SO my truck just turned 50k, and had a horrible winter.. I am thinkin about cleaning my TB, is it time to? i dont know much on this subject and hows the best way to clean it? i tried to search it but for some reason this site kept on saying try reloading it in 1 second, and it did it for like 10 minutes lol so i said **** it and posted. THanks Dudes

 

It couldn't hurt to clean it out. Pick up some non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner and a rag. You have to take of the intake and then there are 4 bolts holding it in place. Just hose it down with the cleaner and wipe it clean with the rag. just make sure to calibrate the tps when you're all finished.

 

yea I'm sure the 4.7 guys will come in and give you some tips. But yea, hose it down good with the brake cleaner and git er all shiny again.

 

Thank guys for the info, now calibrate the tps? i have no idea wat that is lol sry

 

TPS= Throttle Position Sensor. Im not 100% sure if that needs to be calibrated. I do know that its is not necessary on the Hemi throttle body.

 

^^ thanks dude, if it does need calibrated how do i do that

 

If I'm thinking of the right thing you just turn the ignition on (don't start it), slowly press the pedal to the floor, hold it there for 10 seconds, slowly let off the pedal, then turn off the ignition.

 

He has a 4.7 engine.

 

I'm not sure if you need to do it with the 4.7, but the hemi def needs it if you were opening and closing the valve while cleaning it. You just turn the key to run without starting the motor and once all the lights go out slowly press the gas pedal all the way to the floor then let it all the way back up. When I cleaned my TB the rpms would jump up real quick and then fall really slow, recalibrating fixed it right up.

 

ight thans dudes, if it works with the hemi, why wouldnt it for the 4.7?
