Man, I did this wrong before watching the vid and now my revs are crazy at start (over 1.5k), and has problems shifting. Do you have a video showing how to relearn turtle body pc?
@@cristiansastree Make sure the car is off, unplug the battery 🔋 and wait 30min. Then plug it back in. You might need a new MAF sensor if you messed with it, MAF sensors are delicate af.
Very simple, I have done this before on various vehicles. This throttle body was quite clean and didn't really need cleaning but if you do it early like this it will stay clean longer and run better. Good job!
Thank you Felix. I followed your directions exactly. They were perfect. My finger wasnt strong enough to unplug the throttle sensor wire but I used a flat head screwdrive and gently pressed it and it was easier. My 2018 cx5 has 18,000 miles on it. Although I have used CRC intake cleaner through the intake to clean it at 10,000 miles, this was the first time I removed the throttle body. There was a half inch ring of carbon on the backside. Now my car runs quieter and smoother.
Thank you for creating these valuable videos, they are really helpful. It would be greater if you could continue to add more videos on the CX-5 series, like how to flush coolant, replace spark plus, update windshield blades, etc. Thanks

Just cleaned it out myself. Thanks for the tutorial. I will say that I struggled removing the wire harness from the throttle body. In the end I left it connected and was careful not to spray around the intake or anywhere else nearby. Used lots of micro fiber towels. My 2016 Cx-5 has 160k miles and was never cleaned before.

Hi Felix. I've been following you and I can say that your videos are truly a big help to CX-5 owners like me. Just want to ask: Is there a tab that I need to push to remove the TB plug? Or do I need to just wiggle it until it detaches itself?
I followed this and your other videos and cleaned our CX-5 MAP and MAF sensors and throttle body. The back side of the throttle body was very different. We have seen a nice improvement in fuel economy. Is there any relearn for the electric throttle body to help idle? Thx!
Mr Dan do you know about a relearn process after doing this to 16 scion IA ?? it's actually a mazda 2 sedan in foreign countries it's a nice ride for a small car
It should relearn by itself just let the car idle for 5 to 10 mins after the service is done. Please note to disconnect negative battery first b4 doing this service.
do u need to do a throttle body reset? because from what i know from honda if you were to clean the TB u need to send it to the SC to have it relearn, if not it way experience jerking when u release the gas pedal. I've experienced it on my 14' accord
breather hose allows an internal combustion engine to vent crankcase pressure out of the engine. to use seafoam chemical you have to spray it through the Throttle body while engine is running not through the breather hose. Please confirm this direction of use should be on the bottle.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto great. Thanks for that. I thought maybe I could use that as a vacuum hose. I will spray directly into throttle body. I don't feel like taking off the intake manifold to clean the valves. Your video on that is great but I will do this for now.
Yes personally i would do at about 50k to 60k kms … i would recommend to do yours now at 80K kms. It should be dark brown by now… you will see the difference after the fluid replacement with new atf filter.
Best is to replace the worn out parts. If you can source 2nd hand for fraction of thr costs of new part in good cond at your local wreckers it would be even better.

Hi Aldo. It is recommended to replace tge TB gasket . But if your gasket is still in good working order you do not replace it. But if you have the luxury to replace might aswell replace it just for peace of mind. Any TB cleaner will do the trick. If you touch it accidently for a second it should be alright just as long as you do not force it open and closed. You will damage the inner parts of the TB assy. Thank you for your time.

I like your videos, It makes me to to lose fear on touching the car parts ja ja ja.
GDI intake valve cleaner is safe to use , just have to use it as per the manual . i believe you only need to loosen the intake hose and slide in the CRC intake nozzle and spray the cleaner every 2 to 3 second interval while someone inside the car hold the gas pedal to 3000rpm for a couple of minutes . But please do read the CRC cleaner manual prior doing this. I am uncertain about the engine noise you are referring to . it could be anything . what kind of engine oil are you using . and how often do you change your engine oil . Thank you
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Changed every 6 months, engine oil is liquy moly (molygen, green) 5w20 (0w20 on engine cap, so I think it is ok), the sound stard around month ago. Yesteday the macanic changed to 5w40 molyge, I live in central america.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Felix Dan It has 48000 miles, is not exactly a noise, but is the engine sound but luder at the start on the mornings, 15 sect and the sound back to is normal sound. But a month a go not sound to louder. I will try to clean the MAF and the air sensors, also the throttle body as on your videos, seems easy. Also wanto clean the valves with GDI intake valve cleaner but have some fear on ruin the engine. I I would appreciate it very much if you could make a video of how to do this.

