cleaned throttle body..big difference!

[josueh95]

so today i decided to look into the throttle body and it was filthy soo i decided to clean it..i removed it so i could clean it well. what a difference it made. idles much smoother and the accelerator feels much better. as soon as i hit the gas a bit it instantly reacts, which before it would feel like it lagged when i pressed the gas. i heard it will also increase mpg a bit..i recomend this for anybody i am extremely happy with the results with such an easy thing to do

Thanks for the reminder, I'm a bit passed due on it as well as seafoaming the intake and cleaning the MAF (I always do all 3 at the same time)!

That and the MAF cleaning, always good to stay on top of it!

What is the proper way to clean a MAF?

Follow the instructions on the back and be careful not to touch the screen with your bare hands it is delicate.

okay soo mass air flow sensor is next to clean, i dnt think my throttle body had ever been cleaned it had alot of build up in there and being a 2000 dats a loong time. i also heard cleaning the Idle Air Control valve is a good idea to do?

also is there any way i can clean the air intake manifold? it also had alot of buildup all around but i did not want to mess with it before making sure?

For the MAF cleaner, you're supposed to remove the MAF, spray the CRC on there and then let it air dry. i have the K&N intake, so i just remove the tube and filter and spray the MAF and then let it dry for like 1/2 hour while i clean the TB. not sure about other intakes, but i dont have to remove mine. I'm probably due for a cleaning too pretty soon

I just sprayed the intake manifold with TB cleaner while I had my TB off. Then just use the air blower to let fluid dry and mine started right up with no probs.

Cleaned both today while working on new plugs. What is the best way to use seafoam?
