Throttle reving...

[KANTANKRUS]

Can this be replaced, or pulled apart and cleaned?

 

Please advise...

I take it you are specifically referring to the coiled wire portion, yes? 

 

I recently did a bored throttle body on my Renix and saw that mine was actually quite filthy with dirt and micro bunnies. So I took a try old toothbrush I've had since 1995 and got on there. I don't think it mattered but it was driving me crazy to look at while adjusting the TPS. 

 

As for taking it apart? I don't know if I would go that far. But that's just me.

Yes, I just bet mine is as bad as yours was, with filth... I am going to try to resurrect it with some sort of brush!

I imagine that if it's sticking due to corrosion, there's not much you can do aside from replacing it or the throttle body. But if it's only dirt, a good brush and maybe some sort of cleaner would help. Obviously be careful about what gets into the throttle body itself.
