The first throttle body cleaning
2018-09-03
So, after cleaning the oil separator, it became clear that cleaning the throttle body was unavoidable.For the cleaning, I bought a throttle body gasket and an IAC valve gasket. For the cleaning, I also decided to compare Abro (carburetor cleaner) with Profam 1000. IMO, Profam simply outperforms it in every way. I think next time I'll use exclusively Profam.
Unfortunately, I couldn't completely disassemble the IAC valve and the throttle position sensor. The TPS is stuck tight on small, seized bolts. And it's pretty difficult to remove the locking cylinder from the IAC (I don't know the correct name for that part).
After the cleaning, by the way, I didn't notice any difference. The feel of the gas pedal remained unchanged.
