Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Throttle & EGR Cleaning Malaysia
Diesel throttle body on the 4N15 collects EGR soot over time, causing rough idle and hesitation in city traffic at 100,000+ km. Throttle body and EGR cleaning are often done together on diesel vehicles. EGR cleaning removes the thick carbon deposits from the EGR valve and intake passages. City-only driving dramatically accelerates soot buildup compared to highway use.

Pajero Sport Throttle & Fuel System Clean
- Diesel 4N15: throttle body cleaning every 40,000 km — EGR recirculation can deposit carbon on the throttle butterfly
- EGR valve cleaning is the more critical service on a diesel — a severely carbonised EGR valve affects idle quality and power
- Diesel injector cleaning (ultrasonic) recommended every 60,000–80,000 km for common rail systems
