Proceeds to idle at 2500 rpm 😅
Yes but, you can reprogram it to factory specs
Its call adjusting moron.
Frfr sometimes the gunk is the only thing keeping it together lol!
@@GrimReapingU Well in my car the gunk was causing the car to die at red lights, and cleaned the throttle body with alcohol 91% and problem solved, the good thing is my cars ECU adapts itself after a couple of times driving around town. So that mean I didn't have to reprogram the Throttle body
Pcm is probably going to realize a fault and relearn the TAC/ETC idle position anyway
I hope you used a fresh brush head. Last thing I need is for my throttle body to come down with a case of gingivitis.
Lol yes sure did lol
@@RastamanBuilds right because carbon is good for teeth amazing. Can I use used tp to clean the exhaust. Will food work for gas because I drink gas and run super fast ⏩ braaap n I smoke weed and go faster than don't smoke like smoking racecar r the fastest n crackheads fast to

@@franic_scopes9165 I know. Can u imagine all the soaked panties
@@rosslefave5877 indeed!
Starts to google “why is my car idling weird, I just wiped it”
Because it's fuckin "Mint" condition
@@kits2169 top tier comment
It does help if it's the problem. Otherwise it's probably the idle
A clean throttle body will help with the performance. Great one! I'm getting an electric toothbrush now.😂
😂
😂
🤣
Manufacturers don't recommend that you spray throttle body cleaner near the pivot points. It washes out the lubricant and you may end up with a sticking throttle body. They recommend you use a rag saturated with throttle body cleaner to wipe out the bore.
Thank you
It’s 2023, just replace it 😂
@@SW-xl5lw replace something because its dirty?
Brake cleaner and a rag works too.
P pm
Real Jamaicans 🇯🇲 know we even use our toothbrush 🪥 on our suede desert Clarks 😌
Toothbrush get out the dust faaast
@@RastamanBuilds I hope you wash it well before brushing your teeth with it
@@adamacosta7279obviously a separate toothbrush
@@RastamanBuilds I read that in Kartel’s voice & melody 💀😭
EVERYBODY ASK WHERE MI GET MI CLARKSS 👏🙏🏼🙌
This voice plays in repeat in my head while I’m doing work on my car.
Lol lol
I didn’t know little Jacob from GTA 4 became a mechanic 😮🔥🔥
This comment is reality
You throw ThT damn mint in there, oh boy I tell you lol
Great video! However I was always told not to touch electronic throttle body butterfly valves. As they can become “out of sync” I guess you could say. I prefer to take it off and clean both sides without moving the valve if possible
Came to the comments to see if anyone was goanna say anything 😂😭, supposed to have someone press the gas pedal down car off, then you can mess with it
@@Cashperformance that’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard I’ve replaced and worked on countless throttle bodies that’s not true all electronic throttle bodies have a relearn procedure you do with a legit scanner
you can do a idle relearn after if necessary
And you can strip teeth off of gears too..
Right! Or turn the key to the on position and have someone hold the throttle pedal down
I work as a technician. I will say we dont usually touch the throttle body during fuel service. But ours is aimed at the direct injection (and port injection) engines to clean out the carbon buildup on those injection points.
The trottle gets caked up with carbon as well tho....
Nice......unless you use the right TB Cleaner, you just stripped away the Teflon coating and increased the Base Idle to 2500 rpm.
No guys, DON'T touch the moving part.
I was gonna say the same thing lmao
It'll be fine
@@CartoonWeasel it fucks things up you have to get someone to push the gas to open it don't be stupid
Why dont you touch the moving part?
Yea some of those butterflys get recharged and activate on its own without power to the car. Rarely happens but happens
You should remove the throttle body from the air intake manifold before doing the cleaning process, otherwise you have the chance of throw dust inside the cilinders and maybe lock the engine.
I was waiting to see if anyone else would point that out. He should also not push on the flap with his finger, he should use the lever that the throttle body is connected to to open it unless it's electric
Dust inside the cylinders and lock the engine 😂😂 dust
Good job dude. I have a series of rifle bore brushes (nylon) and a cordless drill. works for me
Nice nice thx
Copper works 10x better just sayin.
@@Suspect002 I have brass and nylon brushes....nevr heard of copper brushes. Can you elaborate? thanks
@@Suspect002 copper will still scratch, and copper hardens when you flex it, so the brush gets harder as you use it and then the bristles all snap from becoming brittle. These scratches make it really easy for carbon to build up again, if cleaning a body on the car, your brushes bristles may fall down the intake, they're so tiny you won't see it happen. Only ever use a throttle body cleaner soaked cloth and if it's really dirty, remove the throttle body brush all over with solvent and totally wash it out, remember to lubricate the pivot points before you reinstall. So throttle won't become sticky.
