Q: How to Properly Clean the Throttle Body on Buick LaCrosse?
A: Begin Throttle Body service by taking out the air cleaner intake duct. A thorough throttle position check reveals deposits within both the Throttle Body bore and the throttle valve plate when the throttle valve is fully opened. You need to clean the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate using a shop towel together with top engine cleaner (GM P/N 1052626) or an equivalent cleaning product. Use a parts cleaning brush for heavy deposits when performing thorough cleaning. Weak solutions and immersion cleaners harm electric components, sensors and seals or o-rings when used with assemblies that contain the throttle position (TP) sensor, idle air control (IAC) valve, or sealed throttle shaft bearings. Non-serviceable throttle shaft bearings can suffer damage through solvent exposure which breaks down their grease protection. Throttle Body components may sustain damage from wire brushes or scrapers while cleaners with methyl ethyl ketone should be avoided because they cause component damage during Throttle Body cleaning. You should replace the air cleaner duct as your final step.

Q: How to replace the throttle body assembly on Buick Regal?
A: Begin with partial draining of the cooling system in order to replace the Throttle Body assembly. Leave the fuel injector sight shield and intake air cleaner duct. Remove the idle air control (IAC), throttle position (TP), and mass air flow (MAF) sensor electrical connectors. Next, take off the accelerator controls cable bracket and take apart the electrical wiring harness from the accelerator controls cable bracket. Pull off the vacuum hoses from the Throttle Body, then remove Throttle Body support bracket bolts and the support bracket. Remove the throttle-body nuts and lift off the Throttle Body assembly. Clean out the surfaces of the gasket effectively without the use of solvents or sharp tools that will cause damage. For installation, set a new gasket and then tighten the Throttle Body assembly using Throttle Body nuts of 10 n.m (89 lb in). Reattach the Throttle Body support bracket and bolt it up to 16 n.m (12 lb ft). Reconnect vacuum hoses, accelerator control cable bracket, and electrical wiring harness back to the accelerator controls bracket. Connect the maf sensor, tp sensor, and nice valve electrical connectors, reinstall the air cleaner intake duct + the fuel injector sight shield. Finally, fill the cooling system.
