Would cleaning the throttle body on a v6 Accord help anything with hard cold starting problems?

 

wow alot of threads like have to do with this similar topic..... to answer your question yes int he mornings when **** (carbon build up and oil and fuel) is thicker gets stuck to the throttle body and plate... it sometimes causes hard starting... cleaning it will most likely fix your problem.. or atleast make it better than before..

 

This always happens on your 80 accord; adjust the choke linkage on your carb to open the choke plate a little extra

 

oh ok i didnt know it was an 80

 

it is a 2000 honda accord v6. any tips on how to clean the throttle body?

 

if you got no issues with your TB don't clean it. but if you want to clean it, then best way to do is: remove the TB from the head, and clean it in you bath tub or sink.

you can clean it while TB on the engine: tooth brush method work, but who is going to clean the carp that you already brush? your engine.

your valve, your manifold, your cat, your muffler - what not, new cars have lots of censors - everywhere, if one of those block or damage then what ?

you'll have to clean the whole car with a tooth brush.

 

3M actually makes a 3 part cleaner.

A plate cleaner, an additive, and a neato little can you let the motor idle off of, whilst you've cut fuel.
