I pulled the throttle body off the car, you just have to remove the intake hose, unplug 2 electrical connectors, unbolt 4 bolts, and pull three hoses off the bottom. (all this is a little hard because there isn't much space to work in, but you could have it off in about an hour.) then I just used a rag and some carb cleaner. plus I pushed the rag into the intake manifold to clean some of that too while I was at it. I wish I could clean the rest of the intake manifold though, is it really safe to just spray carb cleaner in there?
