Well, after reading Juggz thread a while back about Throttle body cleaner I decided to give it a go.

I gotta say the stuff does work. I used about half a can between two different times yesturday afternoon. I also cleaned my filter and man...there is a noticable change in engine performance.

Thanks for the heads up Juggz.

On a side note: this is not just a placebo effect. One way I can tell that things are cleaner and running better is by the behaviour changes of my a/f meter. In closed loop and on idle it now bounces smoothly and in perfect rythym...this was not the case before.

Hmmm, would a dirty TB cause idle problems upon start up??

HAPPY

potentially yes...but for $6.99 and about 3 minutes of your time...what does it hurt to try.

imported_v33k

The dealer use the similar stuff and they call it something like emission service.
And they charge something like $50 for it.

imported_JookSingKid

What brand? And can you get it at crappy tire?

Import Racer

Yes, I think it's called Motomaster Throttle Body Cleaner. Make sure that the extension is taped to the can cuz when I bought mine, a lot of the cans were missing that extension.

Jugglez

Now you are HappierB16.

Yeah make sure the can has that little extension (red straw). People like to steal that for some reason.

HAPPY

Well, yes and no.

TB is clean but on a side note I have to have my distributor rebuilt (dam crank angle sensor) and my fuel pump is being cranky (what, like 400k is too much? bah)...doh!

Jugglez

Rebuilt? How much does that cost??

imported_Tmak

I cleaned my TB a few weeks ago as well.
only took a few minutes

HAPPY

'bout $150

sam

I cleaned mine too!!! and between that and dropping in STP extra strenght fuel injector cleaner.. I swear it's made a diff.. hehe
:P

Jugglez

$150 is decent considering a new one from Honda is like $20,000

sam

umm Duy i think he meant the distr rebuild costs $150, not the whole engine!

Jugglez

I know what he meant. And I wasn't reffering to the engine.

sam

oh, okies... in which case, ya lost me! but that's

SiR-Racer

so do you just spray this stuff in or what?

WNT_2_Go_Fast

WOW YOU GUyS ARE FUNNY.

FUNNY LOOKING>

HAHAHHAHAHA

Gonna head to Crappy Tire Tomorrow to grab some of this stuff.

Hope it works

Lates RICH

HAPPY

I don't know how yet...but you are gonna screw it up.

sam

hehe.. yea, careful richy! it's easy, but still tricky on 5th gen's since the TB is sideways.. on 6th gens it's a piece of cake, open air filter cover, remove air filter and VOILA, TB is staring at u and is not sideways! took me 5 mins to do this! just member to drive the car as soooon as u finish sprayin it!
