Just did this job yesterday. Followed every step. Thanks Danny. One thing I struggled the most was the rubber grommet wouldn’t let me take out the lower air box. Other than that pretty simple. You the best. Learning so much from you.
Another great video Danny. Leaned a lot about cleaning the throttle body. Just did it on my a Acura TL it's much easier to get at but the technique is the same. Thanks!
Danny, I just happened upon your channel today. I just inherited my old 2010 Honda Civic from my dad. (I was the first (NEW) owner, and then I gave it to him when I paid it off, and now I got it back from him). I am going to start from the beginning of your Honda Civic Maintenance playlist and do some necessary updates and maintenance on it. Keep up the great work. I learned a lot so far! It's got 180,000 miles on it, so I am hoping to keep it on the road until my 11 year old learns how to drive in a few years.
Just bought a 2010 Civic LX, saw a couple of maintenance video you've released for this car and really learning a lot of the ins & out of this car. This is something im looking for. Really appreciate your taking the time to make a video for this vehicle. Thank you Danny.
Hi Danny i just check it your channel and watched some of your videos it always look great with explanation. i'm owned a 8th civic si with a 238,000 miles it still running. Thanks for sharing your video. i give you a subscribe.
I've learned a lot watching your videos over the last few weeks, Danny. I appreciate the time and effort you put into them. I do want to request a video if you might not have already created it. How to set the correct torque for the style of wrench used in this video.
Another great video Sir, Question? i heard you have to do a reprogramming did you have to do that on car and how many times have you cleaned throttle body over the life of car, and how many miles on car when you cleaned it., And are you doing a sunroof drain tube cleaning soon, thks again
I can do a sunroof cleaning video, I’ll add it to my list, as far as the reprogramming after a throttle body cleaning, I did not, the pcm will adjust it automatically eventually, however, on one of my Civics it took two weeks of driving for the pcm to find the idle sweet spot, if it’s having trouble disconnecting the battery helps, but yes a relearn is the best and quickest remedy, there is a manual relearning procedure, I’ll make a video for that in the next coming weeks
Sir Danny, is there a chance this part vibrates when you slowly accelerate from full stop? There's a vibration on my Civic FD when I start to accelerate coming from full stop, which is gone the moment my speed goes faster or of I press on the gas more than usual. Thank you!
Thanks for the great information Danny. I got one question for you. After cleaning the throttle body do we need to run any diagnostics in order to get throttle body learn how to work ? Thanks I Appreciate it.
Followed all the steps to the T, but when it came to putting the throttle body back in, the screws weren’t catching the thread so I got a new problem now
Wow that's a lot of work to remove everything needed to access the TBody on your Civic. I'm glad I have a 2010 Accord V6, it is much much easier, and nothing to remove on mine.
Working on a Honda Civic 2006 ex everything in the video is perfect I just had a question about the carburetor there are two black aluminum pieces where you screw all 4 screws pieces does the vehicle need them or no ?
1. Find your colour code on drivers door. 2. Get a few cans of your car colour mixed up single stage. 3.Paint the entire panel 2-3 coats 4. for best results use 2 part 2k clear coat. 5. Wet sand buff.
Hey Danny, Would it be bad to turn the ignition key to the first click “accessories on” and have someone hold the gas pedal down to open throttle body and clean that way so you don’t have to press throttle plate with fingers ? And cleaning it without completely removing the throttle body, unbolting it like you did
I’ve seen several videos but you were the only one that removed the 2 panels at the top in the beginning of the video which saves time and effort, the only concern is that is it recomienden to open the throttle body by hand while you clean it since is electronically operate it? Thanks.
if you are uncomfortable with doing this by hand you can plug it in and do this by pushing the accelerator pedal down, that works too, however you will need to clear code afterwards
I have a question, Danny After following your video on changing my ATF fluid and filter in my Honda civic Ex 2010 it has come to my attention my rpm’s aren’t matching nor shifting correctly how they were before I did the change… any tips? What could have happened?
On one of my Civics it was fine and the other it took about 3 weeks of driving to finally learn where it needed to be, the computer will adjust it, it usually is within a few minutes, but sometimes it’s days
@@dannysdiygarage was this civic fine? i heard you can have the car relearn it by revving the engine to 3k rpms and holding it there for 3 mins upon start up!
I am not sure why you decided to remove the entire cowling other than to film it easier. I have performed this service twice on my Civic and didn't see the need to remove it.
After completely clean the throttle (idle control valve), do you need to "relearn the system"? Take it to dealer to reset the rmp or let me idle for 15 to 20 minutes? Mine rpm is low as 600 rpm. It makes the car little shake when idling. Thanks for your help.
Yes, I did learn something! Thank you for making these for us gen 8 Civic owners!
Appreciate you Adam
you have 8 civic sheeesh😲 I only have 2 gj

