Not yet but when the time comes

Every vehicle I’ve owned. Every 30K I clean the throttle body. I typically don’t remove them. Are the throttle bodies hard to access on these engines? I haven’t explored around the engine bay yet to see. Thanks.

 

Wut in the tarnation

 

He's probably the Toyota engineer who came up with 40K mile spark plug change interval on these engines too.

 

You better put down your Chiltons manual

 

Waste of time. But it's your time.

 

I guess y’all never take out the maf sensor and clean those too. You be surprised how dirty throttle bodies get.

 

I clean my throttle body on my Mustang and mass air every oil change. Does make it idle more smoothly.

I’ve yet to explorer what cleaning the throttle body on the Tundra consists of. Good question.

l do clean the maf also. It’s a good idea depending how hard you drive your truck to change plugs for optimal performance around 40k also, not a must. But for the nay sayers, you do you…

 

Are you using aftermarket filters like K&N or anything that takes spray-on filter oil? Those will gum up a throttle body real fast. If not, try using OEM spec air filters or something with a little more filter media.

 

I do me every 30K. Plugs when they say.

 

I use AFE dry flow.

 

Yeah I’ve got a k&n drop in. I don’t mind cleaning them. Fairly accessible. Tundra is more of a pain.
