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
