Airbox removal on an 8th Gen (2006-2011) th-cam.com/video/U6-QEH1XhLE/w-d-xo.html Look for the explanation of how to get past that mushroom post. Sorry I can't make a vid to show how I did it. But yeah, I spent like 4 hours trying to figure it out and only about 30 mins actually doing it.
This is, hands down, the very best video on throttle body cleaning. Using the brick is absolutely necessary to not mess with the throttle valve too much. Thanks for the great tutorial.
Can i just say this man deserves a grammy. 10 outta 10 video. Most people cant show anything but the fucking ground or shakey as hell while working at the same time
Your videos are awesome! My 2013 Accord threw the CEL with a code of P2101 and I was in a panic thinking it would cost a small fortune to fix. Thanks to your videos and $15 for two cans of cleaner (Mass Air Flow Sensor and Throttle Body) my problem is solved. I followed your instructions and when I started up the car the idle was high, but after letting it idle for about 10 minutes is settled back to normal. Keep making the great videos - they are extremely helpful!
This guy has the best videos that are so clear and helpful. Makes a difficult job easy and saves me a lot of money. Thanks and keep posting these great videos.
I checked my 2015 Honda Civic, but looks clean at 75k miles. I actually changed the big rubber pipe because it is broken so causing air leak and bad response in acceleration. The magnet was very useful preventing from dropping screws during repair.
Thank you so much. My rough idle is gone now and also my transmission shifts smoother from 1-2nd gear. Thanks! Edit: I had high idle issues afterwards. But using a scanner and resetting the throttle position solved that issue.
Hi it looked pretty clean in there. Did you have any symptoms before cleaning and did you notice much change in performance or feeling on the accelerator pedal
Just discovered your videos!they are helpful but I have some questions. Do you have to reset with a scan tool after cleaning only if it runs rough or throws a code after or just leave it be until it relearns.If no roughness or codes just let it ride?Also if needs to be reset with scan tool does it have to be ASAP or can it ride rough for a week until I have time.
If you have idle problems, hesitation during acceleration, etc. I would clean it at 50k miles. This civic had 36k miles and it wasn't that dirty but cleaning it earlier doesn't hurt anything. Just make sure you reset the throttle position with a scantool after you clean the throttle body. I have a video coming out soon for the TP reset.
Awesome! Thank you man! Instead of using a scantool to reset the throttle position, would something like this work?: th-cam.com/video/YtundPqtKww/w-d-xo.html
Yeah or you can do it like I wrote in the description. No matter what you do, the car will relearn itself after driving 50+ miles, its going to take some time. Resetting with the scantool speeds up the process.
@MrRangerZr1 I replaced the intake hose tube before the throttle body and cleaned the throttle body too but i totally forgot not to touch the throttle plate so wiped it too. Now, i feel a slight jerk when im pressing the gas at low speed. Was it the cause?
You could kill the MAF (down stream of the butterfly). MAF having fine coil (visible under microscope). When the throttle energized the coil heated up.
May I ask a question? If I don't remove the throttle body (TB), only plan to remove the airbox and clean the TB, do I still have to reset the TB? If yes, then why? The 09 Civic LX stopped when at idle. Originally I had a P0102 code. Cleaned the MAF sensor (MAF cleaner), no change, then replaced. No change. Idle got rougher and threw a code related to MAP sensor. I checked the pressure, seemed ok, but as already 12 yrs old, replaced (kept the old one). No change. If I spray carb cleaner anywhere, does not change, no leak it seems. STFT is like 40+, LTFT is 0. Lean... If I start the car, seems ok at idle, but it goes up and down a bit. If I push the gas pedal and rev up, when falls back, idle gets really rough at ~650 rpm and stalls sometimes. Checked and cleaned the EGR (no P4xx code though), measured resistances, engaging if 12 V applied. I run the car for 5 min at 3000 rpm, fan started, let it drop, but stopped. So learning idle, I think, is not the problem. I was thinking TB cleaning... After that, I might just take it to a real mechanic... Rough idle. No error code now. One more thing: I am not sure, but I might became worse when I cleaned the original MAF sensor.. I used MAF cleaner, waited maybe a min and put back. Also, sometimes I forgot to plug back the MAF cable when started the car. Also, did not disconnect battery when removed MAF , MAP or EGR cable... The car was OFF in all cases. Maybe I messed up the ECU?
Thank you so much for this video. Saved me a lot of time and money. I replaced my air intake tube ad well. Is it ok to put some Super Lube synthetic grease around the intake tube lips to make it easier to slip on the throttle body and air box?
