FAQs
How often should I use the Liqui Moly Pro-Line Throttle Valve Cleaner?
The frequency depends on your driving conditions and vehicle. Consider using it every 10,000 to 15,000 miles or as needed to address performance issues.
Can I use this product on a diesel engine?

What should I do if the cleaner gets on painted surfaces?
Wipe it off immediately to prevent damage to the paint.
Do I need to remove any parts before using the cleaner?
You need to create direct access to the throttle valve. Some vehicles may require the removal of the intake pipe.
Is it safe for my catalytic converter?
Yes, this cleaner has been tested and is safe for use with catalytic converters.
What if the engine stalls during application?
If the engine cannot maintain speed with the intake pipe removed, or cannot be started, disconnect the plug from the air flow meter with the ignition switched off. Then follow the steps for clearing the fault and retraining the air flow meter after cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Engine won't start or runs roughly after cleaning.
Check and ensure the air flow meter plug is connected if it was disconnected during the cleaning process. After cleaning, the stored fault must be deleted from the engine control unit using a suitable diagnostic device. The air flow meter may need to be taught in again.
Significant speed fluctuation during application.
Shorten the spray intervals.
Stubborn deposits remain after cleaning.
Repeat the cleaning process with a second can of the cleaner.
