How often does KIA K3 throttle have to be cleaned?

KIA K3 accelerator needs to be cleaned once after driving for about 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If it is not very dirty, you can use the method of cleaning the throttle directly with cleaning agent without disassembling the throttle. But removing the throttle can clean it up more cleanly. The cleaning steps for removing the throttle valve are as follows:

1, first find the position of the throttle valve, which is located behind the air inlet and connected to the air filter;

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

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

4. Use special cleaning agent or carburetor cleaning agent, spray it on the throttle, wait for the organic solvent to dissolve the carbon deposit, and wipe the stain clean after 1-2 minutes.

In addition, there is a cleaning method without removing the throttle. When the engine is running, the cleaning agent is directly injected into the throttle. The practice of many 4S shops and after-sales service centers is to spray cleaning agents while spraying oil doors. At this time, there will be white smoke from the vehicle, mainly because the cleaned stains are strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and then discharged. This cleaning method is very harmful to the car, so the disassembly cleaning method is more harmful and beneficial to the car.
