help with 93 sl2 problem

I'd clean the throttle body. This is a very simple procedure and would cost you less than $2.00 for a can of the required Carb + Choke Cleaner. That and a rag are all the required supplies, a screwdriver (to loosen the air hose's clamp) is the only tool required.

If you want more information on this, I (or many others in this group) can supply it.

I've had the same problem on different cars (including my 92 SL2) and this has fixed it every time.

Make sure to use throttle body cleaner, not carb cleaner.

Really, Mike? Why? My mechanic said carb cleaner was okay. What's the difference?

I have a 94 SL2 Automatic

I was wondering how to clean out the fuel injected part outta my car??

Thanks

You will get many answers to this question.

First off I would try a bottle of Techron at double the strength that the bottle recommends. Saturn told me that 10 years ago and it does a great job.

I have actually also used Carb Cleaner, but am told that the contents of throttle body cleaner are specifically made not to damage O2 sensors and Cat Converters. Apparently there is something (at least in some brands of carb cleaner) that may harm these units. No personal experience from me, I've seen the warning in several various places.

thanks for all of the replies, and I will try to do a throttle body clean this weekend if it ever stops snowing. kallita