@@FelixDanGarasiAuto But where is this tab? Is it in front of the front of the car? I'm afraid to break the plug, hence my question! Thank you in advance.
Hope you can answer, if theres a problem in throttle body the one you took off and cleaned it, my CX5 2015 shows that DPF malfunction, so, can be problem in throttle body?
Thank you for your answer, i got these malfunction lights on: SCBS, Electric parking brake, Tire pressure light and check engine light on. Next day DPF malfunction showed up, went to MAZDA service and they said they couldnt access DPF software in my CX5 , so they would charge me 900$ for new throttle body, dpf regen, temperature sensor in exhaust and removing lights on dashboard that malfunctioned. Sorry for this long question, you got any idea what it could be, the day I got these lights and stuff was heavy snow and mud.
yes it will be reset, i think you can also re activate the i stop feature after wards. Have a browse on google im sure you will find the how to’s. TB relearn is to let it idle for 10 minutes and then press n hold the gas pedal on 3000rpm for 3 to 5 mins then to 4000rpm to 3 to 5 mins.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Yes thanks! This is what I thought, that's why I love your channel, you really understand the Mazda brand. It goes to show you must have worked in a Mazda assembly plant in Japan.
After cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor I have 1500 rpm with warm start and I can´t get more than 2000 rpm with full throttle. I also have check enginge light and traction control warning in the dashbord on. It was running perfectly fine before. Did I broke the throttle body? I have disconnected the battery for 1 hour hopping to reset the TB, but no luck. Ifull open the TB while cleaning it. What can I do? Is there a way to quickly restart the ECU and do throttle relearning with Skyactive?
Please check all wiring make sure it is connected properly. By the way did u force it open the TB while cleaning ? If you have you might damage the electricity inside of the TB. to confirm this you will need a OBD tool scanner / MSDS scanner to see the fault. But then again do a recheck and disconnect the battery for 10 mins and restart the car.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks you very much for your reply, I red your comment and went directly to check the connection. The problem was a loose connection of the TB cable. Everything it's good now, smooth iddeling and throttle.
Felix Dan, thanks for the great post. I'd like to ask if you did performed any intake cleaning to your engine so far? If so, which product you have used?
Ian Cho i have not done intake chamber cleaning to the mazda cx 5 . But i have done some using CRC brand and nulon brand in the past and get some great results.
Hey ive been having an issue with my 2014 mazda 6 starting up fine, then during idle it goes up to 1500 rpm in park or stopped in drive. I cleaned the throttle body as it was very dirty, now the issue is amplified slightly with idling at a higher rpm, is there a way to reset the throttle, so it knows what to idle at? If so, how do we reset it?
Have you done the relearn process or reset ecu by disconnecting the battery for 10 mins. Then Let the car idle for 5 mins , hold the rev to 2000rpm for 3 - 5 mins , hold the rev to 3000rpm for 3 - 5 mins . Then let the car idle for 5 mins. Shut off the car and restart it after a 5 mins. Then drive as per normal.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto yeah I reset it with your method, problem came back within 10 minutes of me starting it back up and driving it. I also changed the PCV Valve and MAF sensor I have the same issue.
If the car operates normally once u assembled it. Do not worry about it. Just dont moved it with force often as you may broken some internal parts within the Throttle body.
Hi, may I know the reason to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery? If only I want to change the intake tube to an aftermarket one, do I need to disconnect the negative battery terminal?