Did you turn the car on , when you clean the throttle?? In the morning car started hesitating , then stop , it run smoothly , until I get to red light , hesitates again , it didn't do that before, so I'm going to try this ,
What happens if you gently open plate with your fingers instead of pressing gas pedal? I always thought it is okay to open the place with fingers and then doing a throttle re-learn using a scan tool.
It can throw off the idle adjustment so they say, I mean I have a different car I’m watching this to fix my moms car 😂 I’ve moved my throttle valve by hand while cleaning and nothing happened
I cleaned my Tb (obviously didn’t do enough research, but seen videos people opening throttle valve by hand, and that’s what I did, not I have throttle surging/hunting in neutral only, will the scan tool in the other video fix or could I have possibly messed something up moving the valve by hand? (2012 civic si), and excellent videos brother
@@MrRangerZr1 thanks! Just got the diag tool, will try after work, thanks man, you’re videos on this are the clearest and most concise I’ve seen, and I’ve done a lot of looking for the fix. Wish I would’ve found them beforehand.
Just wondering if you'd have any tips I cleaned the tb well someone was stepping on the gas instead of using a brick and was sure not to move the plate. I did the idle relearn but now when I'm going at a slow rate of speed and let off the gas my car seems to jump/jerk a bit. Any tips or advice?
What's the best way to reset the throttle after this? I've heard of doing the hold rpm thing etc, but can I just disconnect the battery for a while? Won't that do the same
I recently cleaned the throttle body and replaced the intake boot on my 2012 Honda Civic. I didn't energize the throttle body when cleaning it, i moved it by hand. Now sometimes when I'm driving it refuses to accelerate past 3k or 4k rpm. I have no power and it's making it difficult to drive. Did I damaged my TPS or throttle body by doing that? My idle is fine
@@MrRangerZr1 I tried the relearn procedure you posted in your description and it didn't fix my issue. Would I need a scan tool calibration at that point?
Hey I did the same thing on my honda civic 2012. P1129 code popped up. Every time I accelerate on the freeway, it feels like the engine gonna die. I changed MAP sensor and air inlet hose, did the drive cycle plus about 50 miles of just test driving. After that, I checked again for codes and it was gone.
@@SharpieEasternn Hi bro, I need your help. I moved the plate throttle with my fingers, now my car in idle is about 3k rpm and the idle rpm move up and down, up and down, is a infinite circle How do you were resolving this problem ?
So do you leave your engine running while the air box is out and the MAF sensor disconnected or you just turn it on . Would this cause a check engine light to come on?
Hey man I just bought a 2017 Honda Accord sport with 10,000 and I was wondering if the procedure for cleaning is the same And if so, how often the throttle body should be clean for preventive maintenance.,
My 2013 Honda Civic check engine light came on. When scanned it gives me the code p1659. My mechanic recommends that the throttle body should be cleaned. Any suggestions?
Have to ask, what happens if you move the throttle plate while cleaning it? My sons car needs to be done and I'm sure its going to be filthy inside there. Can the throttle body be removed to do this? On my tercel, I had to remove the whole thing and scrub it with a soft brush and tb cleaner it was so filthy. Also, I couldn't tell, but did you fully start the car to open the throttle plate?
If you move the throttle plate, it might mess up the internals of the throttle body. Best way to clean is to remove the throttle body but still open the throttle plate by using the car to open the throttle plate, don't manually open it. If you absolutely have to open it manually, then slowly open it. I did not start the car, you can't start it up, it won't run and you will probably create more problems. You need to turn on the ignition/accessories, NOT the engine.
My 2013 civic idles rough and gets an average 21mpg , I have changed the air filter, spark plugs and still no difference, Do you think cleaning the throttle body would help?
@@eseven2547 I changed the spark plugs again as the ones I put in before were probably fake because one went out on me after about 1500 miles, that seemed to help but it still idles a little rough at times just not as bad as before. The mpg is a little better but still low because I do alot of city traffic driving because I live in the city in Jamaica so I don't do much long driving, I find that when I do long highway driving the mpg is great, up to 32mpg
What if the edge of the throttle plate is also very dirty? Do I just leave it alone? Or should I try to clean it very gently without trying to move the plate?
I did this and my throttle bounces around when letting the gas off. Why would it start to stick after cleaning? I tried the relearn procedure and it didn't work. Any ideas?
@@MrRangerZr1 No I just let the car heat up by holding the rpms to 3k for 3mins or so as others did. Do you need the laptop and software? Others claim you don't... I'm not sure.
