Care:
Throttle body assemblies are generally maintenance-free. Avoid spraying cleaning agents directly into the throttle bore, as this can damage internal components. If cleaning is absolutely necessary, use a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with a specialized throttle body cleaner, ensuring no fluid enters the electronic components. Do not attempt to manually force the throttle plate open beyond its normal range of movement.