@@georgecroney6168 You clearly have no idea how materials work. It is physically impossible for work hardened copper to scratch hardened steel barrels due to their respevtice hardness. The compression that a brush is put under when going theough a barrel is nowhere near enough to even work harden it. You are blatantly lying to people.
A throttle service is one of the main things that a lot of DIY mechanics and even pros forget about.
It is not recommended to force open the throttle valve, especially if it is an electric throttle body. You can permanently break it :)
💯
This is what I was thinking. At least that’s what I’ve been told by an ASE mechanic before.
So how do we clean it than?? That’s my question since my car has one.
@@unitedwestanddividedwefall3521 as much as you can without forcing the valve, the fact is that most of the cars have an electric throttle body, forcing an electric valve can cause permanent damage or you can completely brake it. Best case scenario the valve is not permanently damaged and the car ecu can readjust it when you start the car next time
@@unitedwestanddividedwefall3521you can have someone put the key to the on position and press the gas pedal. If electronic it will open the butterfly allowing you to spray and clean in between those pauses
Thats a 899$ job right there
That’s a 10$ job
- he should uninstall the throttle body first
- he open the throttle so aggressively that could cause damage to the springs
- i assume he did not program the car after cleaning the throttle body, which most cars need to
Since I begun working in the Caribbean as a mechanic, these videos just hit differently 👌🏼😂
Lol
“Hey man, I need my throtta budday to look BRRRRLUND new, get it all SHWHAYNEE BBOI!”😂
Great job but I recommend you removing it to clean the interior side as well, also prevents spraying/pushing cleaners and dirt into the manifold
Do you know how to get the flap open while its still attached to car?
@@BrandonSmith-rb1bf turn your car on but not on yk? like the windows works but the engine isnt on. Then you want to step on the accelerate and the flap will open
@@shoesuke1613 ohhhhhhhh! I was turning the car all the way on. Thank you kindly, my friend 🙏
Going above and beyond has gotten me in trouble more times than it hasn't 😂 (creating new problems and more work for myself, i.e. now this thing has a fast idle).. and at best it went unnoticed and unappreciated. I just do my job these days lol. Nice shots though brother! 💯
😂😂😂truee
Carb cleaner works fine for me lol
Question: How many customers have come back for a sticky throttle?
Typically throttle blades are coated in a special coating (i forget the name of it), and it’s easily cleaned off with any abrasives or harsh cleaners. Lessons learned when cleaning your own TB housings 😅
Have you legit had any issues after cleaning tb’s lol ? I literally cleaned my shitty 04 clio’s throttle body like this, disconnected and connected the battery after a while, re-learned itself and had 0 issue’s, like ever ahahaha
I like your accent sir. Also your vid🙂. Finally RUclips made a great recommendation.
Thank you for taking the time to say hi
Take the throttle body out, it's usually 4 bolts, cleaning is easier that way, about the gasket, they are usually reusable because the heat is away from them. Keep up the good work
you don't want to remove all throttle body's just regularly,some lexus and honda throw codes and you have to replace the battery and throttle position sensors
Beautiful work and diligence, makes me dream of having my little garage and projects once I'm making a stable enough living and have my own place to cover in motor oil. Absolutely inspiring, thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You can do it!
That particular amsoil product is made to go into the intake and clean further in kind of like seafoam but better. Run your engine spray amsoil engine foam it'll clean before your eyes no tooth brush needed.
I usually unplug the injectors hold the butterfly open have someone start it and empty a can of brake cleaner in it
Johnny gonna be so SO mad when he sees what you done with his toothbrush
Lol Johnny… Its Bubba lol hahahahaha
Thought i liked this guy from his creativity.. Then i opened the vid and heard that magical accent!
lol hahahaha
This guy deserves more subs
Appreciate you
On certain cars, like bmw, opening the throttle body by hand can cause it to become mis calibrated amd throw codes
Yup, but if you pull of the positive before you start, once done hook the battery back and give it a few minutes to reset . If a code pops up, spend 100.00 or a Scanner and your still ahead ..
NOTE: DO NOT DO THIS IF YOUR CAR HAS AN ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY. OR PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR TO HAVE THE THROTTLE OPENNED UP.
Why
@@donamanbemis1181 because the electrical throttle open up using a motor and gears which also send positioning data to the ECU therefore if you force the throttle you will damage the gears and it won't work. But if you put the ignition and ask someone else to press the accelerator for you the ECU will open the throttle for you.....
that minty fresh line ! legend!
The mint sold me. Subscribed. Well done. 😎🏴☠️
lol
Big ups, big ups!