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Great, thank you! One last thing, when I install a strut tower bar on my mazda 3 bm, is it fine to not torque the top strut bolt down to specs as I have no torque wrench with me.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks for your kind attention on my request. Please help me to my below question additionally. I bought a 2016 mazda cx 5 diesel 2.2 150, 135.000 km and the mazda as a general inspection, made a clean up of the throttle body. The mazda authorised service told me after the cleaning that the intake manifold, appeared very dirty from carbon. They told me that the intake manifold should disassembly and should be cleaned with Ultrasound. The cost is 500 Euro and I don't know if its true or false damage. As I did a research in the Internet, I found nothing about. Please let me know if you know something to help me on this matter. Thank you anyway you are very kind.
@@scriptamanent6235 yes you will require service the intake valves cleaning (walnut blasting) and needs to remove the manifold to get to the intake valves. Maybe check around as 500 euro is a little too much....
Your vid was good but I don’t recommend using cloth towels inside the throttle body. Use paper towels so that there’s no chance of fibers getting in between the shaft. Also since you’re already taking off the intake air duct, why not clean the mas air flow sensor?
I owned a 2017 Mazda CX-5 and over the years trying my very best maintaining it myself and with six years at 140,000 the troubles were very minimal. Regular routine including keeping the throttle body grime free but there's one thing that I never had any success dealing most "harnessees" inside of any car. I suck at it and if I'm not familiar with it I will always destroy it while trying and ask questions later. And regarding my Cx-5 I never did figured out how to remove that throttle body harness and over the years. Over the years I would just let it sat on top of the air filter box and clean it there after removing it out of the snorkle and the intake. I was so sad as I watch this video with anticipation that you will mention something about it but you just removed it so lightning fast it was like Clint Eastwood killing both The Bad and The Ugly with just one bullet. Yeah it was fast.
hahahha sorry brother i did not make the video clear enough, the method is to press the tab slowly. Then you press In the Connector then you pull to release.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Yeah! thanks so much with that I am looking forward for my next throttle body cleaning day, it might be a lot sooner this time might be able to finally remove it and use the driveway. LOL
I own a 2016 Mazda 2.2 D skyactiv with 80000KM on it. The idle goes up and down and slow acceleration are inconsistent between 1000 and 2000TRM . Is that one symptom of a dirty throttle body ?
@@amnon3267 disconnect the battery for 10 mins , then you want to warm up the car idle position for 5 minutes then give it a rev hold it at 3000rpm for 2 to 3 minutes, then take it for a drive around the block.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto hi bro, unfortunately doesn't help... LTFT is still around minus 10. I am reading that black ring on the throttle plate is a factory applied graphite like coating ... Do you know something about that? Because i cleaned that with brush... I see in your video that your throttle body also cleaned. Bro please Can you look at your cx5 ltft data? Many thanks
check your MAF sensor watch my other video on how to clean and unplug the MAF sensor . unplug the connection and try starting the car as normal. if its starts to drive okay without stalling then thats your issues.
@@shahnizamawgdamit1437 check all your spark plugs and coil packs , make sure they are in working order. check battery connection make sure they are intact. Well check essentially all sensors connection.
Oh okay. Do we have to relearn the throttle body after the cleaning and putting it back on and reconnect the sensor harness part of the throttle body or would you suggested us to disconnect negative cable from the battery for an easier way so it can reset throttle position sensor itself?
@FelixDanGarasiAuto you’ve answered all my questions I need, thank you thank you!!! 😊 I’m trying to get an idea to avoid any damage parts from my CX-5 when comes to do the cleaning tasks so you helped me a lot!!! After reconnect the negative battery, the throttle body and idle will be running fine correct?
Is it safe to clean the throttle plate by having someone hold down the gas pedal while the car is in the on position? That way you aren't moving the throttle plate by hand and can get the carb on the edges more quickly without taking it all the way off.
yeah you can also do this but be very careful though. maybe dont brush it just spray it with good amount of Tb cleaner. so not risking damaging the motor plate.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks so much for the reply. I am having idling and stalling issues. It threw the codes p0101, p0172, and p0113. I cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor and it improved a lot but still acting up and throwing the codes. Any ideas of what else to do?
