2005 Chevrolet SSR Throttle Body Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to clean the throttle body safely and effectively on 2005 Chevrolet SSR?

  A: Start the Throttle Body cleaning process by removing the air intake duct while making sure ignition is off to minimize throttle blade movement and protect yourself from harm. Only minimal instruments should be introduced into the Throttle Body bore because inserting tools could potentially harm the throttle valve plate. Check for deposits inside the Throttle Body bore as well as the throttle valve plate while opening the throttle valve to examine all present surfaces. Any fluid containing methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) poses a threat to fuel system elements so it should be avoided for cleaning purposes. Use gm top engine cleaner (P/N 1052626), ac-delco carburetor tune-up conditioner (P/N X66-P) or their equivalent product to clean the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate with a new shop towel. The last step is to replace the air intake duct.