Respect thanks
Not the toothbrush I’ve done this before on my own car of course 😂😂😂
Jamaican accents are always fun to listen to
Lol
Lol love this energy MINTY FRESH MAN
Lol
There are special coatings on some throttle body’s that you don’t want to scratch off
Facts
@@RastamanBuilds facts? I don't trust you brother
@@DaywordRacing understood. Have you subscribed yet. Go now
Can you explain a little more on some how’s and why’s ?
Not sure the coatings doing much when covered in unburnt emissions such as oil and fuel coming through the pcv system or on diesels I believe it’s called an EGR system
i did that to my corvette once & had to replace the entire throttle body because the inside electronics got wet
same thing whit my Colorado he went into limp mode..
it’s also not recommended to manually open a electronic throttle body with your fingers as done in the video
This guy's a fool, can't stop laughing, insta subbed
that looks like a brand new throttle body damn
Just be careful that brush tip doesn’t fall into the intake.
Love that content. Only issue is if it’s a newer infinity or cadi suddenly there’s a code for throttle pedal/ body correlation response performance. Now older vehicles with cable pull no way that work will do anything but make it beautiful.
Subscribed for the vibes.
Respect due. Thanks
I’ve heard that opening an electric throttle body can dis program the car
It de-programs the car’s idle rpm
@@slouchyz2207 so the throttle body would have to be reprogrammed
😂 with the mint bro 🫡
Lol
It means the car is getting fresh air. It was an artistic choice, I’m vibing it tbh
Never move an electronic throttle body flap manually to clean around it, that will mess up the way the car idles and accelerates, it is ok with a mechanical cable throttle but not electronic ones…
Big deal... still do it anyway 😆
The breath man that was funny 😂
Lol
Man's opening it by hand and letting it just slam shut. Gonna idle at 4K RPM fml lol
I realize alot these mechanics on here are about it looks shiny as opposed to knowing not to manually force open the butter fly and etc..
@@wolfscreek6106 Some brands advertise that you can clean them like this, but they usually still say to close it slowly and gently. In other words, letting it spring shut is still "slamming shut"
it'll be fine, its okay to manually push
...I see a throttle body relearn in somebody's future. I hope your scan tool's advanced enough
I hope so I rented it from autozone
@@RastamanBuilds ahahahaha this guy hillarious
If you unplug the battery before you spray and clean what would be the issue. It's probably only an issue to begin. With if it's electronically controlled vs cable?
@@melancholypuppy3595 some newer vehicles, like Hyundai will require a total relearn if you disconnect the battery as it may affect accessories, electronic parking brake and charging
Cable driven does not need to be relearned
I understand wanting it clean, so why not just remove it because then you can clean the whole thing. scrubbing the front is fine and all but the other side of the butterfly is still dirty all the way to the intake
This man is a solid mechanic, but why does my car smell like someone had a party in there after servicing? 😂
Is that an electric throttle body? If so it looks like he killed it if so
How??? Did he wrongly clean it? Please explain
@J Thanks Brother For Good Easy Explanation Information. Indeed Very Helpful Information. When We Switch On Ignition Without Starting Car And Press Pedal This Butterfly Will Move? But We Should Never Move It With Hand As This Guy Did.
@J Thanks Brother
If it is an electronic throttle body unplugging the harness makes it safe to move. Once done plug it back up with the butterfly in the closed position. All will be fine. At least with Ford throttle bodies. Assuming the same can be said with other manufacturers.
Guys do not tuch your throttle body that may let your rpm to go up or down so you have to program your ecu again
Ummmmm..no
My man just brutally force a throttle body valve to be open instead of pressing the gas pedal
Pressing the gas don’t work on all cars
@@atmphil1 ahh i see
This dude gonna start the tide pod challenge of cars with mints in the intake (love the video, thorough intake cleaning)
Lol hahahaha
@@RastamanBuilds you think I'm joking but people are actually putting vegetable oil in their cars after watching RUclipsrs do it and then say "she's running fine" (sure maybe for a few minutes it's fine) but then later it turns into a jelloey slimey goop that seizes the engine lol. But I say let darwinism take it's course
Fun fact if you open the throttle body like that you risk breaking it👍. Also what are you spraying? 10/10 do not recommend
Don't ever do that like he did.
You can open the throttle body safely if you are able to do a relearn.
@@RGV2300 Maybe that's ok for someone who knows..How about an owner who doesn't know anything about automotives?
What did you clean it with?
Thanks for the simple tool. Saves me an easy 10 min or more and a cleaner throttle body..
You're welcome!
In our shop, we check if it's a drive by cable or electric throttle body. If its electric we stress that Nobody forceful opens a throttle by hand.🙅♂️‼
An electric throttle body being "forced open" causes no damage. It's never been Proven or shown to cause damage at all. Been doing it for years with 0 issues at our dealership. ^ this is a myth but, you do you.
