BG44K?

BG 44k is a fuel system cleaner - a fuel additive. what i'm looking for is the stuff that cleans the acutally throttle body. i think you apply it to a rag a clean the body.

but since you mention 44k, that is what lead me to this question. i was looking into getting some BG 44k fuel injector cleaner and then noticed that BG sold a throttle body cleaner also (A SEPERATE PRODUCT - not the 44k - can't remember what they call the TB cleaner). anyone used the BG brand throttle body cleaner?

 

i thought there was a how-to in the sticky how-to thread...but there isn't.

anyone got a how-to besides this one:

actually...let me check my NEW Haynes Manual!!!

 

ITs not that complicated...just spray it into the TB. I use either BG or Granitize.

 

Gumout is good. i used it for my 1993 and had a big difference.

 

I used valvoline synthetic throttle body cleaner i got from the local parts store. Works wonders.

 

They (BG) make something for your TB. It's called Air Intake System Cleaner and the part number for the spray can is 406. It's a 14.75 oz. can. I bought mine from my Nissan dealer for $8.50. I did not use it on my Max though. I bought it for my truck.

toyota throttle body cleaner. yes safe for sensors and coating they put on. and made for japan cars.

 

ROFL.... I must be too tired last night to not know the difference between fuel system cleaner and throttle body cleaner.

Happy new year.
