Had a look in side my throttle body (nosey) the other week and it was black, filthy. To remove is t just a case of taking off the throttle cable and other bits, then removing the four nuts? Any thing I need like a new gasket etc? Have done Citrioen throttles befors as well as carb rebuilds etc so I'm not new to this, it's just I aint never had a Japaneese car befor and was worried about any little nasties. |

May be worth having a gasket to hand, they are thin and can break on removal. |

Cheers for both replys lads. Think I'll go with the cleaner and a small tooth brush. Give it a clean while it's in place.

I just remove the nuts and cable - just as you're doing/done. You'll notice a difference

I've never done this, but i guess i should, what do i need to clean it and is there any adjustment of the throttle cable involved????? |

I wouldnt go using a toothbrush mate,the spray alone should be strong enough to lift the grime. 1 thing i noticed after cleaning mine out was that my idle increased,because over the years i kept adjusting it up,and when i cleaned it the idle raised by at least 300rpm

Actually, all the times I've done it, I've used a small wire brush (being careful not to let any stray bristles go into the plenum). If you take it off the car, you can be more thorough though. Why shouldn't a toothbrush be used? Mark |
