[Shotimes] How to clean throttle body

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

I just use carb. cleaner. The TB has a coating from the factory to prevent
buildup and it can be removed by the cleaner. It does not seem to matter if
the coating is in place or not? Be sure to check the "nostrils" behind the
TB for the EGR. These build a small carbon plug as the passage enters the
manifold. Great time to clean them out. I sprayed many times but have to
manually pick the carbon out in this spot.
