throttle body cleaning

[kevera]

I was wondering what was the best way to clean my throttlebody.I think it's carboned up so would removing it be the best way,or just spraying some cleaner on it still bolted to the engine,is there any areas to pay attention to.If I take it off,what do I have to worry about,throttle cable any suggestions.Thanks

Not sure it is the best way, but i usually spray a small rag with throttle body cleaner and wipe out the insides of the body. Quite frankly, it comes out looking a lot cleaner, but i can measure any difference with my seat-of-the-pants dyno. Maybe it is because i clean mine often enough that it doesn't have a lot of carbon build-up.
