Anyone have their throttle body cleaned? What did you gain from this?

My gas pedal has been sticking and I am thinking this is probably the cause.

Opinions?

 

i cleaned my bro's throttle body before smog check. lots of dirty carbon stuff came out. didn't feel a difference or what not, but just seeing that black gunk come out felt good.

 

Try seafoam from Napa auto parts store.. Very good stuff!!

 

Anyone had this done and noticed a difference at all?

 

I did mine a couple of weeks ago, and my pedal no longer sticks when I step on it. I used the Penzoil(how ever you spell that) throtle body cleaner. I used the whole can like it said in the directions. I did blow a bunch of crap through my pipes which is good. Performance wise I really don't think there is a huge difference. Maybe with all that crap is comming out the back it might help a little. I didn't notice a huge difference.

 

Dumb question but did you clean it with it still on the car and wouldnt all that crap gum up the system? If that isnt a concern i would like to sprey something in there that could clean the TB and maybe in intake runners. Any ideas?

 

i used the stp throttle body cleaner.

 

You take off your intake. The throttle body cleaner has a straw like a bottle of WD-40 has and you spray into the throtle body while you move the throtle valve. It will clean all the shit right out of there with the can. It won't gum things up for you, it will lossen it up a lot of shit for you. After you use the can your supposed to let your car run for about 15 minutes. After that, take it out on the highway and go all out WOT. That will get all the crap out of your car.

 

yea, seafoam works wonders.

 

Damn got throttle body cleaned, gas pedal doesnt stick at all, feels awesome.
