How to clean drive by wire Throttle Body on most KIA Vehicle 

Highly appreciate your time and effort to create such an informative and helpful content you are the best.

Thank you very much for your video, very easy to follow. Close views allowed me to understand in details the steps. However I had a bit of panick right after cleaning the throttle body. First time I tried to start the engine it ran for 2 seconds, then stopped. Next try 1 second. Next try did not run at all. I found on forums that it is indeed pretty common when cleaning the throttle body. According to the forum, a trick that often works is to floor it and release the pedal once the engine runs. I did it and it worked. Maybe an improvment for your videos could be a "frequently encountered problem" section at the end. (for dummies like me not to panick 😂)

Very useful tip thanks

Thanks.

Good Morning! I am having issues with my wife's 2017 Kia Rio LX so I decided to post on here for any suggestions or helpful tips! I am no mechanic however I did a ton of research in hopes to get this problem resolved! Here is the story so far.... 2017 Kia Rio LX V4 Error Code: P0445 fixed P0442 active Problem: Stalls at Idle/stop signs after driving for 30+ Once turned off it can take 2-5 minutes of rest until the car successful turns back on Replaced: Canister Close Valve Purge Valve Gas Cap Crankshaft Sensor Hypothesis / Things not yet replaced or tested: EVAP Vacuum Leak or Clog Vent Solenoid Charcoal Canister Cracked/ Defective Thank you in advance! 2017 Kia Rio LX 1.6 L 4-cylinder

Great video! Can you tell why you clean that black circle on the back side? I belive that is a factory thing!

Do you have to replace the gasket? I saw a orange one on the engine.

What’s the socket size to unscrew the bolt?

FOR KIA FORTE 2012 ALSO SAME?

Did you put a new gasket on after cleaning

Hi I saw your video, wondering if the issue is the same. As my RPM will dip to around 500rpm and engine vibration is quite significant when I switch my aircon speed to fan 2. When I am on aircon speed fan 3 no issue engine not much vibration. Can this be fix by cleaning the throttle body? Driving a kia k3 (2013)

I have a 2020 kia telluride is this applicable?

Ive got a 2006 kia rio and its is sluggish on acceleration it idles rough. And even worse when the ac is turned on ive got no engine codes and nothing major going on. Do you think this may help my issues with the sluggish acceleration in stop and go traffic.

what product did you use

It is not easier to remove it completely and clean it?

How often should be done? I have 2016 KIA Forte. Is there a need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery?

After cleaning need to reset anything?

What is the relearning process for a 13 optima 2.4 ? If I clean do I even have to relearn ?

Don’t need calibration like in nissan ?

I use a toothbrush. It's smaller and gets in the throttle body easier.

No need to disconnect battery ?

Just that little dirt makes a big deal in car running smoothly?

Hi, could cleaning this fix code P0507?

Should blow out debris after covering intake

Why didn't you take it out? did you just clean inside the car?

how can you do the relearn without a scanner?

There's no way you just pulled that thing up out of there without disconnecting something else... I'm trying to pull mine out to get to the backside, but it seems impossible without disconnecting either the radiator hose or some of the wiring harnesses...

If you move that butterfly valve as you clean it, it's totally screwed up and no way to repair / reset. Not a cheap part either..

the real question is, where do you buy that brush from?lol

My 2.4 shudders at red light with brake on and in gear. Cleaned throttle body twice. No improvement. Only does it once it warms up. Thinking i need a GDI service. No telling what the valves look like.

I have a 2015 Kia Forte LX with 385,000 miles on it, and I´ve only cleaned the throttle 3 times now. I know! Shame on me!

He thinks he is sanitizing his toilet. Not necessary!