Wow,I was going to be charged $169 for cleaning the throttle, although I didn't have it clear if may have include the manifold... What ia that spray youused here? Carburator cleaner???
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Hey man, thanks for the reply! Yeah, I figured it out, there's a little tab on the middle of the front-facing side. It took a torch to be able to see it and a plastic letter opener to be able to depress it properly while pulling the plug off.

GDI intake valve cleaner is safe to use , just have to use it as per the manual . i believe you only need to loosen the intake hose and slide in the CRC intake nozzle and spray the cleaner every 2 to 3 second interval while someone inside the car hold the gas pedal to 3000rpm for a couple of minutes . But please do read the CRC cleaner manual prior doing this. I am uncertain about the engine noise you are referring to . it could be anything . what kind of engine oil are you using . and how often do you change your engine oil . Thank you
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Changed every 6 months, engine oil is liquy moly (molygen, green) 5w20 (0w20 on engine cap, so I think it is ok), the sound stard around month ago. Yesteday the macanic changed to 5w40 molyge, I live in central america.
that is very strange why would there be any noise when start up . how many km's your car done ?
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Felix Dan It has 48000 miles, is not exactly a noise, but is the engine sound but luder at the start on the mornings, 15 sect and the sound back to is normal sound. But a month a go not sound to louder. I will try to clean the MAF and the air sensors, also the throttle body as on your videos, seems easy.
Also wanto clean the valves with GDI intake valve cleaner but have some fear on
ruin the engine. I
I would appreciate it very much if you could make a video of how to do this.
I think it is the same model as mine, a time ago I fix my cargo ligth (make a short circuit on the BCM BCU Body Control Rear Unit Module) ja ja, here is a video that I make to show to the boys that help me to do it on a forum, and is has some mods that I have on my cx5.

Excuse my english, I am from Guatemala.
Oh and what was the torque spec for the bolts. I have a 2016 mazda CX-3
8Nm to 10Nm
I'm having trouble taken off connector from the throttle body is it a lock ?
Use small flat head to push the connector tab and then push and pull the connector, it should work.
Hi there. Is having a dirty carburetor can have your RPMS go up and down as it iddles in neutral?
usually if the TB is dirty you will experience rough idle / hesitation in acceleration. Effecting gas milage.
Did you need to reset the electronic throttle body with a scanner after you reinstalled it?
nope didnt need to reset
Good evening,
Very nice video but how do you unplug the connector? On mine it's very hard, I can't manage to unplug it, is there a way or a technique?
Press the tab. Push in the connector then pull slowly.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto But where is this tab?
Is it in front of the front of the car?
I'm afraid to break the plug, hence my question!
Thank you in advance.
@@gregosenna8242 on the connector ( front )
I left the connector on, removed all 4 screws then turn turn the tb over u get a better view of the tab.
Could you do a video on how to clean valves on this GDI engine? Thx.
Asid Mohammad sure this will be up soon. Stay tune just need a couple more kms on the car to make it as a prove.

Hope you can answer, if theres a problem in throttle body the one you took off and cleaned it, my CX5 2015 shows that DPF malfunction, so, can be problem in throttle body?
It could be dirty DPF or sensor near by.
Thank you for your answer, i got these malfunction lights on: SCBS, Electric parking brake, Tire pressure light and check engine light on. Next day DPF malfunction showed up, went to MAZDA service and they said they couldnt access DPF software in my CX5 , so they would charge me 900$ for new throttle body, dpf regen, temperature sensor in exhaust and removing lights on dashboard that malfunctioned. Sorry for this long question, you got any idea what it could be, the day I got these lights and stuff was heavy snow and mud.
@@SylarusTV have to get it cleaned or replace. Since dpf does get dirty over time from diesel motor.
Hi.
Any plans to do EGR cleaning video with similar mazda? :)
Unfortunately we dont get any diesel engine over here so i could not do egr valve cleaning on skyactiv engine.
do i stop should be reset after disconnecting negative. and also how to make a throttle body rrlearn
yes it will be reset, i think you can also re activate the i stop feature after wards. Have a browse on google im sure you will find the how to’s. TB relearn is to let it idle for 10 minutes and then press n hold the gas pedal on 3000rpm for 3 to 5 mins then to 4000rpm to 3 to 5 mins.
how did you unplug the coonector? i have a 2013 mazda 3 skyactiv and i cant unplug the connector lol
press the tab . then push in and pull out the connector.
