What is cleaning the throttle body all about?

In order to run efficiently and smoothly, your vehicle needs a fuel mixture that is a perfect combination of air and gas. The air intake system is responsible for providing the air part of this equation. The throttle body is the component of the air intake system that determines exactly how much air to let combine with the fuel. When the throttle body is dirty it’s unable to let the right amount of air into the engine.

Keep in mind:

The air intake ducts should be examined when the throttle body is cleaned.
When the throttle body is cleaned, the entire air intake system should be inspected.

How it's done:

Take the snorkle off the throttle body
Spray brake cleaner on the throttle plate
Scrub plate with a brush
Spray the brake cleaner again
Reconnect snorkle

Our recommendation:

Your entire air intake system should be thoroughly examined during routine maintenance and servicing. Consult your owner's manual to see how frequently your throttle body should be cleaned.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to clean the throttle body?

Racing noise from the engine

How important is this service?

The air intake system draws air from outside of the vehicle, and blends it with the gas to create the optimal fuel mixture for your vehicle. The throttle body is the part of this system responsible for controlling exactly how much air is added to the gas. When the throttle body gets dirty, it is unable to allow the optimum amount of air into the air intake system, and the air-gas equation will be incorrect. As a result, your engine will not run smoothly.

Lincoln MKZ V6-3.5L - Blend Air Door Actuator (Passanger) - Plano, Texas

Hello! This was my first time using YourMechanic and I am so impressed. I was having issues with my A/C only blowing cool on one side. I live in Texas and it's the middle of August and not having full A/C was a real concern. I travel a lot for work so the timing was worrisome. I didn't have time to drop my car at the dealership, hope to get a loaner and if not, worry about how to get to and from work for several days. The website and customer service was great but most of all, I was so impressed by my mechanic Jacob k. Smith. He is professional, knowledgeable and SO NICE! You can tell he really cares about his job and providing the best service possible. He really made an impact with me. He knew exactly what to fix, came to my office and did the repair in the parking lot while I was still able to work. He even explained and showed me exactly what he was doing, which was kind of cool. Jacob changed out the Blend Air Door Actuator in no time and it ended up being less than the original quote! I will be using YourMechanic moving forward and hopefully I can request Jacob! HE IS AWESOME! I will definitely be recommending YourMechanic and Jacob!

Lincoln MKZ L4-2.5L Hybrid - Headlight Bulb Replacement (Driver Side Low Beam, Passenger Side Low Beam) - Plainfield, Illinois

Mark was fantastic. Got here and right away he knew just what to do. Very personable guy. He was done before I even knew it! Mark also saw our other vehicle in our garage and he impressed me with his knowledge of that vehicle. I'll be asking for Mark in the future - but now it will be with BOTH of our cars in mind. Thank you, Mark!
