cleaned TB and added restore
just got done cleaning my TB and was wondering how everyone else did it. i just sprayed TB cleaner and took lintless shop towels and wiped all the carbon crap out i could. i kept spraying until it was all clean coming out and had no more carbon in it. anyone else do the same or something different?
i also added that engine restore crap....just tried it out and gonna wait and see. it said i would see an improvement by 500 miles so ill wait and see then. anyone else use this stuff? thanks

i never belive in that crap adding to you your car newer works is like put some greese on your hands and try to rinse them with water you need put some on them and really scrub it of same thing with those addons to your car if you really want to clean some thing out you have to take it off and clean for real

not necessarily true

Why did you put Restore in your maxima? Does your engine have high miles with low compression readings?
The Maxima engine is one of the best built car engines in the world. I have Maxima's with 200,000+ miles that do not burn any oil or have any blowby problems. If your engine has normal compression readings, no need to use Restore.

No need to worry here, it shouldn't do any harm , but just to be on the safe side - go and change your oil tomorrow !!!
I drove 95 max 5 speed with 365K on it, the engine run perfect and it didn't need any additives.

Take the entire throttlebody off. Spray some carb cleaner in there and scrub thoroughly. This still will not get everything around the butterfly valve off. You need to take either the green part of a dishwashing sponge or very fine grit sandpapaer and scrub the throttle body with it. This is the only way to get the throttle body back to factory condition, especially with many miles on the car.
Also, you all may want to be checking out SeaFoam for engine cleaning. There are three applications: crankcase (oil), gas tank, and the intake manifold.
You all need to understand though, by cleaning the throttle body, which is about a tenth of the intake system, you MAY notice better response and idle, but def. no horsepower releases. The bes bet is a port and polish, which can be cheap if your cover is already over.
Also, I never threw any codes after doing all of the above stated.
