Nissan Grand Livina Throttle Body Cleaning Malaysia
Grand Livina HR16DE throttle body carbon deposits build up at 60,000–80,000 km, causing rough idle and hesitation at low speeds. Cleaning service: spray cleaning without removal is the basic option; full removal and clean with throttle body cleaner is more thorough. Always perform idle relearn (adaptive idle reset) after cleaning — skip this step and idle will be rough after cleaning. Malaysia's stop-start traffic and short-trip driving accelerates throttle body fouling.
