CX9 2016 carbon build up in throttle body
Charged $100 for a carbon/contaminant clean.
Would love everyone's opinion on the picture, is there or isn't there carbon/contaminant build up on the throttle body? https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...e26dde530d.jpg Throttle body Thanks! |
Carbon is baked oil. Oil won't get to the throttle body butterfly (what's in the photo). And, the butterfly won't get hot enough to bake oil. The throttle body parts do build up some crud. No air filter is 100% effective. If one can remove the intake tubing enough to get to the butterfly, spray some throttle body cleaner on a lint-free cloth, wipe it with your cloth covered finger, you now have a clean throttle body and $100 in your pocket.

what year is the car and how many miles on it?
Did you need it or mechanic recommended it? Did it make any noticeable difference at all possibly not taking into account the placebo effect? |

That looks pretty bad & in need of a good clean.
The year or miles has nothing to do with the question about this throttle body needing either replacement or a complete service. Service is defined in the case of the pictures likely more then just a cleaning! Oil from blow by in the crankcase in some model engine inductive system can introduce oil into the throttle body and a throttle body can get to a temperature that it can cook that vaporized oil. Although most catch -cans do not work as some claim I do run one on the breather side and mount it as low as possible to improve its efficiency. In the picture you can also see that the factory breather tube does run in front of the throttle body and that oil vapor and deposits can under condition that vary get into the Throttle body. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...0fba6ad82a.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.maz...5d5c8f943c.jpg |
