I DO NOT miss those rusted bolts! That's great to have a nice relationship with your customers. It looks like you're getting a lot more customers, that's great! Perfect how you go through each detail on letting everyone know how to clean the throttle body
Those rustic bolts are a pain.
Thx bro, I'm 15 and just bought a 2004 Honda Civic that won't go past 60 mph. I watched this vid and then cleaned the throttle and the mass airflow sensor. After that I changed the fuel filter, and the car ran like new. My dad took it on the freeway and I asked him if it had any problems after hitting 60 mph and he was like "No, why?". I was like "YES" imma sell this car and make a profit thx bro I appreciate it!
Thank you. Great job!
How was your experience doing your fuel filter? I need to tackle mine in my ‘04 but it seems like a major project seeing as the fuel pump is built into the gas tank under the back seat….
Been searching everywhere to find a schematic on how that rubber grommet (between the air intake bottom casing and the throttle body) was situated when I started taking things apart to clean throttle body and some sensors. Was very glad to see its reassembly was a part of your video as it helped me FINALLY get it reinstalled correctly, thank you!
You are welcome. Thank you for watching
Nice tip at the end about the car may not start at first. Nice job Hector🙂
Thank you. Rose just told me "Kelly's is in the computer " Lol
LOL! Hi Rose🙂🌹
Just open the air filter case and there is throttle
Steve Kim for real, this video is so wrong
Exactly, unless you're pulling the throttle body for a real cleaning, just pull the air filter. He must charge by the hour
@@andrewm.4168 lol
@@ajayp3835Not really wrong. When you take off the air box, you might as well clean it alone with the throttle body, idle air control valve (IACV), and replace the air filter.
Dude. Thank you. This helped me figure out how the hell to get to my throttle body.
Thank you for watching. I'm glad I was able to help
I know how to do this but thanks for refreshing my memory brother ✝️ 🙏 ❤️ 💙 💜
You're welcome👍
This will be my next job on my civic soon, great job
Thank you🔧
Very helpful. My 02 si has given me problems but I’m getting there
Thank you. You can do it
Oh good, I’m not the only one who had issues getting the housing back on the throttle body. I wasn’t sure what I was doing wrong. My gasket had to be done the same way. Great video!
Glad I could help!
I just did this to my 93 Caddy it was idling rough and hesitating a bit, cleaned that throttle plate and IAC motor out, she runs smooth as silk now. The blue Caddy has same issue but is TBI with DFI so it will be harder to get around injectors to clean the throttle plates. Good video this is something people overlook a lot. People use injector cleaner in the fuel tank which will help clean a TBI (throttle body) because injectors spray on things inside the including the throttle plates ..PFI doesn't so the plates gum up and cause issues.
When she gets the air filter. I'm going to clean the mass flow sensor
That's a good idea I will watch that, I haven't done that as of yet.
She had a friend living in the air box
Good job hecter, you making me want to start filming my diy's...
You should. You can help a lot of people
Good Job Hector, man the air filter is filthy, Rose always does a GREAT job with the camera.
Rose is the "A-TEAM"
714 SUBSCRIBERS!!!! Almost at the 1000 mark!
We almost there. You and Silvia have been a part of it
Oh my lordy, I think you are right. Something is living in there. lol
What ever it is. Is going to be upset because we cleaned there house. Lol
Going to clean mines today... My bolts on my 03 LX, the same rust haha
Let me know how it goes🛠
Thanks man, helped me !
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Could you please do more videos on honda civics with highhhhh mileage ?
I see what can do. 👊
I appreciate you man! Thank you for this video
You are welcome👍🔧
@@NoneMechanic101 one issue that I notice was how the gas peddle feel stiff
@@chrisjoshua5463 The gas pedal shouldn't feel stiff
@@NoneMechanic101 do you think it have to do with the throttle cable ?
I'm reading that you shouldn't clean your throttle body unless it's sticking. That the throttle body will always get dirty again because of a worn engine, and it can cause more harm than good. As the engine wears, cylinder wall clearances get larger, piston rings don't seal as well, and there is more blow-by during engine operation. Blow-by is the combustion gases that leak past the piston rings; it’s what is mainly responsible for the buildup of gunk in your intake. The more worn your engine, the more blow-by you have. The more blow-by you have, the more gunk buildup in the intake and throttle body assembly.
That being said, it probably wouldn't be a bad to clean out the intake box. No telling what's in there. And I think I'll clean my throttle body anyway. To say not to clean it because it'll keep getting dirty is like saying you shouldn't sweep your floor because you'll just track more dirt onto it. Kind of a silly thought-process.

You are absolutely right. It is a great idea to clean the intake box. Thank you.
Thank u big dawg
Thank you my friend for watching.
Nice video very helpful, please I drive a 2004 Honda Civic and when I drive for about 20 to 30mins my car temperature gauge goes up . When I’m on speed above 80km/h the temperature gauge goes way to the top and when I’m on static the temperature gauge comes to normal I’ve checked for possible leaks but can’t find any and every morning I have to fill up the coolant again
It can be different things. It can be a clogged radiator or a stuck thermostat.
