How often does Tan Yue X clean the throttle?

Tan Yue X's throttle is cleaned every 20,000-30,000 kilometers. If the throttle is not particularly dirty, it can be cleaned directly with cleaning agent without disassembling the throttle. However, the throttle can be removed and cleaned, and it can be cleaned better. The cleaning steps for removing the throttle valve are as follows:

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

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

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

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

In addition, there is a cleaning method without removing the throttle. As long as the engine is running, the cleaning agent can be sprayed directly on the accelerator. The practice of most 4S shops and after-sales service centers is to spray cleaning agent into the accelerator while spraying the fuel door. At this time, it will be found that the vehicle emits white smoke, mainly because the cleaned dirt is strongly ignited by the suction cylinder and then discharged. This cleaning method is relatively harmful to the car, so the disassembly cleaning method is more beneficial and healthier for the car.
