It effectively loosens and removes contaminants such as oil, resin, and glue, ensuring the operability of all moving parts and increasing the operational reliability of gasoline-powered engines. This cleaner is suitable for the intake and throttle valve area, including nozzles and holes, and is intended for use in gasoline engines only. It offers excellent cleaning effects, is simple to use, and has been tested for use with catalytic converters, optimizing economical use. Cleaning can be performed without dismantling and allows for rapid cleaning.
Application:
Create direct access to the throttle valve. Start the engine to begin cleaning. Spray the Throttle Valve Cleaner across the entire area of the throttle valve in intervals of 2 – 3 seconds at a minimum of 2,000 revolutions via the spray probe.
If the engine cannot maintain the speed with the intake pipe removed or cannot be started, disconnect the plug from the air flow meter with the ignition switched off. In this case, the stored fault must be deleted from the engine control unit after cleaning using a suitable diagnostic device, and the air flow meter must be taught in again if necessary.
If a speed fluctuation of more than 1,000 revolutions occurs during application, it is important to shorten the spray intervals. Make sure that the Throttle Valve Cleaner does not come into contact with the air flow meter or painted components.
In the case of stubborn deposits on the throttle valve, in the intake manifold or on the intake valves, cleaning can be repeated with a second can. After use, allow the engine to run for about 20 seconds at a minimum of 2,000 revolutions to burn any residues remaining in the intake system.
This guide is for gasoline engine owners seeking to maintain optimal engine performance. The Liqui Moly Pro-Line Throttle Valve Cleaner effectively removes deposits from the intake and throttle valve areas, leading to improved engine operation. A key caveat is that this product is designed specifically for gasoline engines and requires access to the throttle valve for application. The cleaner loosens and removes contaminants like oil and resin, ensuring the operability of moving parts.

FAQs
How often should I use the Liqui Moly Pro-Line Throttle Valve Cleaner?
The frequency depends on your driving conditions and vehicle. Consider using it every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or as needed to address performance issues.
Can I use this product on a diesel engine?
No, this product is specifically designed for gasoline engines only.
What should I do if the cleaner gets on painted surfaces?
Wipe it off immediately to prevent damage to the paint.
Do I need to remove any parts before using the cleaner?
You need to create direct access to the throttle valve. Some vehicles may require the removal of the intake pipe.
Is it safe for my catalytic converter?
Yes, this cleaner has been tested and is safe for use with catalytic converters.
What if the engine stalls during application?
If the engine cannot maintain speed with the intake pipe removed, or cannot be started, disconnect the plug from the air flow meter with the ignition switched off. Then follow the steps for clearing the fault and retraining the air flow meter after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Engine won't start or runs roughly after cleaning.
Check and ensure the air flow meter plug is connected if it was disconnected during the cleaning process. After cleaning, the stored fault must be deleted from the engine control unit using a suitable diagnostic device. The air flow meter may need to be taught in again.
Significant speed fluctuation during application.
Shorten the spray intervals.
Stubborn deposits remain after cleaning.
Repeat the cleaning process with a second can of the cleaner.