Did you have to reprogram the throttle body. Did you get any error codes after cleaning it?.
Thanks love the channel.
nope its not neccessary. unless something gone wrong.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Yes thanks! This is what I thought, that's why I love your channel, you really understand the Mazda brand. It goes to show you must have worked in a Mazda assembly plant in Japan.
you how did you remove the connection from the throttle body is there any luck on it?
Jason Sagun the connection you will need to press the tab then you will be able to push and pull the wire out .
I'm having a problem taken off the connection wire off from the throttle body .. im afraid to break it ?
After cleaning the throttle body and MAF sensor I have 1500 rpm with warm start and I can´t get more than 2000 rpm with full throttle. I also have check enginge light and traction control warning in the dashbord on. It was running perfectly fine before. Did I broke the throttle body? I have disconnected the battery for 1 hour hopping to reset the TB, but no luck. Ifull open the TB while cleaning it. What can I do? Is there a way to quickly restart the ECU and do throttle relearning with Skyactive?
Please check all wiring make sure it is connected properly. By the way did u force it open the TB while cleaning ? If you have you might damage the electricity inside of the TB. to confirm this you will need a OBD tool scanner / MSDS scanner to see the fault. But then again do a recheck and disconnect the battery for 10 mins and restart the car.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks you very much for your reply, I red your comment and went directly to check the connection. The problem was a loose connection of the TB cable. Everything it's good now, smooth iddeling and throttle.
@@caalca05 Awsome ! Glad to hear it is okay at the end. :)
very lucky!
Felix Dan, thanks for the great post. I'd like to ask if you did performed any intake cleaning to your engine so far? If so, which product you have used?
Ian Cho i have not done intake chamber cleaning to the mazda cx 5 . But i have done some using CRC brand and nulon brand in the past and get some great results.
Thanks, I got CRC GDI Intake cleaner to try it later this week...
Is the throttle body the same on a 2011 Mazda 6?
nope different .
Hey ive been having an issue with my 2014 mazda 6 starting up fine, then during idle it goes up to 1500 rpm in park or stopped in drive. I cleaned the throttle body as it was very dirty, now the issue is amplified slightly with idling at a higher rpm, is there a way to reset the throttle, so it knows what to idle at? If so, how do we reset it?
Have you done the relearn process or reset ecu by disconnecting the battery for 10 mins. Then Let the car idle for 5 mins , hold the rev to 2000rpm for 3 - 5 mins , hold the rev to 3000rpm for 3 - 5 mins . Then let the car idle for 5 mins. Shut off the car and restart it after a 5 mins. Then drive as per normal.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto yeah I reset it with your method, problem came back within 10 minutes of me starting it back up and driving it. I also changed the PCV Valve and MAF sensor I have the same issue.
@@matthewteachout4182 hmm very strange. Have you check the pcv valve hose if theres a crack on it? slight air leaks would also trigger idle issue.
Are you a Registered Auto Technician?
Thanks and great video.
shane walsh i used to work within the industry but had gone different route. 😁
I guess I need to buy a torque wrench to not over or under tighten, correct? There is no simple way to put the bolts on, correct?
yes definitely invest in one if you repair / service cars all the time. 👍
I moved the throtle valve so I could clean it propperly. What are the risks of doing that? I did it before watching this video.
If the car operates normally once u assembled it. Do not worry about it. Just dont moved it with force often as you may broken some internal parts within the Throttle body.
Imagine the dealership is gonna charge you $200 to do this kind of job that a high school boy can easily finish up.
My dealership wanted 325 for this, glad I found this video.
or even a girl!
What about the 2.5 Turbo? Looks difficult
My dealer charged for $500
Is Mazda 2 washer same siz with Mazda 3?
I would check with your nearest workshop dealership.
Hi, may I know the reason to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery?
