Vtim 3rd Gear March 14, 2008 Share March 14, 2008 Carb cleaner is good enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear March 14, 2008 Share March 14, 2008 after some months sure got soot one, it's due to the blow-by of the PCV system lah! That's the reason you need to clean the TB after sometime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adawang 1st Gear March 14, 2008 Share March 14, 2008 but i ever dismantle before, on previous car, no soot leh puzzled Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear March 14, 2008 Share March 14, 2008 depends where the blow-by is connected, some is between TB and air fliter box, some is inside the air filter box and very close to the air filter with another sponge to catch the oil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzy Neutral Newbie March 14, 2008 Author Share March 14, 2008 Read on some website that carb cleaner are to strong but majority of people in sg does use carb cleaner to clean TB.

Yeobh 4th Gear March 15, 2008 Share March 15, 2008 Yes some Carb cleaner solution will damage the hot wire and coating on the throttle bore.Try using electronic contact cleaner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear March 15, 2008 Share March 15, 2008 most of the engine nowadays have blow-by from the PCV, this normally will blow off oil fumes from the cam cover during high load (rpm) and will get coated onto the TB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Clutched March 15, 2008 Share March 15, 2008 yes ah kor, i use carb cleaner. works for my 323. after cleaning, the throttle is very responsive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear March 15, 2008 Share March 15, 2008 (edited) of course, all the soot and dirt remove, flow is better. It'll be good if you enlarge the bore and smooth it out just like what I've done my ride now still N.A. but have already done IHE liao, just added MSD CDI last week have you read my thread http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi...2268673#2268673 Edited March 15, 2008 by Vtim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
