4 Bolts right there were he was spray. Remove the 4 bolts, take the throttle body off, and clean it with throttle body cleaner, and a soft toothbrush. The throttle body will then be clean, no junk inside the intake causing a lot of smoke, and it will idle properly again when done.
Might need an idle reset after disconnecting the throttle body on Trailblazer/Envoy. After 2007 there's some extra stuff they put in that made it even more complicated (so I read). Also read there's a DIY way to perform an idle reset using a pedal/ignition combo and doing a bit of highway driving.
I find it hard to believe he has cases of this stuff and he doesn't know the difference between a throttle position sensor and the throttle body. Then later he claims to not know the price of a can of the stuff. If he bought cases, you would think he knows how much the stuff goes for.
I keep getting the evap solenoid failure or stuck open code, I've replaced it three times. Every time I replace it, it works for a few months then does what you're talking about. If the AC is off it's fine. Solid idle, if I turn the AC on it dips and rises, dips and rises, espically coming to a stop sign or light... It's embarrassing especially in the car line at school haha. Will have to try this
Yea, it's like what, 4 or 5 bolts and 5 minutes maybe? This guy is just crazy. Take off the throttle body and skip the pricey foam. $2.99 carb cleaner, half a can.
JayzBeerz.... Actually by doing what he did and with what he used may very well have helped remove some carbon buildup in the intake, valves and or cylinders. I also think that Amsoil have a much grasp on the technology than you or I!
So that's how they do special effects smoke screens and fog in the movies. For someone whom claims to do this often, I watched intently and I could not see where you actually sprayed sufficiently into the very forward part of the throttle body. However, even with that (appearance) to lack of attention and application, I likely would have begun as you did. Spray and Soak for 10 minutes, Re-spray and and use a nice tooth brush to work around both the throttle body and plate. Spray again and let sit for 5 or so minutes and then start the vehicle and burn off!
I have noticed everyone comments about taking the throttle body off! Heck! I am in this situation because AAA spryed cleaner though the plastic cover and called it good! It was running perfectly and smoothly before having them "fuel system" fluid change! After, I had to take it back! The manager offered nothing! And left the assistant manager holding the bag to deal with an irate customer! So if this shop is getting away with it, by just spraying it into the throttle body while attached. Are other shops really taking it off?
Depends on the service. If you had a fuel system cleaning they won’t remove anything and hook it to an evap line in the intake. If you have an actual throttle body cleaning it usually gets pulled off and cleaned on a work bench.

I have an 06 Chevy trailblazer that shimmies when I come to a stop but only with the ac on. Will this possibly help stop that? Could the O2 sensor be bad?
This video was just advertising power foam guys never clean the throttle body like this guy did all that crap getting sucked into the engine. Do it right take the throttle body off and clean it right or just spray in with brake clean and wipe it up with a towel

He makes a statement that all they did was spray a "little bit" of foam.... Actually no, it was a whole can! And the proper thing to do would have been to remove the throttle body and clean it rather than letting all this crap get run through the engine... That's not the way to do this job. Additionally he Throws around numbers of how much the can cost and then And then says he doesn't know What it costs.... But yet in the beginning of the video says he has cases of the stuff, And yet he doesn't know how much it costs,...???
you really should take the throttle body off of the car to do this! all qf that shit you are cleaning off is going into your cylinders and valves sensors!!!
Clean your MAF, MAP; Remove TB and clean on bench. IF it's the TPS, a new TB will be needed. Abt. $140 @ Amazon. I've been thru all this. 2008 Envoy SLE.
Wait he has "cases" of this cleaner but doesn't know how to clean it properly? F this guy for releasing a highly excessive amount of chemicals into the environment.

I already did it and the problem continuos tha samev😮
This fluid may damage the coil insulation. Better to remove the throttle body for cleaning.

