How to clean the throttle body properly on Chevrolet Cobalt?

First disconnect the air cleaner outlet duct to examine the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate for deposits while opening the throttle valve to inspect all surfaces. Throttle position (TP) sensors together with idle air control (IAC) valves and sealed throttle shaft bearings should never come into contact with immersion cleaning liquids and strong solvents due to the potential for damage to component seals and o-rings as well as loss of non-serviceable throttle shaft bearing grease. Avoid both wire brushes and scrapers because they can cause harm to Throttle Body parts and abstain from using cleaners with methyl ethyl ketone since this chemical destroys elements needlessly. For Throttle Body cleaning use a clean shop towel and top engine cleaner (Saturn P/N 21007129) or an equivalent product to clean the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate. Thorough cleaning of excessive deposits requires Throttle Body disassembly using a parts cleaning brush which should never touch solvents. Reinstall the Throttle Body following cleaning and replace the air cleaner outlet duct.

The Throttle Body of Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles is one of the most important units that controls the amount of the air provided to the engine according to accelerator pedal position. Siting between the air filter box and the intake manifold, there is the throttle body that has a butterfly valve which opens and closes depending on how much air is required by the engine. The connection between the throttle body and the gas pedal is either mechanical or in the form of signals and commands to the computer depending on the fuel injected Cobalt models; and the fuel is delivered to the injectors. Whereas conventional engines have relocated the carburetors to throttle bodies on fuel-injected engines the high performance Cobalt models will have multiple or individual throttle bodies for better throttle control and better air flow. The development from carburetor to elaborate throttle body is a great leap in the improvement of the engine for Chevrolet Cobalt automobiles.
