Hi all

I think it is time for me to clean the tb and have never done it to my car before. Can anyone advise how to do this and what to clean on it please.

Many thanks

hi, you might open a can of worms as these sometimes dont re-calibrate themselves and it may need to go on ids to be reset....what problems are you having? accurate description will ensure you get best advice before doing anything to your car. if you decide to clean it use carb cleaner, remove air intake and clean throttle plate and surround. DONT use a screwdriver etc to open throttle plate as a deep scratch will cause more problems, regards steve

Thanks for the advice steve.

Accurate fault description is:

Car used to have instant power, now it lags for a second before it flys.

Clutch switch has fallen apart and since then the revs stay high ( rev to say 2000, foot off peddle

and revs take forever to drop to tickover ).

Thr drivers seat can no longer be tilted forward to let a passenger in, the passenger chair behind the

drivers chair will not go forward so cannot flatten the seat for more carry space.

Both door pillar plastic facias fell off.

Apart from that the car is ok.....

i would do clutch switch and check for air leaks with carb cleaner or try with maf disconnected, but my advice would be pay a garage £15 ish to scan for fault codes and read live data. post codes and i can help you, regards steve

Thanks Digidash, This thing of holding the clock button in when the ignition is off then turning on gives different information, will this also give error codes?
