How to clean the dirty throttle body of an Iveco Daily 2.3.

Model: IVECO Daily MK 4 - Years 2006-2020
Part: Throttle body

A dirty throttle body like the one we see in the video can be easily cleaned with just a few inexpensive tools. You will need a throttle body cleaner spray, which can be found on Amazon, for example, with the code B00295EEBK at a price of €11.09, with free shipping for Prime customers, a microfiber cloth, a screwdriver, a pair of gloves, and a soft brush. We need to disconnect the battery and remove the air hose, unscrew the bolts, and detach the electrical connector. Spray the cleaner inside the throttle body and use the brush to remove carbon deposits. Without scratching the surface, clean the throttle plate at the back as well with the cloth, taking care not to spray the cleaner on the sensor. Then let it dry well, reattach the throttle to the air hose, and reconnect the battery. Some vehicles require a reset of the ECU after cleaning, which is done by turning the key to "ON" for 30 seconds, then turning it off and waiting for 1 minute. Start the engine and let it idle for 5 minutes. This way, the ECU relearns the throttle position.
