SERVICE PROCEDURES
CLEANING COKED THROTTLE BODIES
Coked throttle bodies will cause low idle speed and
poor idle quality. Also, if the vehicle has low idle and
the idle air control motor operates normally, clean
the throttle body before checking throttle body mini-
mum air flow. Refer to the General Diagnosis Section
of this group for the Throttle Body Minimum Air
Flow procedure.
(1) Remove the throttle body from engine.
WARNING: CLEAN THROTTLE BODY IN A WELL
VENTILATED AREA. WEAR RUBBER OR BUTYL
GLOVES, DO NOT LET MOPAR PARTS CLEANER
COME IN CONTACT WITH EYES OR SKIN. AVOID
INGESTING THE CLEANER. WASH THOROUGHLY
AFTER USING CLEANER.
(2) While holding the throttle open, spray the
entire throttle body bore and the manifold side of the
throttle plate with Mopar Parts Cleaner. Only use
Mopar Parts Cleaner to clean the throttle body.
(3) Using a soft scuff pad, clean the top and bot-
tom of throttle body bore and the edges and manifold
side of the throttle blade. The edges of the throttle
blade and portions of the throttle bore that are
closest to the throttle blade when it is closed,
must be free of deposits.
(4) Use compressed air to dry the throttle bodies.
(5) Inspect throttle body for foreign material.
(6) Install throttle body on manifold.
