How to clean the throttle body of a Fiat Punto

Model: Fiat Punto MK 3, Punto EVO, 199, Grandepunto - Years 2005-2018
Part: Throttle body

In this video we can see how to clean the throttle body of a Fiat Punto 188: we will need a specific cleaner, which we can find for example on Amazon with the code B01MSW4I21 at the price of 20.28 euros, free delivery for Prime customers. We give it a good spray inside and let it sit for a while, then we do the same thing but with the engine running, revving the engine so that the car does not stall, and continuing to spray so that it can clean itself better. After giving it a good amount of revs, we see that the valve throttle has returned shiny, and we have eliminated the deposits that were previously there. On this car it is possible to open and close the throttle body directly from the engine.
