How often does the Accord throttle have to be cleaned?

Clean the accelerator of the Accord every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If the throttle is not very dirty, you can clean the throttle directly with cleaning agent without disassembling the throttle. But if the throttle is removed for cleaning, it can be cleaned more cleanly. The following are the specific steps of cleaning:

1. Find the position of the throttle, which is behind the air inlet and connected to the air filter;

2. First remove the connecting hose between the throttle valve and the air cleaner, and then remove the air cleaner assembly;

3. Then remove the throttle cable, unscrew the fixing bolt and remove the throttle;

4. Spray carburetor cleaner or special cleaner directly on the throttle valve, wait for the carbon deposit to be dissolved by organic solvent, and dry it after 1-2 minutes.

In addition to the above methods, you can also use the cleaning method without removing the throttle. When the engine is running, spray the cleaning agent into the throttle. The practice of most 4S shops and maintenance points is to spray cleaning agent into the accelerator while stepping on the accelerator to the end. At this time, the vehicle will emit white smoke because the cleaned stains are strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and then discharged. This cleaning method is very harmful to the vehicle. Generally, it will be better to take it apart and clean it, and it will not cause too much damage to the vehicle.
