Procedures

THROTTLE BODY (THROTTLE VALVE AREA) CLEANING




1. Remove the air intake hose from the throttle body.

CAUTION:
- Do not spray the cleaning solvent directly to the throttle valve.
- Make sure the cleaning solvent does not enter the motor from the bypass line. Also make sure the cleaning solvent does not enter the sensor through the shaft.
- Molybdenum disulfide is applied to the area around the throttle valve shaft (as shown on the left). Therefore, do not clean this area with cleaning solvent.

Spray cleaning solvent on a clean cloth.

2. Wipe off the dirt around the throttle valve with the cloth sprayed with cleaning solvent.
3. Attach the air intake hose.
4. Adjust the basic idle speed.