If only I want to change the intake tube to an aftermarket one, do I need to disconnect the negative battery terminal?
to prevent electrical shorting. if you only want to replace intake tube you dont have to disconnect negative terminal.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Great, thank you!
One last thing, when I install a strut tower bar on my mazda 3 bm, is it fine to not torque the top strut bolt down to specs as I have no torque wrench with me.
@@jptuaz1992 just tighten it until snug but dont over tighten it . it should be alright .
Hello from Athens Hellas. Is it a gasoline or a diesel 2.2 150? Thanks for the video. Amazing
Gasoline version. 2.0 ltr.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks for your kind attention on my request. Please help me to my below question additionally. I bought a 2016 mazda cx 5 diesel 2.2 150, 135.000 km and the mazda as a general inspection, made a clean up of the throttle body. The mazda authorised service told me after the cleaning that the intake manifold, appeared very dirty from carbon. They told me that the intake manifold should disassembly
and should be cleaned with Ultrasound. The cost is 500 Euro and I don't know if its true or false damage. As I did a research in the Internet, I found nothing about. Please let me know if you know something to help me on this matter. Thank you anyway you are very kind.
@@scriptamanent6235 yes you will require service the intake valves cleaning (walnut blasting) and needs to remove the manifold to get to the intake valves. Maybe check around as 500 euro is a little too much....
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks very much for your kind attention on this matter. You are very super.
@@scriptamanent6235 you r welcome sir.
Your vid was good but I don’t recommend using cloth towels inside the throttle body. Use paper towels so that there’s no chance of fibers getting in between the shaft. Also since you’re already taking off the intake air duct, why not clean the mas air flow sensor?
Noted. I will use paper towel. MAF sensor i did in separate video. :) thanks bro.
After cleaning need to make programming or not?
Unless you get check engine light on the dash theres no need to reprogram the ecu. The car ecu will relearn it self. Thank you.
If I cleaned it with throttle plate open will I have to relearn the idle? How do you this?
yes you have to do the relearn process if you had the Tb plate open.
At what mileage should this be done? I went to the dealer and they recommended a cleaning on my cx5 with only 15k miles on it. See too soon for that.
yeap every 15k is good
Felix, dimana beli spare part gasket nya di Medan ? Thk u

I did the cleaning before seeing this video. Is it a problem that I didn't disconnect the battery?
as long at the car starts fine with no error code after youve done the service you all set bro :)
I owned a 2017 Mazda CX-5 and over the years trying my very best maintaining it myself and with six years at 140,000 the troubles were very minimal. Regular routine including keeping the throttle body grime free but there's one thing that I never had any success dealing most "harnessees" inside of any car. I suck at it and if I'm not familiar with it I will always destroy it while trying and ask questions later. And regarding my Cx-5 I never did figured out how to remove that throttle body harness and over the years. Over the years I would just let it sat on top of the air filter box and clean it there after removing it out of the snorkle and the intake. I was so sad as I watch this video with anticipation that you will mention something about it but you just removed it so lightning fast it was like Clint Eastwood killing both The Bad and The Ugly with just one bullet. Yeah it was fast.
hahahha sorry brother i did not make the video clear enough, the method is to press the tab slowly. Then you press In the Connector then you pull to release.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto Yeah! thanks so much with that I am looking forward for my next throttle body cleaning day, it might be a lot sooner this time might be able to finally remove it and use the driveway. LOL
@@azkal2ko definately can do , watch my mazda cx 5 videos on general maintenance. Simple and easy way to restore the car performance.
I own a 2016 Mazda 2.2 D skyactiv with 80000KM on it. The idle goes up and down and slow acceleration are inconsistent between 1000 and 2000TRM . Is that one symptom of a dirty throttle body ?
Try to clean throttle body & egr valve see if that fix the issue.
Felix Dan thanks. I found it a little strange though. It started at 60000 km. Such soot deposit should.come long after ?
Felix Dan anyways thanks that s a great video
Dirty maf sensor could be one of the inconsistent idle symptoms.
Como calibrarl la mariposa
Si se descalibre?
