clean body

recently my mech cleaned my throttle body. he removed the air filter and spray while revving. then he used a liquid while still revving. within 30 minutes he was done. but im not sure if its the best way. i asked mech y he did not open the throttle body and clean it he said better to do this way cause it cleans the sensors too. im not sure if he is right though.

Mine was, he took out the throttle body, wash it clean with fab soap, then apply some grease.

i think should take out the throttle body first..(remove all sensor la) then clean it with petrol..(especially at the butterfly there)...then spray it with hi pressure air.. n fix back like how it was..(connect every sensor correctly).. that's it.. right??
this is wad my instructor taught me..

scoupe,
urs sound like some carbon cleaning stuffs right?? i heard tht i can clean carbon in combustion chamber also wor??? true ar??

You guys talk about Throttle Body cleaning huh......lucky you all running Single Throttle Body woo. Like we play Toyota Four Throttle lagi pening kepala hahahaha. Other people use one we have extra 3 to think about hahahahaha.

But anyway, this is how I would do Throttle Body cleaning:

It was like almost 1mm of dirt hahahahaha....

Doesn't look too good here either.....

After some spraying, scrubbing and TWO cans of Carb Cleaner and a healthy support of Lacquer Thinner.....

Notice the brown dirt splattered all over the engine block wall and outside? well that's HALF of the contents sprayed out from the intake passages hahahaha

Oh the ISCV valve also gets the same treatment, no pics here but I think our fren can post it up for us.

Important Note:
The example shown above clearly state the importance of using Oil Catch Tank becoz I am absolutely sure that all the dirt and oily grime comes from Engine Oil vapour sucked into the PCV pipe and Cam Cover Breather port. Fuel varnish and carbon alone will not be as dirty looking as this.

Roger and Out!
