Toyota Tercel Throttle body clean
When does my Toyota Tercel need a throttle body clean?
The throttle body can be found in Toyota Tercel engine bays, it’s part of the air intake system on fuel-injected models. Air from the outside of the Toyota Tercel is directed via tubes and flows through the air filter, into the throttle body, where it is then drawn into the intake manifold.
The air is then mixed with fuel and ignited, creating the combustion required to power a Toyota Tercel.
If a Toyota Tercel’s throttle body is dirty you may notice these signs that it’s time to have it cleaned:
- Engine stall
- Rough idle
- Hesitation on acceleration
- Overall poor performance
To clean a Toyota Tercel’s throttle body involves spraying a designated throttle body cleaner into the throttle body and brush it clean. Ideally, you want a professional mechanic to carry out a throttle body clean.
An automotive service centre or mobile mechanic will be able to do a Toyota Tercel throttle body clean.
