Do you have a video with electrical throttle? I think it is a different way to clean, correct?

[@5SpeedFix]

@@oddballmedia The process I used in this video is of an electronically controlled throttle body (Fly- by-Wire). I have been doing it this way for years and I have not had an issue yet! Do this when the engine is Cold.

Its ok to spray directly into the throttle body. Another video said not to. Idk 🤷‍♂️

[@5SpeedFix]

@@Caveman76. if you are using Throttle Body cleaner, this won't be an issue. As this is what it was developed for. I have been doing it for years and never had an issue. I normally let it evaporate or try and soak up the excess in the manifold before starting the engine

[@MarkKenworthy-d2d]

What about the why part ?

[@5SpeedFix]

@@MarkKenworthy-d2d when you get the carbon build up in the throttle body over a long period of time, this will cause the flap to want to stick. With Fly-by-wire you really can't tell that this is happening other than slight delay/response on take off. On a cable set up you will definitely notice this as you will feel it in the accelerator peddle when it frees up. Hope this makes sense!

So the engine should be off

[@5SpeedFix]

@@CharityMageza hello, yes engine off and only when engine is cold. Do NOT do this when the engine is hot.
