A good alternative to Throttle Body Cleaner is any other type of carb cleaner. One that seems to work very well is called GUMOUT Carb/Choke Cleaner.
Carbon build up. Clean the throttle body with a good carb cleaner.
I suppose it is possible but I suspect you have carbon build-up in the throttle body. A good cleaning with a throttle body cleaner should clear that sticky throttle up.
Take the throttle body off and spray carb cleaner really good through it. Should do the trick.
If you want to make it better take it to a good garage it's better clean out the throttle body with a throttle body cleaner. Use a tooth brush to clean. wd-40 the linkage where the cable goes into the line (by the accelator petal) may be rusting up there.. If your car is equipped with a throttle body, try taking some carburetor cleaner and a lint free rag and cleaning around the rim of where the butterfly valve closes. to do this you will have to remove the cover to acesss the throttle body be sure not to drop anything into the throttle body when the butterfly valve is open! This is one question I would not ask a Toyota dealer!
Lubricate Change cable Replace throttle body before replacing throttle try cleaning it out real good as a bad enough carbon build up can cause it to stick. It would help to know what kind of car. If the car has fuel injection, you probably need to clean the throttle plate. This is done by removing the throttle body and spraing the inside of the the throttle with throttle plate cleaner. Buy a bottle and read the directions on the can. This will also help improve your performance and gas mileage.
You have to have the computer for the throttle body carb and the fuel pump to match it good luck
Do you mean the IAC valve? It is locsted on the throttle body. Remove air cleaner housing and you will be able to locate 3 sensors there. The MAP sensor, TPS (throttle position sensor) and the IAC valve. The IAC is located closest to the throttle cable. Good luck!
Could be bad throttle body assembly Hello, My '05 Pacifica gas pedal would stick at the top when I would release the gas pedal and I would have to almost "slap" it with my foot to get it to go back down. I oiled the cable at both ends and even tried never seize. I also sprayed the gas pedal where it hinges with WD-40. It seems pretty good right now, But I seemed to notice that it was worse when the weather was hotter. I'll see how it does when the warmer weather comes. I don't know if yours is sticking like that. I hope this is helpfull ....... The inside of the throttle body carbons up, and the throttle plate sticks. You need to clean or have the throttle body cleaned. To clean the throttle body you need to remove the air cleaner hose, spray a shop towel with carb cleaner, hold the throttle open(engine off) and wipe the inside of the throttle body. This is normal both of mine do this have someone hold the throttle open and spray with cleaner and use brush to clean it off around the throttle plate I do this once a year on both of mine
If your failsafe engine light comes on you need to clean your throttle body and have the electronics rebuilt. To remove the throttle body first disconnect the battery. Then disconnect the air cleaner held on by one clamp. Remove the two electrical harnesses from the throttle body. Make sure to move the red tabs to be able to depress the other tabs. Then remove the two engine coolant hoses. The throttle body is held on by four bolts connected to the intake manifold. Remove these bolts and the throttle body should come off. Clean the throttle body thoroughly with throttle boby cleaner and a rag. If you have heavy carbon build up, then either the "special coating "is no longer there, or it's still on and not worth the dam. In either case you can't hurt anything by cleaning it. Go on E Bay in the throttle body catagory and look up BBA remanufacturing in MA. Ther will charge you $320.00 to rebuild the electronics. That includes shipping both ways. When you get it back install it using a new gasket. Connect the battery and you have to reprogram the computer. They will send you instructions on how to do it. It's very easy. That should take care of your failsafe engine light. P.S. I sprayed some silicone in the throttle body, and wiped it out. Good luck.
Have a good tune up including a fuel filter, injector cleaner plugs and wires with a throtle body cleaning..
could be a number of things, but i would try cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor. mine started to do the same thing and a good cleaning solved the problem. make sure to use the correct cleaner as carb cleaner can damage the plastic and the MAF.
Buried. It's about two inches below where the throttle body, on the engine side of the throttle body. Good luck.
