Throttle body clean

Ray-ISF · 2017-10-10T10:45:15+0000

Had some time on Sunday so decided to take the airbox and intake off to have a look. Cars just ticked over 89k miles. There was carbon build around the bottom and top of the throttle flap, not a massive amount but noticable as attached. Cleaned out with carb cleaner. Checked the MAF sensor which was clean no real build up but gave it a spray with electric contact cleaner. Removed positive Battery cable before I took it apart and reconnected after I finished to reset the ecu. Improved throttle response and car feels smoother overall. Only took about 30mins.

  Wide-ranging upgrades have strengthened the appeal of the Lexus UX 300e, the urban crossover launched three years ago as Lexus’s first all-electric model. These revisions enable the UX 300e to go further between charges; raise the cabin’s aesthetic appeal, comfort, and convenience; and make the car – Lexus’s “Creative Urban Explorer” – even more enjoyable to drive
