Cleaned the throttle body

Last night i went to autozone a bought a can of throttle body cleaner. That stuff works wonders!!! all you have to do is disconnect the hose on the left hand side of the intake manifold right before the throttle body and run the engine while spraying the stuff in there. my car runs/idles like new! just thouhgt i would share that with everyone

so you didn't take any of the air intake parts off to get at the TB?
would that be enough of a clean? or would it be better to pull the intake off as per craigs website's instructions?

You can get it alot better if you actually take it apart and do it like on Craigs site.

The spray stuff works okay, but nothin beats your hand actually scrubbin the stuff off. Spray cant do that.
