How to inspect and clean the throttle body?

During the inspection of the throttle, verify that the throttle linkage operates smoothly. To remove any build-up, remove the air intake duct and inspect the bore. If it is dirty, clean it using a solvent or carburetor cleaner that is safe for oxygen sensor systems and catalytic converters. To begin the removal process, the cable should be disconnected from the negative battery terminal. The air intake duct and resonator should be removed. The throttle body connector(s) should be disconnected, along with any throttle body hoses and vacuum hoses.

Saturn Ion Throttle Body

The Throttle Body in vehicles of Saturn Ion is an important component of the fuel injection system, which controls the amount of air being supplied to the fuel injectors to further control its entry to the engine. It has a butterfly valve, in the form of an inlet valve, which opens in response to accelerator pedal input to allow more air to get into the combustion chamber which is proportional to the right air/fuel mixture. It is usually sited between the air cleaner and intake manifold and serves to coordinate with other components, including sensors, to modulate the amount of fuel supplied. It is a known fact that the Saturn Ion vehicles have jumped from having a mechanical throttle controlling to the Electronic Throttle Control system thus improving on the performance and introducing control of the throttle operation with the existing traction and stability controls. The older models of the throttle bodies are very reliable; nevertheless, the high mileage vehicle tends to be impacted by wear and deposits. In such circumstances, details including cleaning or replacement of components such as the throttle body, throttle position sensor as well as Idle Air Control valve may be required.

Each OEM Saturn Ion Throttle Body we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