THROTTLE BODY, NOT TPS... FOUR BOLTS KEPT YOU FROM DOING IT RIGHT

No kidding. Easier just to do it right. Plus you won’t have to worry about throwing a check engine light for o2
Just 4 bolts and you could remove the whole throttle body. The bolts are right there.

laziness take the throttle body off and spray it down with choke cleaner and wipe it off. you don't want that deal getting in your engine.
I agree 110% with you!! LOL That would put more carbon in you hole system of you engine AND your muffler and pipes! Right? LOL

Hydrolock?
JayzBeerz so true .

You fired, automatic weapons. New subscriber.
Brooo! Take that thing off an clean it
Ya i took mine off and got a toothbrush in it
This stuff may damage the throttle body coating. Use throttle body cleaner for this task.
it is throttle body cleaner
I know I probably sound dumb asking, but throttle body cleaner is okay to use as well right? Same stuff?
So that's how they do special effects smoke screens and fog in the movies.

Do not do this!! Take off throttle body and clean with throttle body cleaner with toothbrush

Where can i find those green locking tab on the wire harness, I lost mine. Thanks for the video sir.
What's that doing to the catalytic converter ?
No Favors.
Boi...your gonna tear somebody car up....
Can i use my 2003 Old mobiles bravada, with Amsoil Power Foam for Throttle Body Clean like how you show?

I cannot find any parts store around the Raleigh NC area that carries this product, how can I get it?

Anybody know what the wire harness on the driver side of the back 2 coilpacks go to? If i tap mine it kicks on my reduced power light...
But wait...where does all that foam go? Inside the engine?
I have an 06 Chevy trailblazer that shimmies when I come to a stop but only with the ac on. Will this possibly help stop that? Could the O2 sensor be bad?
It's not shimmying it's put putting because she needs her throttle body cleaned.
This video was just advertising power foam guys never clean the throttle body like this guy did all that crap getting sucked into the engine. Do it right take the throttle body off and clean it right or just spray in with brake clean and wipe it up with a towel
You're not afraid of messing with anything. I was making faces wtf!!

Why does it idle like a diesel engine
Spraying the whole damn can?
At least half.
He makes a statement that all they did was spray a "little bit" of foam.... Actually no, it was a whole can! And the proper thing to do would have been to remove the throttle body and clean it rather than letting all this crap get run through the engine... That's not the way to do this job. Additionally he Throws around numbers of how much the can cost and then And then says he doesn't know What it costs.... But yet in the beginning of the video says he has cases of the stuff, And yet he doesn't know how much it costs,...???
Gracias me atudo bastante
Next up... o2 sensor check light coming on
Was it nessary spraying the whole can in a small area if less half of power foam doesnt do the job why waste money
Well and now my suv is too. Ummm wow probably should have just took it off and cleaned it like i was gonna do.
you really should take the throttle body off of the car to do this! all qf that shit you are cleaning off is going into your cylinders and valves sensors!!!
since i replaced my throttle body i would want to spray the IAC secondary control valve with this if i can find where its located...
Hydrolock?
Lol the technicalists 😂😂😂
Tried this it still stalls just not as fast. What do I do now?
Clean your MAF, MAP; Remove TB and clean on bench.
IF it's the TPS, a new TB will be needed. Abt. $140 @ Amazon.
I've been thru all this. 2008 Envoy SLE.
That's not the throttle position censor
guess I need to do this
You’ll be doing that in a couple weeks again doesn’t last that long
All you need to do is clean it. This is the worst advice. Their is a relearn procedure.
what to do in diesel vehicle ?
Is same job .
My envoy died when you turn the heater on
Wait he has "cases" of this cleaner but doesn't know how to clean it properly? F this guy for releasing a highly excessive amount of chemicals into the environment.
You should not spray so much a towel useful
Take the throttle body off u could of hydrolocked the engine 😅😂its like 8 bolts total
More advertising annoying
Power Foam Baby
This is RIDICULOUS - remove tb FOR EASY CLEANING W cARB CLEANER = proper
Looks like sea foam
What not to do video.
Mannn might be bad
😨
