Tesla Model Y Throttle body clean
When does my Tesla Model Y need a throttle body clean?
The throttle body can be found in Tesla Model Y engine bays, it’s part of the air intake system on fuel-injected models. Air from the outside of the Tesla Model Y is directed via tubes and flows through the air filter, into the throttle body, where it is then drawn into the intake manifold.
The air is then mixed with fuel and ignited, creating the combustion required to power a Tesla Model Y.
If a Tesla Model Y’s throttle body is dirty you may notice these signs that it’s time to have it cleaned:
- Engine stall
- Rough idle
- Hesitation on acceleration
- Overall poor performance
To clean a Tesla Model Y’s throttle body involves spraying a designated throttle body cleaner into the throttle body and brush it clean. Ideally, you want a professional mechanic to carry out a throttle body clean.
An automotive service centre or mobile mechanic will be able to do a Tesla Model Y throttle body clean.
