Toyota Camry / RAV4 / Celica / Solara I4 5SFE - Throttle Body & IAC Cleaning

This video will show you how to remove and clean the throttle body on Toyota vehicles with the 4 cylinder 5-SFE engine typically found on the older model Camry, RAV4 and Celica. Over time, the carbon buildup can make the throttle body plate "stick" resulting in engine response lag, the plate opening too much or too fast and erratic idle. Since the Idle Air Control valve (IAC) is attached to the bottom of the throttle body, removing the throttle body gives us the opportunity to clean this component as well. A stuck IAC valve will result in a too high or too low engine idle, rough idle and engine stall during warm up. The carbon build up is the result of PCV and EGR gases being sucked in or injected into the intake manifold and backing up against the throttle body's throttle plate and components. To reduce carbon buildup, you can install an aftermarket oil catch can. Here's a video where I installed it on this same car that I did the throttle body cleaning. It did improve the idle, eliminated engine knock and better engine response on the highway: https://youtu.be/CXure6_MyZM If you'd like to make a donation to the channel, please follow the link below: https://paypal.me/HardlyMoving?locale.x=en_US Specialty Tools: Toyota Camry, Avalon, Solara, Lexus ES 300, '97'01 (Haynes Repair Manual) https://amzn.to/34wmbXJ Clip Removal Pliers https://amzn.to/39hz5HS GearWrench Hose Pliers https://amzn.to/2OHkTjC Gumout Carb & Choke Cleaner https://amzn.to/2OHF4xT Di-electric Grease https://amzn.to/2OFCQ28 3/8" Phillips Bit Socket https://amzn.to/38e0Z7B As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
