Throttle body cleaned - before & after

[Mrdeli]

Cleaned the throttle body.

 

The pics show before and after. The pics are of the inner side of the throttle body (car 79k miles).

 

Although there was a bit of gunk, cleaning it has not resulted in any noticeable differences (I guess in fairness I was not experiencing problems anyhow, but just like things clean!).

I'm surprised you haven't noticed any difference - I had some issues a while ago with the car seeming to struggle on ignition, gave the throttle body a good clean (it was similar to yours) and this seemed to noticeably improve the car start up.

Yes i was hopeful of improvement - but as I say I didnt have a specific problems before I cleaned it, just thought it would do no harm ( I guess secretly I was hoping to release another 50 or 60hp )

I gave my throttle body a clean at about 30,000 miles. It was not as dirty as yours but it did make a difference.

 

I did the throttle reset procedure after I cleaned it and then noticed the difference. I would recommend you do the same, and I'm sure you will notice a change. Have a search round and you will find the procedure.
