How often does Elantra's throttle have to be cleaned?

#rts# Generally, the throttle valve should be cleaned once every 20-30 thousand kilometers. If the throttle is not particularly dirty, it can be cleaned directly with cleaning agent without disassembling the throttle. Just, remove the throttle and clean it, and it will be much cleaner. The following are the specific steps of cleaning:

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

2. Remove the hose connecting the throttle and the air filter first, and then remove the assembly of the air filter;

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

4. Use special throttle cleaner or carburetor cleaner, spray a little on the throttle, wait for the organic solvent to dissolve the carbon deposit, and clean the stain after 1-2 minutes.

In addition, it can be cleaned without removing the throttle. When the engine is running, just spray the cleaning agent into the throttle. The practice of many 4S shops and maintenance points is to slam on the accelerator while spraying cleaning agent into the accelerator. At this time, the car will emit white smoke, mainly because the cleaned stains are strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and then discharged. This cleaning method is very harmful to the car. It is suggested that disassembling and cleaning will be better and healthier for the car.
