    Throttle body cleaning 850 1996

    I was thinking of doing that to the old 240. I have read the 700 FAQ and I think(dont bet the farm on this) the the basic is the same for all throttle bodies. Good Luck

    Throttle body cleaning

    The other post is a good way of doing it. I did mine but I took the throttle body out entriely. Here's how.

    1. Take of the plastic cover of the throttle body.
    2. Disconnect the air pipe with a flathead screwdriver.
    3. Disconnect the sensor.
    4. There are three bolts that connect the trottle body. They can be removed easily.
    5. One end of the throttle body rod is round and is covered by rubbber (or not). Anyway, using a fltahead screwdriver, get as close to the round part, put the screwdriver underneath the rod and pop it up. It should not take too much force to do this.
    6. After you have the throttle body off, you can use a throttle body cleaner (make sure the cleaner says it is safe for throttle body and fuel injectors. To clean the brass butterfly plate, use a toothbrush.
    7. While you are here, you should replace the liner (a new one from Vovlo costs $3-5.)
    8. To put it all back together, follow the directions backwards.

    Throttle body cleaning

    it is very straightforward.
    just take off the intake hose attached to the throttle body. spray it with an 02 friendly carb cleaner, wipe it clean, reattach the intake hose and youre done. be sure to do the end hinges too and see that it is clean enough that it opens and closes smootely.
    should take you only a few minutes.
    regards
