To clean the throttle body on a 1997 Buick LeSabre with a 3.8L engine, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body, then use throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth or a brush to gently scrub the inside, focusing on the throttle plate and any carbon buildup. After cleaning, reassemble the components, reconnect the battery, and start the engine to ensure proper operation. Always follow safety precautions and consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions.

Do a bad throttle body cause your engine to ping?

Yes, a bad throttle body can contribute to engine pinging. If the throttle body is malfunctioning, it may lead to improper air-fuel mixtures, causing the engine to run lean. A lean mixture can increase combustion temperatures, which may result in knocking or pinging. Ensuring that the throttle body is clean and functioning properly is essential for optimal engine performance.