@@MrRangerZr1 done cleaning intake manifold, throttlebody of 07 civic sedan 2.0, done relearn using a gadget, but still when im cruising and shifts to a neutral the rpm drops like its gonna stall, or when im ready to shutdown the engine when i turn off the a/c lights etc, before i turn off the engine thr rpm drops
You have to reset the idle position to get it back to normal (video in description) or you just drive it until it relearns itself. Reason why the idle is high because the throttle plate used to sit in a different position when it was dirty.
Search for video " Honda CVT plug coming out fix", there it show the the vent/breather cap plug up with dirt, that cause excess pressure which pop off the fill plug.
@@metzmatu8409 I realize that. Most people don’t know but you need to keep that rubber piece clean so the air comes out. I have to check mine again lol.
MrRangerZr1 thanks. Hey is putting a fog lights on our cars difficult? The routing process is pretty easy for me but when it comes to splicing it and puttimg the button i find that hard. Is the process the same for 2012 and 2013? I seen a vid of the 2013 which is easier imo than the 12.
MrRangerZr1 I heard couple horror stories,. Their heater stops working, car dies unexpectedly while driving....check engine light won’t go off... and they still can’t fix it yet...

Search for video " Honda CVT plug coming out fix", there it show the the vent/breather cap plug up with dirt, that cause excess pressure which pop off the fill plug.
@@metzmatu8409 I realize that. Most people don’t know but you need to keep that rubber piece clean so the air comes out. I have to check mine again lol.
You sure this is safe for that throttle body motor? It's making a horrible whining noise while you're doing it.
It makes that sound when the engine is on, it's electronic.
My idle is high after cleaning the throttle body. How can I fix this
Did you see the idle relearn video? In description.
So basically the first option to do the idle relearn is to just drive the car normally?
Drive it around, if it doesn't then use the scanner.
Is it OK to use carburetor cleaner instead of TB cleaner?
Some do but I wouldn't recommend it at all.
Thanks bro
Does he start the engine or just turn the key ?
Turn the car on to ACC. Don't start it.
Don't you need to use a computer to reset the idle rpm ?
Yes video in description
💯💯💯
What happens if you do move the throttle plate? Curious here I'm about to do the throttle body clean tomorrow
You might mess up the internals of the TB and it will confuse the ECU.
@@MrRangerZr1 So I did this…didn’t realize you couldn’t I’m open the throttle plate with your hand. Is there something I need to do to reset it?
@@MrCodemister13 If the idle is off reset the tb
I have move the trottle plate, and now the engine is not running fine, what can i do now?
You may have damaged the throttle body. Try a throttle body reset.
How can i do a throttle body reset?
I have the video on my channel.
Great job. I like to take the throttle body off and clean the back.
Best way to do it. Make sure you get a new gasket.
MrRangerZr1 Yeah I grabbed one from Napa. Don’t think it’s ever been done on my used Honda. How long will the relearn process take?
Depends on your ECU. If it's really dirty, you need to reset it with the scanner.
what honda civic
push start is that?
Civic in the video is a 2014
What about the throttle body relearn?

My car is asking for a code i dc the battery overnight cus i was cleaning the tb and maf sensor
Radio code? Hold down the radio power button until it beeps.
MrRangerZr1 thanks. Hey is putting a fog lights on our cars difficult? The routing process is pretty easy for me but when it comes to splicing it and puttimg the button i find that hard. Is the process the same for 2012 and 2013? I seen a vid of the 2013 which is easier imo than the 12.
I would highly recommend getting the OEM fog light kit. No headaches down the road.
How do you reset the throttle position (idle relearn)?

@@MrRangerZr1 Tks man, bu I don't have that. Only a bafx that read and clear engine codes. The ECU doesn't relearn by itself?
It will. Drive it normally.
@@MrRangerZr1 Thank you so much. Have you ever done the valve's gap adjustment?
Not yet. Only at 50k miles now.
Now, you gotta do a relearn for the idling setting.. with s scanner
Yes and that's why you read the description ;)
Remove the full throttle body out and spray it down with throttle body cleaner, the way you cleaned it was pointless 🤦🏽♂️
Really? What about the dirt on the towel?
@@MrRangerZr1 remove the hole throttle body and spray it down , guarantee you’ll be more satisfied
It’s ridiculous that you have to relearn the throttle body....
It will relearn on its own but it takes a while.
MrRangerZr1
I heard couple horror stories,. Their heater stops working, car dies unexpectedly while driving....check engine light won’t go off... and they still can’t fix it yet...
No way. If you did everything like I did in the video, you won't have any problems. They must of screwed up something else.
MrRangerZr1
They Must have, but thanks ...
Why not just spray it in there
No spray on a cloth then wipe
@@MrRangerZr1
Got it 👍, did u have to do the relearn process or no
@@fzghbkhvgfhhgv3524 Yes. Video in description
