Hey there, Just wanted to give you a HUGE thank you, I had a water leak coming from the throttle body on my car and after searching so many videos i was about to give up but thought I'd give your video go. Not only did you help me remove my throttle body but it turned out my throttle body was damaged. So after getting it repaired and cleaning it up it works perfectly now, and there's no more leaks, I also enjoyed your explanation as to why you prefer to remove the throttle body when cleaning it as that question did pop up in my mind while watching your video. So all and all ... THANK YOU ❤
In a world where most people cut corners and take the easy way, it is great to see a man do a job the right way. Much respect and salute to you good sir. Thank you for all the great videos you make.
Absolutely see the benefits of removing it before cleaning. I cleaned mine last time without removing it. Definitely going to remove the throttle body next time when I go to clean it again. Thank you for the great video!
Nice job. Well done! I sure am glad I saw this video - before - I clean the throttle body on my 2000 Echo, which I'm guessing has not been done in 20 years.
think I'll just leave mine in place and use old toothbrush or similar to clean while holding open throttle plate so I dont risk something breaking during removal due to age / heat. Even a rag wrapped on a stick could do nicely in there also or anything similar. Bit of inginuity to avoid possible bigger problems.
Thank you. There is not too much out there for the Echo, but as an owner I appreciate help oriented towards the echo. I recall that another Toyota shares an almost exact replica, or similar engine, but I don't remember which. Corolla? Yaris? If anyone knows, then share. I tried finding another ~1.5 L engine but could not find much.
I just did this today. took me the better half of 2 hours. I had to remove the air box assembly and battery to reach coolant lines. My impatience made me forget to crimp the coolant lines. Coolant everywhere. Place tubes facing upwards and crimp to avoid that. Now i have to add more coolant and bleed air out of system. But i took off both sensors and cleaned everything with crc throttle cleaner.
Echo idle rpm is 700 +-50 If it not running stable after the warm up it also can be a problem in the throttle... the iac is in there.... you should tell the people about that and that is also a problem....
Love your site. Own 4 Toyota's & do most of the maintenance & repair on all my vehicle's. Just took the throttle body on my 2010 Scion XB with 2.4 L engine all the way off and cleaned it just like you show. When I'm putting it back on the small hose at the bottom of the throttle body below the electrical plug has no clamp. Do all the hose have clamps and it fell off when I pulled the throttle body off. Should of payed more attention. Thanks.
Great video, thanks for posting. Where is the dipstick tube when you do this? Mine is blocking me so I can’t get the throttle body out or access to unclip the 2 coolant lines.

you have the dipstick because your car is automatic transmision, the car on the video must be standard.
Thank you for the video. What are the torque specs for reinstalling the TB? and did you need to adjust the TB cable, or just put it back like you took it off?
I just got a 2018 Toyota Corolla ....I was wondering if you could tell me how to change the fluid for the cvt ? Or guide me on where I could look into.....thank u love your videos !
Amazing video. I have a question, Do you need to add coolant and bleed the system? (I thought you lost some coolant there and air is introduced to the system)
I just did the job. It went quite smooth. I did notice a problem though. I had to remove the airbox and found that the bottom of it was ripped. I duck-taped the crack nicely, and placed the box back. Would it cause any problem in the future? The box image is at the link below. imgur.com/a/sncxVSa
TaTa Butter Bubu don’t worry go ahead, there is gasket it is like plastic rubber which doesn’t glue with anything. I have open throttle body and there is no issue .
I have 06 corolla with electronic throttle body i removed to clean it and the butterfly was not spining i cleaned anyways and putted back with the plugs and everything else and a check engine came out and also my car stumbles and idle up and down i did this couse my car has 2k rpm in cold start but now is worst
Same here - my Echo has a transmission dipstick in the way of the third screw.pretty hard to get a wrench in there without having to remove the ATF dipstick. Looks like the model that Peter was working on didnt have that, or he moved/removed it before starting the video.
I have a 2001 Toyota echo. Everytime I go to turn on the car it shuts off. Check engine light on because throttle body sensor. How do I make this into a cheap fix?????
