Subject: DML: Jay-cleaning throttle body
>Jay- the visible part of the throttle body above the butterfly is not
>necessarily what you want to focus most of your attention on. There
>will only be a slight amount of residue there compared to the rear
>(underneath) of the butterfly, and inside the t/b below the butterfly.
>Hold the butterfly wide open, spray down the sides past it, and spray
>the back side of it. I take a soft rag soaked in cleaner and rub
>everything as well as I can. It will turn the rag black.
> Then, just as Bernd advised, remove the IAC motor, clean off the
>plunger on it, and thoroughly clean out the passage it is in.
> It will crank and not start for a few seconds, and probably run a tad
>rough, but gas it a few times to blow it all out. You will probably
>need to help the throttle when you spray into the intake with the engine
>running. It may tend to stall otherwise.
> If this is the first time this has ever been cleaned and you've got
>more than 60K miles on your truck, I also suggest running a top-engine
>cleaner through as well (cleans of pistons/valves) Whatever you end up
>doing, you may want to pull the plugs when done and clean them. If you
>were really gooked up, sometimes it will deposit on the plugs.
