Hey y'all, hope you're all mighty fine :)
When a car has DBW am I correct in thinking you shouldn't try and move the throttle butterfly open? if that's the case how'd you go about cleaning it fully? :y
-
I'm not aware that you can't move the butterfly, I've done it several times on 2.2's.
See my guide.

Oh. Must have come across wrong info.
Thanks mate :y

If you can get your hands on one of those hand held steam cleaning contraptions, they and a old toothbrush works a treat :y

Thanks TG, yeah i use the toothbrush method ;)
i just could have sworn i watched a vid or read something where it said you shouldnt open the butterfly manually on a DBW. And as my ford fusion's needs cleaning and its a dbw i didnt want to damage it :)

Done mine a couple of times now by slowly pushing it open with my fingers.
Never had a problem as I always gently push it shut again when finished :)

Very productive day. Cleaned throttle body and moved it back no problem. was a bit dirty. cleaned the MAP sensor with contact cleaner also as apparently they're known to gather sh*t and set error codes/give trouble with starting....... may have something to do with the ''cage'' type housing its in ::)
