gunmetalzgt Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Can this be done with the engine running with some carb cleaner? Going to do an extensive service tomorrow and thought id do that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narcotix Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I've done it that way in the past with previous cars ... But I cleaned my throttle body on the Zed with the Engine off ... BTW: Remember to not force the butterfly valve too much when opening it ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mic-39 Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I dont think, in fact I would be pretty confident that you cannot do this with the engine running--That is if it will run--The Z airflow meter is after the airbox and to get at the throttle body you need to disconnect the air pipe after the meter. The engine may run but you will definately throw a cel As said above just be careful moving the butterfly when you are cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 why do you need to be careful while moving the butterfly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Be very careful with doing this and deffo not with the engine running!!! There are loads of reports about people fooking them up when cleaning... Do a search on the Zed forums and also do a search on youtube, there is a good video...
