There’s something some mechanics do these days

When they spoil your Throttle Body (Injector Mouth), they will redirect the car owners to Tony Empire or other OBD Guys to adjust the RPM

These cars have Electronically Controlled Throttle Body, the Brainbox controls the position of the Throttle and adjusts rpm based on throttle pedal position and other sensor inputs

The only thing that Diagnostic Tools can do is to relearn Idling Speed and that’s if your throttle body is good

If your throttle body is cleaned, it can be relearned but most times, using injector cleaner and unevenly touching the butterfly in the throttle body will cause it to shift in position thus having high rpm on idling

The best way is, use the cleaner but turn on ignition and depress gas pedal to open the throttle then spray the cleaner

Stop using your hand or plier to open it

If after cleaning your throttle body and it’s stuck at high rpm, best is to replace the throttle body, it’s inexpensive and no adjustments are needed

You can also relearn the idling speed after cleaning the throttle body as well

It’s also important that you clean or replace your air filter immediately after cleaning your throttle body

Next time your mechanic wants to clean your throttle body, please restrict him from using his hands to open the throttle plate unless you want to buy another one

A bad throttle body cannot be relearned please

Normal Idling Speed is between 650-950 RPM

RADIATOR CAP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. What is a radiator cap?
- A radiator cap is a small but important component of a car's cooling system.
- It is typically found on the top of the radiator and serves as a seal to maintain the pressure and coolant level in the radiator.

2. How does it function?
- The radiator cap has a spring-loaded valve that regulates the pressure inside the cooling system.
- When the engine heats up and the coolant expands, excess pressure is released through the radiator cap's valve into the overflow reservoir.
- As the engine cools down, the vacuum created in the cooling system draws coolant back from the overflow reservoir through the radiator cap.

3. Its importance
- The radiator cap plays a crucial role in maintaining the proper pressure and coolant level in the cooling system.
- Without a functioning radiator cap, the engine can overheat or the cooling system can develop leaks.

4. Signs of a Faulty radiator cap
- Visible signs of wear or damage on the radiator cap itself
- Coolant leaks around the radiator cap
- Engine overheating or fluctuating temperature gauge readings
- Low coolant levels despite regular refilling
- Hissing sound coming from the radiator cap
- Steam or smoke coming from under the hood

5 Car Sensors That Control Power
Here are 5 car sensors that play a crucial role in managing a vehicle's power output:
1. Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF): This sensor measures the amount of air entering the engine. The engine control unit (ECU) uses this information to determine the appropriate amount of fuel to inject, ensuring optimal power delivery.

2. Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): The TPS measures how far the accelerator pedal is pressed. This data is used by the ECU to adjust the engine's power output accordingly.

3. Oxygen Sensor (O2 Sensor): Located in the exhaust system, the O2 sensor measures the oxygen content in the exhaust gases. The ECU uses this information to adjust the air-fuel mixture, optimizing power and emissions.

4. Knock Sensor: This sensor detects engine knock, a condition that occurs when the fuel-air mixture ignites prematurely, causing the engine to vibrate. The ECU uses this information to adjust the ignition timing to prevent knock and maintain optimal power.

5. Camshaft Position Sensor: This sensor monitors the position of the camshaft, which controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves. The ECU uses this information to determine the correct timing for fuel injection and spark ignition.

These sensors work together with the ECU to ensure that the engine operates efficiently and produces the appropriate amount of power for various driving conditions.

>>> DOES DRIVING WITH AC CONSUME MORE FUEL

On the color of smoke that comes out of your car exhaust pipe. Like the case of the WHITE smoke this simply means there is a leak from the inside of the engine and this could be cause by a bad gasket caused by overheating or holes in the engine block, Secondly the BLUE smoke this means the engine of the car need 2 be changed or overhauling you will notice a drastic shortage of oil in the engine lastly the BLACK smoke this means the engine is running too RICH and this means there is no total burning of the Air-fuel ratio in the engine so you car will stall , high consumption of fuel ,rough idling or not start at all
