If your 2006 Chevy Cobalt has over 30,000 km or 15,000 miles the throttle body will need some cleaning. When cleaning your 2006 up Chevy Cobalt you must do it correctly or you could do some harm to the throttle body or the settings. The actual cleaning part is easy to do, you just need to know how to do it. To clean your throttle body ONLY use throttle body cleaner, not carburetor cleaner. I recommend CRC Throttle Body Cleaner as it will not remove the stock throttle body protective coating, which helps to reduce the black gunk build up you usually see when looking into your throttle body.
There are two ways you can clean the throttle body. The first way is to actually remove the throttle body and then clean it, or the second way, which is to leave it on the car and clean it. If you have never cleaned your 2006 Chevy Cobalt throttle body and it now has over 100,000 km or 60,000 miles, it might be best to remove it and thoroughly clean it. Our 2006 Chevy Cobalt has just over 38,000 km, so we are going to leave it on the motor to clean it.
Some tools and supplies you will need are:
Flat Head Screwdriver
Soft bristle toothbrush
CRC Throttle Body Cleaner
Pliers
Rags
You start your 2006 Chevy Cobalt throttle body clean by removing the oil fill cap and the plastic engine cover (put fill cap back in place) Then you remove the plastic piece that attaches to the throttle body by removing a plastic clip on drivers side, then loosening the clamp that attaches to the throttle body again on drivers side, then loosening the clamp to the air cleaner assembly, then using your pliers remove the rubber hose clamp that attaches to the motor (clamp closest to the motor) on the passenger side. Now you can just lift off the plastic air intake piece from the throttle body.
Before you begin cleaning your Cobalt throttle body make sure the vehicle has no key in the ignition. Now take your toothbrush soak it in throttle body cleaner and lightly scrub away the black gunk inside the throttle body. To get between the throttle body and the throttle body butterfly valve, you just push the valve open with your finger, but only just a crack, just enough so the toothbrush bristles can get between and clean no more as may change throttle body settings. Now just wipe all clean carefully with a clean rag. You may have to spray some throttle body cleaner onto your rag and wipe all a few times. Do not spray the throttle body cleaner directly into the Cobalt throttle body.
After all is clean you can re-assemble what you removed. You should clean everything inside and out as you put it all back in place. This would also be a good time to check your air filter and replace if necessary. It would also be a good time to remove your mass air flow sensor from the air filter assembly and clean it with mass air flow sensor cleaner (spray inside it to clean the wires), Do Not clean it with carburetor cleaner or throttle body cleaner it could harm it, use only mass air flow sensor cleaner.
After all is clean and back in place, start your 2006 Chevy Cobalt and let it warm up and idle for about 15 min and you are done.
