so I have a bit of throttle lag on my 2004 liberty limited 3.7l

[Mr aircraft mechanic]

so I just noticed that I have a pretty good amount of throttle lag, I was wondering if any one else has this problem and if they know how to fix it

Have you ever cleaned the intake air control ( IAC ) they can get corbon build ups.
The interior port can be cleaned with carb cleaner if its really dirty, can prevent proper air mixture,

no I have not I will have to try that

Let us know if the IAC cleaning makes a difference...

 

[Mr aircraft mechanic]

do I need a special cleaner to clean it or just soapy water

 

[LibertyTC]

Carburetor cleaner spray removes the carbon best. Throttle body cleaner is also an option.
Don't use soap or water eek.

 

[Mr aircraft mechanic]

uggg that is the last thing I want to hear I don't have carb cleaner on hand

Kindly remind me never to go flying in any airplanes you've repaired, Mr. Aircraft Mechanic

BTW, a cleaner specifically made for cleaning a throttle body is preferred over regular carb cleaner as the latter could remove special coatings that could be on the internal assembly.

On my 2004 Liberty 3.7 I removed the throttle body and clean it with throttle body cleaner and reasembled in ran 2 bottles of complete engine treatment and ran better!
