Hey Guys.... My Land Rover dealer found injectors dirty/clogged and throttle body dirty and both of the services are recommended, After searching how do to this procedure, It looks like cleaning the throttle body is not as hard as it sounds. I'm pretty good with my hands and doing things in my car, I will leave the injector services for the dealer to do it, but I would like to save some cash by doing the throttle body myself.... I have not being able to find someones that has done it in the LR3... Is it too hard? what is the best way to do it? ANy tips?

Thanks for the help>>>.

 

the service the dealer sells you includes the throttle body cleaner. the bg performance package includes 44k, the injector service cleaner which needs the right equipment plus shop air, and some cleaner for the throttle body. Most of the time the throttle body doesn't cause issues except for MAF sensor code 0102. But just make sure the technician cleans the throttle body. Don't overdue it. The lean codes 0171,0174 are caused by the injectors if no vacuum leaks are fine.

 

1) Remove engine cover.
2) Unplug plastic wiring plug on the TB.
3) Unscrew fastener that holds the air duct to the TB.
4) Unscrew 4 screws holding TB in place (Very visible and accessible).
5) Remove TB and gasket. (Make sure to disconnect the two small rubber hoses attached to TB).
6) Now take TB aside and clean it thoroughly with the SPRAY CLEANER and a lint free cloth. Make sure you open a close the butterfly inside the TB while spraying it. Use the lint free cloth to remove the gunk that was not removed by the spray itself. Wet the cloth and clean the mouth of the TB receiver in the engine.
Once the TB is crystal clean, mount it back USING THE NEW GASKET and reversing the steps above.
