How to clean throttle bodies

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Throttle body

Video tutorial

The throttle body acts as a valve that controls the amount of air entering the engine. When you press the accelerator, the throttle valve opens, allowing more air to enter the engine; conversely, when you release the pedal, the valve closes, reducing airflow.

In this video, Tunap, a leading company in automotive chemistry, shows how to clean this component. Remove the engine cover and the intake hose, then start the engine, allow it to warm up, and spray inside at regular intervals while accelerating.

This way, the functionality of the throttle body is restored to 100%.
