Hey, Robert! Just a quick add to the throttle body cleaning video. I had done the throttle body cleaning about 20k miles/a year ago per this video and all of the sudden, when my girlfriend borrowed the car (2011 Outback 2.5), it started to hesitate upon take off...but only when the AC was on. No fault codes or anything. Acted almost like torque converter slippage 😖but I had removed the valve body, replaced the solenoids and replaced ALL of the CVT fluid after having done a thorough fluid swap out (drained/filled/drained after 3k miles/filled again) prior to the Christmas lights coming on, so...🤞🤞🤞 Turned out to be a dirty MAF sensor! Cleaned it and when I inspected the throttle body, pulled the MAP sensor and cleaned that, too. Did the idle relearn procedure (thanks!) and all is good once again. I was really surprised I was getting no codes though. Thought this may help someone.

@ndagijimana 8 ай бұрын

Thank you for this information, also as you do the cleaning also always check the air filter. Mine was displaying check engine light and was still hesitating after all the cleanup until i replaced the air filter. This was after diagnosis that reported RICH AIR-FUEL mixture meaning less air much fuel. If it reports LEAN AIR-FUEL mixture, its time to check the fuel filter.

@josebermeo9042 3 ай бұрын

I have an 02 forester , similar symptoms but mine feel like the back diff is trying to catch up with the front diff, like my gear gets stuck on high rpm or like if it was stick and I down shifted but once I step on the gas it pulls /jumps forward. I replaced the trans, fluids filters and still same. But I don’t think my year has a maf sensor, I’m going to try the map /tps sensors, clean the throttle body plus add a K&N filter, read some where that helped them

2010 Forester, 218,000 miles. Rough idle, sometimes die at a stop. This procedure gave me back a smooth idle, engine doesn't die at stops. Took maybe 30 minutes. Inside of the throttle plate looked like the bottom of a tar bucket. Probably doesn't help it uses a quart of oil every 500 miles. But it's paid for and reliable.

Do you think the second (charcoal) filter at the filter box should be serviced, other than a new assembly since it's fixed in place. How would you do it.... silicone dabs to reinstall if removed, or...? We drive on seven miles of dirt/rock dusty mountain roads before pavement, so I don't want to just remove it as others have suggested. I'm going to use the shop vac on it for now. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If the engine is port injected it shouldn't have that buildup. Or am I wrong? Thanks, and Happy New Year!

Very good, I'll try this for my 2005 Forester that went "throttle unresponsive" this evening. Could you also have lubricated either side of plate (shaft) with oil? My code read (throttle position sensor) I may have to check voltage readings with a fluke but this will provide for a good start! Much appreciated!

Update; it worked. I also cleaned the MAF sensor. I did not oil the shaft as I was fearful it would travel along the shaft and run into the attached sensor. I understand first would be the spring void cavity but suffice it to say the throttle plate was very free.

Thank you for the video - I guess I wonder why not just spray some CarbCleaner in the intake and let the stuff drip off....am I wrong in this thinking??

I have a 2014 forester I had all services done but as soon as the spark plugs were changed , it started to throttle... supposedly misfire in #4 .... I wonder if it has to do with this procedure ....

Is this process similar for a 2000 subaru legacy?

Hi, i know it's good step to cleant it, but in my old mondeo mk3, when I I cleaned it ones, RPM started to "swimming", and noone could repair it, so now i'm sceptic. Even i bought another throttle body, but i didnt help. Now i have H6 and would like to do this cleaning but i'm afraid it comes to the same problem as before Regards.

I've cleaned many of them without having to do an idle relearn. Some do need an idle relearn after cleaning. Can't say which will or won't.
