Signs that the throttle needs cleaning

Throttle is a very important part, which controls the amount of air entering the engine. Let me introduce the symptoms of the need to clean the throttle and how to clean it.

Sign 1: Idle speed is unstable! When the car is idling, the engine speed will be unstable and jitter will occur. This is usually caused by unstable airflow caused by dirty throttle.

Symptom 2: Increased fuel consumption! When the throttle valve becomes dirty, it will affect the intake of the engine, resulting in insufficient fuel combustion and increasing fuel consumption. According to statistics, when the throttle resistance increases by 10%, the fuel consumption will increase by about 10%.

Symptom 3: lack of motivation! Too dirty throttle will also lead to insufficient engine power, slow acceleration and even unable to provide power quickly when overtaking.

Symptom 4: The noise is getting louder and louder! Too dirty throttle will make a lot of noise when the engine is running, especially when accelerating and driving at high speed.

Symptom 5: Smell! Too dirty throttle can also cause the car to produce odor during driving, such as black smoke. This is because of the harmful gas produced by insufficient fuel combustion.

For the above signs that the throttle valve needs cleaning, we can take the following steps to clean it:

Remove the throttle: Take the vehicle to a repair shop or remove the throttle yourself. Be careful not to damage the surrounding parts.

Cleaning: soak the throttle in cleaning agent, clean the surface with a soft brush, and then rinse it with clean water. ?

Installation: put the cleaned throttle valve back to its original position to ensure that the sealing ring is installed correctly without any damage or deformation.

Check: Start the vehicle and check whether the throttle valve works normally. Is the idle speed stable? Has the fuel consumption returned to normal? Has the power increased? Is the noise reduced? Is there any peculiar smell?

Pay attention to the following points when cleaning the throttle:

First, don't use too much force to remove or install the throttle, so as not to damage the surrounding parts.

Secondly, the cleaning agent used should be suitable for the material of the throttle to avoid corrosion or damage to the throttle.
