Hey I was planning on cleaning my throttle body today so I went to pep boys but I couldnt find any throttle body or intake cleaner so I asked this biker dude what he thought I should use and he told to buy Gumout Carb and Choke Cleaner and I was wondering if that stuff will work or should I just go somewhere else. Thanks

 

When I did mine it was called throttle body and carb cleaner, I found it at Napa.

 

I used the same stuff from NAPA...worked good

 

Just like 2 days ago someone posted a message because they're having problems with their car after they cleaned the intake with carburator cleaner. I don't know if there is a difference between the two but you should use the throttle body cleaner just to be safe. I don't think they would be two different products if they're the same thing.

Pepboys carries it, if you can't see if ask someone at the counter. There are a number of different companies that make it..GUNK, STP, Strauss has their own brand.

 

Go to Autozone or the like. The one I got and used is called "Throttle Body & Air Intake Cleaner" by STP.

 

GUMOUT makes an "Air Intake & Throttle Body Cleaner".

Whatever brand you choose, just remember one thing, most throttle bodies have protective coatings. Buy something that is safe for it.

 

use throttle body cleaner the other stuff has something in it and it will be harder to start your car!!!

 

Hey thanks for the help Good thing I asked before I used that stuff

 

Daaaanng all you guys need to stop spending so much money on intake cleaner.
