- This is a procedure on how to clean the throttle body on a 2006 Acura TSX. The Same procedure should apply to 2004-2008 TSX and 2003-2007 Honda Accords. Additionally most Honda K-series engine should be very similar to this procedure.

Seven years later and this video is still helping! Thank you for this and all the comments. I did exactly what video said safe from unplugging sensor to avoid the code.
You disconnected the IAT sensor wire harness and turned on the ignition when cleaning the throttle body, that's why you got that code..
Interesting! I did not know that.
Informative video. Thx
do you have a video of taking off the throttle body and clean it? And also removing the air idle control valve and clean that too?
Most scanners require the engine to be off and the key to be in the on position to clear a code.
I need help. when i cleaned my throttle body, i made a mistake opening the butterfly by hand. Now my idle drops suddenly and back up to where it is when braking.
How can i readjust or relearn it?
my speed odometer on my 04 tsx does not work. do you know how to change that sensor?
Nice video same thing happened to me my engine light turned on but i drove it around and it went away no biggie
I'm trying to get the IAC valve to clean it out on a 05 TSX (i'm having the jumpy idle problem). Is there a way you can show how to get that out?
I actually think that part of the throttle body on this model...though I could be wrong?
Do you remember what kind of codes you were getting on this? My daughter's car is getting Random misfires, and then misfires on the individual cylinders.
misfires can be from:
tight valves,
old plugs,
plugged injector
dead/lazy coil over plug
👍🏻
Do you use premium fuel and drive 1/2 hwy and 1/2 local to get 26.9 mpg? I get about 22.
my car is running lean an im struggling to get 20. I hope ill be able to get close to 27mpg.
I did same on my Acura mdx 2005 but didn't need to clean failure message on OBD as I didn't get any error on OBD.
wow a paper towel? oof.. never use a cloth that sheds for this type of work. they make specific cleaning towels for auto repair work.
You know if you just unplug the battery and let the power drain out for a good 20min. you can take everything off without a check engine light coming on when you reassemble
Works????
Would you have any idea why my mpgs on my 07 tsx are super low? Ive tried driving the car with very minimal hard acceleration but only still manage to get 20.3 mpgs and I also do drive both city and highway.
Here is my short list to help with a bad MPG:
(on V6 eng: loose TB TENSIONER causes lean misfires, reduced power)
Dirty old: tranny Honda ATF
cheap old: engine oil synthetic!
Tight brakes: slide-pins lube!
Over gapped old: sparkPlugs
Tired old dirty: primary O2-sensors
wheel alignment: old bushings!!
(AirCon ON: high power load!)

@@glasser2819 what o2 sensors u recommend for a tsx 2004?
@@greatjuankenobi217 the OEM upstream lambda/O2 sensors are made by "NTK" (the NGK branch that makes O2 sensors).
Stay the hell away from Bosch and no names.
Either buy dealer part or buy NTK ... runs perfect, easy job around 90kMi!!
🤘
@@glasser2819 thanks that’s the one I found online.
Well if you're gonna keep the Throttle Body on (which Honda doesn't recommend) this is the way to go- VERY CAREFULLY!!!
How do you get 26mpg??? I only get 17-19mpg :(
ZamnnnBro damn that's low dude. I usually get about 26. You might have a problem or something cuz that's exteremely low unless you're always in stop and go traffic
ZamnBro I get 21-23 city. 31 on their highway. I have a k&n air filter in their box.
i get 10.6! what the heck
26 mpg? Do you drive mostly on the highway?
That's a 70/30 mix mostly city. Highway I'll get around 30 mpg 75mph ishh. Roadtrip mileage can break 35mpg. I found that tires and above all cold vs warm temps make a BIG difference. MPG is the same now I have 145K miles
is this the same procedure for acura TLs 2004-2008?
Arjun Singh fr, I need to know I got a TL 05. I need to know whether this will work for my car
***** its the same procedure! and same for all hondas actually! my car when warm idles at 5500rpm. very smooth. Buy crc throttle body cleaner or Amsoil power foam. I also cleaned my intake hose with this. and change filter if necessary or vacuum any leaves or debris in air box.
Yes u can open with your hand doesnt matter it dbw
Do you think that I have to do a clean up on my throttle body?, i bought the car she it had 129k miles and now it has 134k miles, so I'm guessing they never clean it up
I appreciate the video. Why didnt you just unplug the battery dismantle everything take off throttle body and clean it properly. The car will relearn by just driving it.
its becuse u had the key in the on position with the air temp sensor unplugged. So the car thinks the sensor is broken or not responding.
if u leave the sensor pluged in while cleaning or while the key is on, u wont get the code
Did not know that! Thank you for sharing.
Hey man will the emissions light go off on its own?
It should
Five years later. lol. You prob. don't even have this car anymore.
Interesting, I use my hand to open the throttle plate and spray with cleaner and never get a CEL on my 04 TSX.
The engine code is hit and miss. Sometimes it comes sometimes it doesn't. I'm happy it came on here to show when you clear it, it's gone. About opening the TB with your hand, I don't want to mess with an electronic one as I have heard nightmares of it ruining the TB, but conversely some people have had worlds of luck with it.
I did the same and now are having idle issues and code P0507. Idle fluctuates. Any help is appreciated. TY
Should you be able to open and close it with your hands on a 2nd gen tsx?
No. It's an electronic throttle body and you should never open those by hand.
@@jacktran960 I cleaned it by hand and nothing happened. My question was more about whether or not they need to be opened by stepping on the gas pedal
@@HealthyCriticism You got lucky then. In most cases people brick their throttle bodies when they do that.
@@jacktran960 when you say brick you mean ruin it? I opened it by hand are having idle issues. It fluctuates from 900-2000. Any help is appreciated.
Symptoms that throttle body is dirty??
Rough idle. My idle is so low that it stalls when I stop.
The Engine Reader isn't made for that car
Do these car have Fill Filter? I’m tryna replace my filter in my TSX 05
I don't think it has your regular inline fuel filter but I've heard the filter is in the fuel pump which is inside the fuel tank.
waths the purpose of cleaning the throttle???
It's to prevent it from sticking....kind of an Preventative Maintenance. To be honest modern cars like this, it's not necessary, but it's so easy on this car so why not?
themo8370 ahh ok thanks good to know
when the "throttle plate" is too dirty the idle and driving performance becomes extra crappy
Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just spray a whole can of Amsoil Power Foam in there?
Your mileage is too low compare to mine. I have same year, make and model with over 250k miles and runs like a champ. All I did is to follow the maintenance on the manual book except I never clean the throttle body. I hope it can reach 1m mileage
who is going to believe you got to 250kMi just by:
changing oil and
buying gas
+ a little love at the dealer shop too
Just get skunk 2 throttle body
sketchy
U didnt clean nothibg u have to remove it to clean it the right way