Headgasket
I would took out the whole throttle and cleaned it super nice both ends and seen other stuff to clean.then put it back together👍🏼
Great point! Thank you
@@NoneMechanic101 doin that keeps the car running good and away from that check engine light😬😁🤣
@@tonistarks2874 Me and the engine light don't get alone🔧
Woa! 200,000 miles. Mine it's about 24,000 miles it's a 2002 EX Honda Civic. I just realized that Honda after they installed the new AC the front hose as a missing clip not there on the hose it's loosing now I hate Honda they rush there workers for big $$$$ part are missing after a job done on the car they want me to buy a new car they can wait a long time they want to buy my car they go the hell I don't do business with crook honest mechanic hard to find these day they all got greedy, and it's getting worst. If I can do part of job on the car I do it like oil filter oil change, coolant change even I learned how to flush the brake fluid rotate tires .
One of the reasons why I learned and still learning how to work on car is because of the dishonesty of a lot of mechanics.
i just tried this worked as 95% said in video. however, i dont know how much time i needed to let it cool and dry after spraying.... and it does sputter at startup but it will kick eventually. will this happen every time? or will it go back to "normal startup without hesitation"...?
I should go the way it was
Hi Hector can I use a ECOM Carburadores cleaner? thank you
HOLA Y PORQUE NO QUITASTE. LA PIEZA DEL CUERPO DE ACELERADOR Y LA HUBIERAS LIMPIADO AFUERA TALBES HUBIERA QUEDADO MAS LIMPIA BUENO ES MI OPINION NO SOY MECÁNICO SALUDOS DESE GA👍
Es verda llo biera quitado la pieza del cuerpo de el acelerado. Buera salido mas limbio. Gracias👍👊
What's that pipe attached wit air filter box going to engine head called
What's up my Radator is smocking the car was being setting for two years I got heat clean filters put in antifreeze do I need to replace the Radator? Next or what..thanks.
What I would do is remove the old antifreeze. If that doesn’t work I would look for leak somewhere
I don't think her problem was the throttle body at all after seeing the engine air filter tbh
Thanks
Scandalous… he knew it was the filter being clogged not the TB
Hi i got this car it has idle problem revs up an down. Any idea what i can do ?
The first thing I would do is clean the throttle. To see if that takes care the problem. Do it goes up and down from 1 rpm?
@@NoneMechanic101 hi thank u very much for a very fast reply. I have thoroyghly cleaned the throttle body. I brought it off a realtive, who had it parked up for afew years. If u watsaap me on 07716374410 ill send u a video of it. It does have a very hard few hoses. Especially 1 that connects the the left side if the throtte body. I dodnt check the rev counter yet.
Can you send it to my email. Nonemechanic101@yahoo.com
@@jackjonson2696 what was the problem ? Having same problem with sons ,keeps idling up and down
@@jackjonson2696 what was the problem? Having same problem with sons car
Do u have to disconnect the negative battery terminal
I always disconnect the negative terminal. In some Honda's if you disconnect the terminal you probably going to have to reset the radio
What’s happens when the throttle keeps the gas accelerated?
I would check to see if the the gas pedal isn't stuck down. Also I would clean the throttle
i have a 2004 honda civic t start but when im i a red ligth stop the car start shaking ans t turn off
I would check the headgasket
Why do you have to disconnect the negative battery cable?
I myself disconnect the battery
I disconnect the battery because it can be a possibility for the throttle to engage. Also to prevent a shortage
You should remove the tb to clean it, don't get extra junk is inside.
Thank you
Will this clear a P0171 code?
No sure
Where would the throttle body sensor be??
I'm not sure. Sorry about that🔧
It would hve been nice to show changing out that dirty air cleaner, too ...
👍
what will happen if you forgot to disconnect the negative battery?
The Negative battery cable is ground. It keeps you from getting shock.
Is it ok to open the throttle Like that?
The best way is doing what the owners manual says. You have to be careful when cleaning the Throttle.
by cleaning throttle body.
the acceleration of a car increases ?
The rpm should be around 1 rpm
👌
Thank you
Can a dirty throttle body cause a misfire ?
I don't believe that it does but if you leave the throttle dirty it can cause other problems.
Misfire could be a bad coil , plug a scan tool and check it out for codes.
You're a little late telling people to disconnect the battery lol
Sorry about that
A mouse ate my filter on this car completely and stuff got sucked into the intake. It's at the mechanics right now and they claim they are cleaning out the intake. How screwed am I? Had to get it towed there because whenever I started the car, it would keep revving higher and wouldn't shift out of park.
The car is also 23 years old in a Northern state. I have a bad feeling this might be it with all the rust and rotting rubber.
Mechanics have a way of cleaning this up. I think the car is going to be ok
