What are the benefits of cleaning the throttle?

Many car owners report that it is recommended to clean the throttle every time they go to the 4s shop for maintenance. What are the benefits of cleaning the throttle? They say it can improve engine performance. Is this a fact? Let's take a look at the benefits of cleaning the throttle first. How much does it cost to clean the throttle once?

What are the benefits of cleaning the throttle?

1. If the throttle valve is not cleaned, air will flow through the throttle valve, and naturally a large amount of dust and sand will enter the throttle valve, which will form black putty deposits together with the oil vapor discharged from the crankcase, resulting in the inflexible action of the throttle valve.

2. If the throttle valve is not cleaned, the air entering the engine will contain many impurities, which will affect the normal combustion of gasoline and reduce the working power of the engine. In severe cases, there will be unstable idle speed, difficult starting and power reduction.

Now, do you know the benefits of cleaning the throttle? However, it does not mean that it should be cleaned every time. Excessive cleaning will lead to premature scrapping of the throttle. Frequent cleaning will cause the special coating of the throttle cavity to be washed away gradually, and the cavity will lose its coating, which will more easily lead to greasy adhesion, thus forming a vicious circle, and the final result is scrapping.

What is a throttle?

Throttle is a controllable valve used to control air to enter the engine, equivalent to a car? Throat? Before the air enters the engine, it needs to pass through the throttle and then mix with the engine oil to form a combustible mixture to participate in combustion and work. The cleanliness of the throttle affects whether the idle speed is stable and whether the acceleration is flexible.

There are usually two ways to clean the throttle valve, disassembly cleaning and disassembly-free cleaning. Generally, the cleaning of the throttle in 4s shops is disassembly and washing, so it is necessary to disassemble the whole throttle assembly, and then thoroughly clean it with special cleaning agent before recovering. Although this method is troublesome, it has the advantages of thorough cleaning effect and high price. Generally around 300-500 yuan in the 4s shop.

Disassembly-free cleaning is to spray the throttle cleaner directly on the wiping cloth to scrub the throttle. The whole process does not need to disassemble the throttle valve assembly, and the operation is relatively simple and convenient. Car owners can buy their own cleaning agent, the price is only tens of dollars, and then clean the throttle, but this method is simple, the cleaning effect is average, and it is best to use it on the throttle that is not particularly dirty.

Finally, it should be noted that the throttle opening should be reset after cleaning the throttle, otherwise the automobile computer has memorized the opening when there is carbon deposit. If it is not reset, the engine will have unstable idle speed and high speed, which is worse than before cleaning. Different models have different reset methods, which will not be introduced here. If the owner has concerns, it is best to go to a professional repair shop or 4s shop for maintenance.

What are the benefits of cleaning the throttle? I hope I can help you.