Let the car idle for 5 to 10 mins before giving a throttle. So the ecu will relearn.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto de casualidad se descalibra?? O vuelve a su normalidad?
Does it need to be reset sa system after reconnecting negat8ve. Just like when we change battery the computer must be reset.?
ya better to reset .It will be reset automatically after disconnecting negative battery.
Even when it is disconnected is it forbidden to open it by hand?
yes sir dont open it by hand, you might damage the setting of the throttle body.
Doesn't require any relearning or throttle body reset?
let it idle for 10mins and go for a drive around the block , you should be all good to go.
What paint did you use for your engine cover?
its OEM i did not paint them :)
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto lucky!
At what mileage this service is recommended? Thank you.
every 20k kms
Hello Felix, after disassembled throttle body i opened and close it by hand while cleaned... This can damaging calibration or some sensors?
yes if not careful you might damage the calibration on the inner parts / sensor.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto ohhh... Is there any way to diagnose that? Or maybe is there anyway to relearn throttle body?
@@amnon3267 disconnect the battery for 10 mins , then you want to warm up the car idle position for 5 minutes then give it a rev hold it at 3000rpm for 2 to 3 minutes, then take it for a drive around the block.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto hi bro, unfortunately doesn't help... LTFT is still around minus 10.
I am reading that black ring on the throttle plate is a factory applied graphite like coating ... Do you know something about that? Because i cleaned that with brush... I see in your video that your throttle body also cleaned.
Bro please Can you look at your cx5 ltft data? Many thanks
@@amnon3267 ok i will check for you my cx 5 live data & keep you posted on email yeah.
what about throttle body idle relearning?
Yes can do the relearn process it wont do any harm.
My car keep stall when i change gear to D or R while press brake. Can anyone help me out. Checked with obd2 no DTC detected
check your MAF sensor watch my other video on how to clean and unplug the MAF sensor . unplug the connection and try starting the car as normal. if its starts to drive okay without stalling then thats your issues.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto if its keep stall & the engine shut off what could be the issue?
@@shahnizamawgdamit1437 check all your spark plugs and coil packs , make sure they are in working order. check battery connection make sure they are intact. Well check essentially all sensors connection.
Was that considered dirty, or just a demo of the steps?
murky yeap for me its dirty enough. Easier to maintain in the long run rather than having to clean a much dirtier T/body with lots of carbon build up.
Maintenance schedule? After how many kms do you recommend cleaning it? Thank you!
Id say every 20000ks
Is there any reason why we have to disconnect the battery first before doing cleaning tasks?
to avoid unwanted events of short circuits.
Oh okay. Do we have to relearn the throttle body after the cleaning and putting it back on and reconnect the sensor harness part of the throttle body or would you suggested us to disconnect negative cable from the battery for an easier way so it can reset throttle position sensor itself?
@@tomwu4211 correct by disconnecting the neg terminal battery , it would automatically reset / ecu relearn.
@FelixDanGarasiAuto you’ve answered all my questions I need, thank you thank you!!! 😊 I’m trying to get an idea to avoid any damage parts from my CX-5 when comes to do the cleaning tasks so you helped me a lot!!!
After reconnect the negative battery, the throttle body and idle will be running fine correct?
@@tomwu4211 yes correct . 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Is it safe to clean the throttle plate by having someone hold down the gas pedal while the car is in the on position? That way you aren't moving the throttle plate by hand and can get the carb on the edges more quickly without taking it all the way off.
yeah you can also do this but be very careful though. maybe dont brush it just spray it with good amount of Tb cleaner. so not risking damaging the motor plate.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto thanks so much for the reply. I am having idling and stalling issues. It threw the codes p0101, p0172, and p0113. I cleaned the throttle body and mass air flow sensor and it improved a lot but still acting up and throwing the codes. Any ideas of what else to do?
@@cdotson0027 disconnect battery for 10 to 15 minutes and check the maf sensor connection.
@@FelixDanGarasiAuto check it with a multimeter?
@@cdotson0027 i mean visually check.
Don’t you have to reset the computer or something after disconnecting the throttle body?
The ecu resets it self after disconnecting the battery .
