02 X Type 2.5L Sport Manual Cleaning Throttle Body
 
So since I have a manual I was experiencing low RPMs or the car would turn off in neutral or when downshifting. I looked up the possible cause and came across cleaning the throttle body. Looked at some videos and decided it wasn't that difficult to tackle. To my surprise unlike the vehicles I had seen with this process being done, my vehicle had an electric flap so I went back to some new videos and found out that I had to remove the part in order to clean it. Taking it all apart was very simple and really glad I did because I had lots of deposits on the back side of the flap that I wouldn't have reached from the front and all it took was removing the 4 screws that hold it on, removing the air sensor and unplugging the 2 plugs on the throttle body but I left the 2 hoses attached to the throttle body and put a towel under the loose part and went to town on it with the throttle cleaner and a tooth brush. Put it all back together, took it for a test drive and my problem was solved. Hope this will help someone.

What did you use to clean it? Brand etc?

What type of cleaner...
 
Not sure where you are from but we have advanced auto parts and I talked to one of the guys there and they recommended one made by CRC throttle body and air intake cleaner. Hope it helps.
