Cleaning Throttle Body!

[AsH_]

cant see thru the filter, wen i took it off it was a mud filter...

i sprayed water thru it for like 15min...

then i oiled the hell outta it...

i should still buy a new one, coz minez old...

I meant a new K&N. It's literally see through. You can look through the panel filter material and still watch TV.

And you can't spray water through it. You need to use the cleaning kit's detergent. Get a new one anyway. Something dry would be nice and you'd avoid having dirt stuck everywhere (it sticks because it has been "oiled" by the filter oil)

yeah that is one big bad thing about the oil based aftermarket re-usable filters. u need to hose it off, then use the cleaning stuff and hose it off again if it is really crappy.--- well anyways. just exsperiement with a bunch of em .. and get back to us someone

yeh i used the K&N cleaning kit... worked well... but ill probly replace it anywayz...

how long do those podz normally last on avg??

K&N claim "lifetime of the car". If I remember correctly, the back of the box said 1,000,000km warranty on the filter.

Clean the IACV. http://ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4693

It's interesting that sometimes it is the gunk that is "partially jamming" the throttle body that keeps your idle consistent.

i tried taking off my IACV with a socket set an i broke the socket adapter...

im gona use a o-ring spanner 2 do it soon... its sooooo friggin hard 2 get off... its like its permanently on there...

can it be that my IACV needs cleaning???

i cleaned the TB and afterwards my idle sits at 1.6k on idle...

[AsH_]

is it a difficult task to remove the throttle body... ???

throttle butterfly ???

throttle cable ???

is there a certain way i should tackle this...

i dont want to stuff something up and not have my car running no TB...

[AsH_]

where can i buy those little hoses that come off the IACV and FITV... ???

i want to get them changed due to the fact they are clogged up with crap... and i think its for the best... poor hoses...
