Subaru Throttle body clean
Does My Subaru Need a Throttle Body Clean?
A Subaru’s throttle body controls how much air is drawn into the engine, working in tandem with the driver's accelerator demands. Inside the throttle body is a plate and valve system that opens and closes in response to acceleration and deceleration. This operation works manually or by sensors. A Subaru’s ECU determines how much air enters the engine and in turn how much fuel is required to create optimal air fuel mixture for best combustion.
A Subaru’s drivability is important and getting the right air flow is of vital importance for the engine. A throttle body clean should be considered a regular preventative maintenance task and carried out at regular intervals, before buildup becomes an issue.
To clean the throttle body on a Subaru might appear a simple task which involves spraying a designated throttle body cleaner into the throttle body, however it is always recommended that a professional carry out car maintenance to ensure it is done right without causing any damage to your Subaru.