@@N54.S6 it will definitely cause issues on most fly by wire throttle bodies, since they're not spring returned like a cable driven TB.
@@StarHunter28nearly all electronic throttle bodies will return back to it's original position "closed". And I think you mean "drive by cable and drive by wire". Drive by wire is electric, drive by cable being tied to throttle. You can without issue, push down the plate completely fine with no issues. Worst thing that could happen is you might have to just teach in the throttle once more which takes 2 mins and most cars can do it with a sequence of some sort such as "Holding the gas pedal for 10 seconds with ignition on". My BMW is by wire, plated is tensioned down and stuck closed. Actuators will overcome this, thus, opening throttle. ^
In our car world, mistakes can get expensive and very fast. If someone says it may cause damage. I'll do my best to avoid issues 🤷♂️
@@junieserrano7098 Do as you please 👍
I don't have an electric toothbrush because I'm no professional, but I used my regular toothbrush to clean my throttle body.
That works too
Only a real mechanic will then proceed to brush his teeth with that same toothbrush.🙂
Rinse it off with lacquer thinner we good!
Yea Mon keep it Minty Fresh 😂😂😂
The plate itself doesn't matter much if that has build up, its actually the edges that will make it run poorly, because at idle it's barely open and that is when that build up will affect the performance.
True, I mean even without the knowledge, how do they rhink
That little bit of carbon on the throttle blade is going to have an effect on performance. Needs to be carbon buildup that inhibits the blade from moving properly or is so much that it drastically changes airflow, which the latter is never really going to happen. Problems come from sticking.
Be careful doing this on your own, cos manually changing the position of the butterfly flap can put the throttle body out of wack, requiring a recalibration
I almost threw out a old ebrush, thanks for this
😂 repurpose
Much respect Mon!
Now excuse me while I light my spliff!
and get liquid in my air intake 👍
Lots of people have oil just chilling in the intake, so what's your argument?
@@bishop5166 me with a 300k mile ranger that just pukes oil but keeps going. 😂 there’s definitely gonna some oil residue in the intake.
This is why i dont run my pcv hose back into the intake pipe. The more worn the piston rings are, the worse this problem gets.
Interesting. Tell me more
@JM i just run tappet cover filters and have the vacuume ports capped off. My old hilux that i owned years ago ran a pipe from the pcv into a 2.25 litre coke bottle that had vent holes in it, the motor was pretty much lunched and would fill the bottle with oil within 3 weeks. So i saved 2 odd litres of oil going through the intake turbo every couple of weeks. Just poured the oil back into the engine when the bottle started getting full. I eventually got sick of it happening, so ended up rebuilding the engine
went from doo-doo breath to minty fresh😊
I love this dude!!
I would take my cars to you. I’m a mechanic. That’s saying a lot. Love the toothbrush ideal
no 🤣 your just done with cars ✋👍🤣
Could only imagine if someone saw this and actually thought it a good idea to leave a mint in there
never compromise, do the repair right your reputation depends on it. People's safety depends on it & my signature is on the repair ticket.
Nice job!
I subscribed the moment you pulled out that toothbrush. I loved it because I do wash throttle bodies with toothbrushes!
Lok thx
I love this energy
Love thanks
"Put mints in your engine"
Customer states there's a rattling noise after his throttle was serviced
Shoot. I thought I was the only one using an electric toothbrush for cleaning throttle bodies. Respect !
Make sure you reset idle air in the ecu.
Yes
Last time I opened the throttle like that ended up needing a new one
Not putting a rag under the throttle body to catch the dripping cleaner fluid really triggered my ocd. Lol.
Lmao this is exactly why I go through boxes of brake cleaner. Coworkers say who cares just leave it as is, but I like to make things shiny again
Lol facts
idles up n down and ruff till it gets dirty again.. then its back to a nice smooth idle
LOL !!!!! This guy is genius!
I feel like there is at least 1 person that will leave a breath mint
Lol you think so lol naaaaaa lol I hope not
Minty fresh!!😂😂😂
Wow I never thought about polishing parts with an electric toothbrush but I just might try that at work.
The engine flooded in filth
Thats what happened to my electric tooth brush....
Lol its me who have it
so thats where my new tooth brush went
Electric instead of a standard tooth brush is definately above and beyond. Lol
Looks great 👍🏼
U never pop it open like that when it's drive by wire 😆..
why? my car is drive by wire and I’ve done that about 4 times now without issue
@@NazBRE some cars go haywire when u open it up just like that it has a mechanism and to prevent from reseting it or damaging the gears in it I always have someone put key to acc and then step on the accelerator and clean it up or remove it and clean it gently ..but to each there own lol whatever works
What did I just stumble upon?
I seen forums say to be careful with electronic throttle bodies. They don’t give specifics. So how does one safely clean a electronic TB?? Thanks
