i want to clean my throttle plate but im nervious because of the location can anybody help me and send me a video please help me tschay

 

Remove it from the car and then clean it. Problem solved.

 

whats happening is its hesitating on accalerating it has 108000 miles on it do u think cleaning the throttle plate is the problem?
thanx tschay ps is there anything i can add to the oil to help remove the sluge before i change it

 

Why other type of regular maint. have you done? Plugs, air filter, position sensors etc. Have you done the ignition key, 3 off-on-off-on-off-on to see if you have any codes possibly? Hesitation can be a number of easy fixes we've all had them here


don't add oil cleaning agents to remove sludge it will just swell the seals a bit and eventually start leaking from them, best advice is regular oil changes.

 

got u about the additives. i have done no other engine maintenance. code p1684, i think that is always there what does that mean thanx tschay

 

Clean the throttle plate is not very likely to fix your car hesitating problem.

 

p1684 can a be a few things, like if the battery cable was disconnected to clear other codes which never helps. Only pull the pcm/fuel pump fuse to clear codes after repairs or just do simple pcm resets.

P1684 means the PCM has lost power while the car is off. Your battery posts may be corroded or a battery wire may be losing it's connection might check post cable for corrosion & your grounds too.

 

It sounds like some new spark plugs and wires are in order, to me anyways. The plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles and the wires every 60,000. How to remove sludge? Either do a few oil changes rather close together, or if that doesn't work, try some Auto-RX. Do you know why it has sludge built up?

 

Because someone swapped in a 2.7 from an Intrepid

 

no i dont even know if it does. Just its got 109000 miles i want to get it before it does get buildup. i will get new plugs and wires never thought of that thanx tschay