I plan on cleaning my Sis throttle body but wonder if the mounting gasket will need replacement after the cleaning.
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia, y me gustaría que hiciera un vídeo enseñando como reprogramar el cuerpo de aceleración, gracias
Thanks again Danny, very good videos. I have a 2008 Honda Civic, and your videos have helped me a lot. God Bless.
appreciate you buddy. 👍
Thank you Danny! I so appreciate your attention to detail with explanation!
@@donsternberg3600 thanks for your support
GREAT camera shots/angles!!
Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate that
Excellent video Danny! Thank you! My Honda throttle body needs a good cleaning!
Appreciate your support
I really enjoy your videos, can you do one for loose steering? I don't know if its bushings or the whole rack I need to do.

The next video I use my tongue wrench in, I’ll do a step by step on setting up the torque wrench 👍🏼

Thanks for your great videos on civic, just bought a 2007 here in Norway, love it, how often should we do this clean and why?
90,000, unless you’re having idle issues
@@dannysdiygaragele agradecería nos enseñará como calibrar el cuerpo de aceleración 😢
Thanks for the shared knowledge and experience, Danny.
Sir Danny, is there a chance this part vibrates when you slowly accelerate from full stop?

Do a relearn, I have videos on this
Followed all the steps to the T, but when it came to putting the throttle body back in, the screws weren’t catching the thread so I got a new problem now
I don’t understand, you stripped out the bolts?
Wow that's a lot of work to remove everything needed to access the TBody on your Civic.
I'm glad I have a 2010 Accord V6, it is much much easier, and nothing to remove on mine.
It can be a bit of a process on some models. Thanks for watching!

You can do that, careful of your fingers
@ great point! Thank you!
Removing the top cowel is genius to get clearance because it’s a pain to remove it without doing that
I’ve seen several videos but you were the only one that removed the 2 panels at the top in the beginning of the video which saves time and effort, the only concern is that is it recomienden to open the throttle body by hand while you clean it since is electronically operate it? Thanks.

@@dannysdiygarage thanks Danny.
Dirty throttle will result in positive or negative short trip fuel reading?
Nice demonstration.
Thank you!
Thanks for the great video.i've got to do the same for my civic mk8 2008.
I do appreciate you commenting, thanks for your gratitude
Thank you Danny, do you have to do a idle relearning.
Yes, there’s a manual procedure, I thought I linked it at the end of the video, I have a recently posted video on it on my channel
@@dannysdiygarage Yes, you are right. My Honda accord 2004 is eratic sometimes. I will follow the procedure. Thank you for your responds.
does the relearn work for hands civic 2013 lx
Yes
I have a question, Danny After following your video on changing my ATF fluid and filter in my Honda civic Ex 2010 it has come to my attention my rpm’s aren’t matching nor shifting correctly how they were before I did the change… any tips? What could have happened?
Did you use the correct fluid, and how many mile are on your vehicle?
Does anyone know the oem honda # for the o ring gasket?
Did you put a new gasket on it?
no, I used the same gasket
@@dannysdiygarage Did you do the idle relearn after replacing
No, I didn’t need to
So you disassembled all all of that to half heartedly clean the throttle body?
Yes
What’s is good to clean this with?
There’s a link in the description
Thank you Sir
You’re welcome, thanks for the support
What are the symptoms of a dirty throttle body?
Can a dirty throttle body cause the car to stutter when accelerating and will even stall ?
Yes clean it then do idle relearn
was the idle running high after this? no idle relearn after this right? gonna do this for my civic soon.
On one of my Civics it was fine and the other it took about 3 weeks of driving to finally learn where it needed to be, the computer will adjust it, it usually is within a few minutes, but sometimes it’s days
@@dannysdiygarage was this civic fine? i heard you can have the car relearn it by revving the engine to 3k rpms and holding it there for 3 mins upon start up!
Yes, disconnect the battery for 10 minutes, then reconnect, there is a manual relearn, it doesn’t always work, sometimes you just need to give it time
I am not sure why you decided to remove the entire cowling other than to film it easier. I have performed this service twice on my Civic and didn't see the need to remove it.
Try it next time, it’s sooo much easier
Agree removing this is the best tip I’ve ever seen for clean the throttle body
very good
Appreciate it
Grasias
Appreciate that
After completely clean the throttle (idle control valve), do you need to "relearn the system"?
Take it to dealer to reset the rmp or let me idle for 15 to 20 minutes?
Mine rpm is low as 600 rpm. It makes the car little shake when idling. Thanks for your help.
There’s a manual procedure, I’ll upload a video on it this week
@@dannysdiygarage Cool. Thank you.
