Throttle Body and Air-Intake Cleaner by CRC is specifically designed for use on the Throttle Body.
This cleaner should not be confused with carburetor cleaner. If you need to clean your throttle body than the purchase should pay for itself with the regain in engine performance and additional miles per gallon. This product effectively dissolves the accumulated harmful and performance robbing deposits. This is designed for the basic surface cleanup.
Some usage and clean up tips are to place an absorbent towel under the area being cleaned to capture the removed gunk, and cover any painted, plastic, or delicate surfaces from over spray. This product is not paint friendly.
Inhalation hazard so use in a well ventilated area.

Comments about CRC Throttle Body and Air Intake Cleaner:
I used this on the air intake of a 2004 alero 6cyl engine. When I took the air cleaner assembly off to expose the air intake I saw quite a bit of varnish on the bottom of the butterfly and air intake. I sprayed the CRC cleaner and it instantly melted away all the varnish and dirt. Now the entire assembly looks brand new.

Q:
Is CRC Throttle Body and Air Intake Cleaner (Part No. 05078) this product safe to use on a 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SE? How do I use it and can you use it while car is running?Asked on 12/20/2012 by rick1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes, this CRC Throttle Body and Air Intake Cleaner - part# 05078 should work fine on your 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SE. It is not recommended to be used when the vehicle is running. Spraying it only really does not help much at all. Physical scrubbing and rubbing with the solvent is what it takes. Just stuff an old sock or rag at the bottom of the intake manifold to absorb all the solvent and scum. Both sides of the throttle plate must be cleaned along with the throat of the throttle body. For any further assistance, please visit your nearest Advance Auto store or call us directly at 1-877-ADVANCE (238-2623) and one of our representatives there would be more than happy to assist you.Answered on 12/20/2012 by Vincent from AAP

DO you have to take the intake off?Asked on 2/24/2012 by Anonymous1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Remove the engine cover and locate the throttle body on the intake manifold. Remove the throttle body electrical connector. Loosen and remove the bolts that hold the throttle body. Lift out the throttle body and its gasket. Discard the gasket. Clean the mating surfaces of the throttle body thoroughly to remove any gasket material or other dirt and debris with a plastic scraper. Install the throttle body with a new gasket. Set the bolts in place on the throttle body and finger tighten them. Torque the bolts to 21 foot pounds of torque. Re-attach the throttle body electrical connector. Replace the engine cover. Reconnect the negative battery cable to the terminal and secure the bolt. Start the engine and allow it to run until it is warm. Check for secure connections and optimum performance.Answered on 2/26/2012 by Vincent from AAP

Q:
I have a 2009 cobalt and a 2010 chevy malibu. the cobalt has a 2.2L and about 42k on it. the mailibu has the 2.4L with about 35k on it. I took the vehicles to the dealer for final inspections before bumper to bumper coverage expires and they said both vehicles need throttle body cleaning and want $150 a peice. Will this treatment work for these vehicles?Asked on 1/29/2012 by Anonymous from Williston, FL2 answers
A:
This product will work for these vehicles.
Both of these vehicles are relatively new so they should not need to have the throttle body cleaned. If you find that you often need to clean throttle bodies than I would look a bit up-stream and see why the air filter is not capturing the dirt before it is getting deposited on the throttle body or worse yet passed through the engine.CUSTOMER CARE

Q:
I have a 2007 Hyundai Sonata V6 and would like to know if I use the CRC Throttle Body and Air Intake Cleaner to clean the throttle body do I have to remove the throttle body? And is the MAF sensor far enough away so I won't have to worry about removing the MAF sensor or damaging it?
