Best Answer

The throttle body on an engine houses the throttle, which controls the amount of fuel that enters the engine. It controls the engine's ability to maintain an idle, prevents stalling, and aids in acceleration. If the throttle body is dirty, it can cause problems with the engine running properly. During a standard service, sludge and carbon buildup out of the throttle body and off the throttle blade. The vehicle's computer is then hooked up to a special machine for an idle relearn procedure.
