Motorvate's DIY: Use any ODP app/scanner to see how dirty your throttle body is

MotorvateDIY · 08-20-2018, 09:06 PM

Use any OBD app and scanner to see how dirty your throttle body is without opening the hood or getting your hands dirty.

This episode is the result of almost 3 years of data collection using OBD Fusion's diagnostic report. This report allowed me to see the slow changes that occurred over years.

Ye, i use my rpm at full stop to know.

(The the engine will dip in to low rpm range 500 and then jump up every time you go to a complete stop)

Yeah my RPMs were dipping too at stops. I cleaned my TBs on the weekend and now I have a steady ~700 RPM idle again. Cool tool to check on them, as they seem to get dirty after 30k or so.
