot of stains coming out. However, there will be brown stains flowing from the inside of the throttle. Do not spray the cleaning agent directly into it, which will combine the spray with the fuel and cause damage.

3. Throttle Cleaning At this time, you can clean the removed throttle, and at the same time buy professional throttle cleaning products to prevent stains from remaining, but also protect people's health and safety. Wear masks, gloves and glasses.

Disassembly-free cleaning is to spray the accelerator cleaning agent directly on the wiping cloth to scrub the accelerator. The whole process does not need to disassemble the throttle assembly, and the operation is relatively simple and easy. But everything has two sides, and the cleaning effect of this method is relatively general, which is only applicable to the throttle that is not particularly dirty. If the throttle is dirty and there is a lot of dirt, it is best to remove it and clean it.
