Can the throttle of Ford Maverick 3.0 engine be cleaned?

Ford should be aware of this problem, so the throttle is designed on the right side of the 1.5T engine, which brings convenience to disassembly and cleaning the throttle. During the weekend, the throttle valve was disassembled, cleaned and reset. The picture and text emphasize several points for the reference of riders:

1, the difficulty lies in the disassembly of the throttle. Although the throttle of 1.5T has been changed to the right side of the engine, there are many pipes above the throttle, and the intake pipe is not a pleated hose, but a hard material pipe, so it is difficult to remove the throttle.

2. The throttle fixing screws are 4 T30 screws.

3. Cleaning agent It is recommended to use special cleaning agent for throttle valve instead of carburetor cleaning agent, which is corrosive to the surface coating and metal materials of throttle valve.

4. The maverick throttle has adaptive function. If the accelerator is not reset, the idle speed of the vehicle will increase to about 2000 after cleaning, and the ECU needs to drive about 10 km for adaptive learning, and the idle speed will gradually return to normal.

5. The most professional and quick KAM reset (throttle matching) method is to use Ford official maintenance equipment VCM2+IDS, and the new IDS lists the KAM menu separately.
