How often is the throttle valve cleaned? Prevent problems with your car

Throttle valve, a controllable valve that controls the entry of air into the engine. The depth of the accelerator pedal can directly affect the opening of this valve. After entering the intake pipe, the gas will be mixed with gasoline to become a combustible mixture, which will burn to form work. It is connected to the air filter and the engine block, which is called the throat of a car engine.

This part of the throat is very delicate. If you don't take good care of your car, you will also get "pharyngitis".

The cleanliness of the throttle affects the idling and dynamic performance of the car. If the carbon deposit is serious, the idling instability, power reduction, and fuel consumption will occur.

If you do not clean the throttle in time, or even do not clean it for a long time, it will cause the car to shake, and the idle speed will be unstable, because the opening of the throttle valve has an error, and the intake air volume is not accurately controlled, which will cause the engine to malfunction.If the throttle valve has serious carbon deposits, fuel consumption will increase directly. When the situation is serious, the car will not start normally.The most direct way to solve the above problems is to clean the throttle regularly and timely. For cleaning the throttle, this is an operation that requires certain relevant knowledge and experience. If you don't understand these, then you are advised to go to the store to clean up.Because a car is a complex internal structure, different cars have different structures, and some cars have a relatively easy to remove the throttle, while others have the opposite. To do it yourself, you need to remove tools, detergent and a dry cloth.

Note that the detergent is corrosive, so do not spray it on yourself, especially protect your eyes. As for the cleaning cycle, it is actually related to the specific situation of driving, and it is recommended to clean it once every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers. You must have a general grasp of the situation of carbon deposits. In the daily driving process, long-term idling of vehicles, fuel quality, insufficient fuel, and congested roads are all causes of serious carbon deposits.

In short, we must have a certain grasp of the carbon accumulation situation, and finally we can clean the throttle in a timely manner so that the "throat" of the car is not sick. Note that carbon deposits can exist not only in the throttle, but also in the valve, combustion chamber, piston top and other locations. Owners must pay more attention to the health of their car.
