What are the hazards of throttle cleaning? When can it be cleaned?

If there is too much sludge in the throttle, it may cause poor engine acceleration and increase fuel consumption. As long as it is cleaned up, the problem can be solved.

Throttle four-stroke gasoline engines are generally like this. Throttle is one of the most important components in EFI automobile engine system. Its upper part is the air cleaner grille, and the lower part is the engine body, which is the throat of the automobile engine. Whether the acceleration of a car is flexible or not has a lot to do with the dirt of the throttle. Cleaning the throttle can reduce fuel consumption and make the engine flexible and powerful.

How long the throttle will be dirty depends on the quality of the air filter, the brand and quality of the engine oil, the condition of the driving section, the temperature, the working temperature of the engine, driving habits and so on. Even for individuals, it is impossible to determine the time to clean the throttle with a fixed number of kilometers. The interval between cleaning the throttle for the first time in a new car is the longest. Later, due to the continuous condensation of oil and gas in the crankcase ventilation pipe and intake port, the cleaning frequency will increase, and different weather conditions will also affect the dirty speed of the throttle.

Extended data:

Throttle is a valve installed on the intake pipe of internal combustion engine to control the amount of air entering the engine.

Throttle can be divided into electronic type and cable type. Mechanical throttle control uses the accelerator pedal to pull the steel cable to control the throttle opening; The electronic throttle is determined by the opening of the electronic accelerator pedal stepped by the driver and the signals of other sensors on the vehicle, and then the electronic throttle is calculated by ECU, so that the engine can work at the best opening.

The mechanical throttle will respond better than the electronic control, because the electronic control will be started by sending a signal from the computer. However, due to the recent development of information transmission, the response of electronic throttle can be comparable to that of mechanical throttle.
