Benefits of Using Genuine Toyota Throttle Plate Cleaner
When symptoms become evident, there’s often no need to spend hundreds of dollars replacing the throttle body. A throttle body clogged by grime prevents the engine from running properly. This can create performance issues that affect fuel economy. Carbon buildup inside the throttle body may affect the function of the butterfly valve. When this occurs, the gas pedal is hard to push or feels like it sticks.
As a Toyota owner, you know you can depend on your vehicle for many miles to come. Toyota OEM parts will give you both peace of mind and total confidence for all those miles. Genuine Toyota Parts and accessories like this Throttle Plate Clean for your vehicle have been engineered to meet Toyota’s safety, reliability, and functionality standards.
How to Use
Before using this throttle body cleaner, it’s important to take some precautions to ensure your safety and the safety of your car. Always read the instructions on the product carefully before use. Make sure the engine is off and cooled down before applying the cleaner. Wear gloves and protective eyewear. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes from the cleaner.
With engine off, remove air intake duct to expose the throttle body. It may be necessary to remove the MAF sensor. Place a rag under the throttle body to collect runoff. Spray the cleaner directly onto the throttle plate, inside the throttle body, and around the edges of the throttle plate. Manually move butterfly valve back-and-forth while spraying; spray initially, stop and allow solvent to penetrate. Then spray again for maximum effect. Be sure to clean throttle linkages.
Use a soft-bristle brush or toothbrush to gently scrub away dirt, grime, and carbon deposits. Be careful not to scratch the surface or force the brush into small openings. Use shop towels or clean rags to wipe away the loosened dirt, grime, and cleaning residue from the throttle body and surrounding areas. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before reassembly.
Signs Your Throttle Body Needs Cleaning
Recognizing issues early is a critical step to avoiding damage that can’t be reversed – or a costly trip to the mechanic. Signs indicating a problem include rough idling, jumpy or sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, and stalling – all when the engine is fully warmed up. This can also cause your check engine light to turn on, as the vehicle is designed to let you know something in the engine is not working properly. Rough idle is a common symptom of a clogged throttle body. As dirt builds up in the throttle body, it interferes with airflow and creates problems with the engine pressure.
Why Choose Genuine Toyota Parts
The first option should always be to use OEM parts. These parts sometimes referred to as Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts, are of the highest quality, built by Toyota specifically for your Toyota car, truck, SUV or minivan. These are the same high-quality factory parts your Toyota was manufactured with, so you’ll have the best part available when it comes to quality, fit and performance. You bought your Toyota for a reason. Why take chances with aftermarket parts?
Whether you drive an Avalon, Camry, Corolla, Highlander, Prius, RAV4, Tacoma, Tundra, or any other Toyota model, genuine OEM parts are built to last and will keep your vehicle going strong.
