Throttle Body Assembly Cleaning and Inspection




The throttle bore may be cleaned on-vehicle using carburetor cleaner (Saturn P/N 21007432) and a shop towel. Follow instructions on container. Do not use a cleaner that contains methyl ethyl ketone, an extremely strong solvent that is not necessary for removing this type of deposit.

Removal of throttle body may be required for a thorough cleaning.
