how do i clean my throttle body on a 1986 rx7 sport with no turbo?

 

Well one option would certainly be to take it off and use mass amounts of brake cleaner. Be sure not to squirt said brake cleaner in an eye.

 

use throttle body cleaner..... or carb cleaner...... there really isnt anything that can be hurt.....just spray the hell out of it!! good luck

 

i just cleaned mine last night. got some "seafoam deep creep" sprayed TB down, let sit, then started car and countiued to spray while revving.

 

well a friend of mine sparyed carb cleaner all over it while it was still on the motor, now that is why i am haveing problems.

 

what?

LOL

just about every intake / carb cleaner i've ever seen has a label that says, 'DO NOT USE ON ROTARY ENGINES'.

take the intake manifold off the car, and use whatever cleaning agent you like to get all the gunk out of there. rinse it off, put it back on, and cross your fingers.

 

think the carb cleaner may have dmaged my apex seals?

 

i don't know nearly enough about rotary engines and throttle body chemical agents to make any kind of statement like that

but if a can says 'do not use on rotary engines', i wouldn't use it on a rotary engine

 

lol....one of the best ways that ive found to take carbon buildup off of a rotary engine is to suck carb cleaner through a vacuum line in the intake system!! ive been doing this for 6 years, and have never had any problems...plus, ive never seen a label that says "not for use on rotarys"

 

i have my tb taken off now and soaking in some purple power, in a few mins i am going to clean it with some q-tips and a wire bush and dry it off

 

^hope you took the tps off

 

seafoam deep creep is safe on most seals and sensors, so i dont see why it would hurt the engine, its not like its being burnt 24/7 only for 15mins max, if it takes more than that to figure out how to spray carb cleaner, you shouldn't be messing with it.

 

tps?

 

Throttle Positioning Sensor...

 

how do i check that? or tune it? when i push my pedel down i am not geting full throttle.

 

Wire brush and brake clean.

 

well i used purple power cleaner to clean it. now it is working great, i had some problems there cuse i for got to plug my TPS back in
