No problem...
The IAC is connected to the back of the TB by two Torx-25 screws. Once you
remove the TB (you can't give it a good cleaning while mounted), remove the IAC
and clean out the port with some TB Cleaner and a soft rag. Also, spray some
TB Cleaner on the actual IAC plunger (but do NOT turn it)...just wipe lightly
to remove the carbon buildup.
As for the TB itself, clean out ALL of the ports with the sensors removed. MAP
port being an important one to clean as well...just don't forget to remove the
sensors before using ANY TB Cleaner on it.
To remove the TB, there's four bolts, the throttle linkage, and the connectors
for the sensors (three of them). The throttle linkage plate can be removed via
the three 5/16" bolts that attach it to the TB.
Also, don't forget to clean any residual gasket material left on the manifold
(cover the opening with a small rag to keep the stuff from falling in there).
