Hi, does anyone know where these 2 are located in a variant 2? Has anyone cleaned or removed the throttle body before? Planning to do mine. Can enlighten? Thanks!

air flow sensor usually after air filter housing and idle control valve is at the throttle body itself.

remove ur air intake pipe (either OEM plastic pipe or ur aftrmarket metal pipe) thats connected to ur throttle body. buy a gd quality carb cleaner. beware those that leave so-calld protective film. coz may foul up ur sensors. acccidentally used 1 on mine b4. so had 2 redo double wrk.
den jus start ur engine n spray e cleaner directly onto the inside of ur throttle body n butterfly valve while remebering to rev the engine so it wnt stall. spray til u feel dat the inside is shiny enugh. use a torchlight 4 dat. n voila u r done. easy
DIY difficulty level 0.1 out of 10.
no need 2 remove throttle body. cleanin like this once a yr. gd enugh.

dats jus after ur throttle body norm. can use e same carb cleaner spray. jus ensure e cleaner u buy has a indicator sayin dat its save 4 O2 sensors will do.

Bro Ace, what brand of carb cleaner did you buy which is safe to use? And, after spraying the throttle body did you use a rag to clean in between the butterfly plate?
