How to clean the throttle?

The contaminated throttle is able to serve as the incorrect operation of the motor, provoking the deterioration in the dynamics of vehicle overclocking and a significant drop in its power. Over time, this element is polluted, therefore, to prevent such problems with the car, you need to know how to clean the throttle. In this article we will look at how to do it yourself.

Throttle car damper where installed, why is needed?

The main function of the throttle is the air supply to the collector. This element is located between the air filter and the intake manifold. Valve flaps in working condition is in the open position. When the air is mixed with fuel, an air-fuel mixture is formed, which then enters the combustion chamber. Thus, the proportionality and concentration of air in this mixture directly affects the quality of the engine operation, its traction characteristic and power. When the motor ceases to work, the valve will close, and the transfer of air will stop.

However, the valve is not always closed with a shoved engine. This occurs when the motor is running. All you need for this is to let go of the gas pedal. By the way, with a plugged engine when you click on the accelerator pedal, you also open the valve. It works silently, but if you dramatically release the pedal, the characteristic click will be heard from under the hood - this is the sound of the closing of the damper. The pedal binds to this element using a mechanical drive. So the overwhelming majority of modern throttle valves are arranged.

The throttle is clogged, what features indicate this problem?

There are a number of features that signal the presence of such a problem:

  • Problems with the launch of the motor.
  • Sometimes the scored valve provokes jerks when moving, especially at the start.
  • The work of the motor at idle is worsening ("floating" turns).
  • The dynamics of the car acceleration is noticeably deteriorating.

It is impossible to unambiguously say that the symptoms listed above indicate the damper damage. There are plenty of other factors. Therefore, first check the condition of the candles and the fuel filter (it is also capable of clogging over time), as well as DPDZ. If all the data components are most likely, the damper requires cleaning.

Why, for what reasons the throttle is clogged?

A mixture of air and oil, as well as different road dust microparticles, which pass through the air filter, gradually cover the surface of the nodes and parts of the boost space, as a result of which the throttle is strongly suffering. This happens not often, but you need to read this detail at least once a year. Otherwise, the incorrect operation of the motor is inevitable.

Throttle Cleaning Methods

There are two methods for cleaning the throttle valve: surface cleaning and complete. The first option is simple, but the ineffective way to combat mud accumulating on the throttle node. This method does not require dismantling the damper, since it is assumed that oil spots and deposits will be removed only from its surface. A significant drawback of this method is impossible to completely clean the throttle. In addition, it will not be possible to free the channels and holes of the node from the dirt that accumulated in them.

What cleaners can be used?

Note that the throttle can be processed by any solvent, and not only superficially, and completely. These funds include: WD-40, White spirit and gasoline. However, in comparison with specialized substances that are designed specifically for cleaning dampers, they are not effective enough, so suitable only for external processing.

Tools, fixtures, consumables

Before proceeding with this operation, prepare such tools and materials:

  • The end key to "13".
  • Set of crosses and minus screwdrivers.
  • A product for cleaning the throttle valve, such as ABRO.
  • Rubber medical gloves (they will protect your skin from the cleaner from entering it).

How to clean the throttle with your own hands (step by step)

Order of work:

  1. Remove the decorative lid of the motor, if such is provided with the design of your car.
  2. Unscrew the plug of the expansion tank. Thus, you reduce the pressure level in the cooling system of the car.
  3. Next, remove the air nozzle vent hose.
  4. Carefully inspect the last element for the presence of traces of oil. Their presence means that the slim ventilation channel is scored in the throttle unit.
  5. Then take a crusade and loosen two clamps.
  6. Next, dismantle the flap heating hose (drowned by the ignition car candles).
  7. Now remove the hose of the gas tank ventilation system, for which unscrew the screwdriver for another clamp.
  8. Remove the cable and 2 throttle node nuts.
  9. Next, take the cleaner and rinse the damper and its channels. Also also pay attention to the forced ventilation channel. It is this node that is most focused (sometimes it is necessary to use a long needle or steel needle to clean it.
  10. As for the throttle sensor, it also needs to be removed and cleaned from deposits.
  11. Then unscrew the two fastening bolts of the idle regulator and remove the RXX
    outward
  12. Rinse the channel in the housing of the node.
  13. If RHX has not changed more than 100 thousand km, it is advisable to replace it. Also, if necessary, the RCH rod changes (however, only when it is focused so hard that it is impossible to completely clean it, or with large backlash).
  14. Also pay attention to the throttle node laying. When cleaning the flap, it is desirable to replace the gasket.
  15. At the last stage, collect all the items in the reverse order and check the result.

Tips Prof.

As you can see, clean the throttle from dust and dirt can both forces. The main thing is to choose a high-quality cleaner and remember the safety measures in the process of working with such means.
