Just gettin ready to clean my TB and wasnt sure if there was a certain kind of cleaner to use. Ive heard some people say just use carb cleaner and then Ive heard some say to use a special kind from the dealership. Sorry if this is a repeated question. Take Care

 

Im getting ready to clean mine too. I have some carb choke cleaner can I use this? The guy at nissan said he didnt have any TB cleaner and didnt know if it mattered what was used. He just said If I use the carb choke cleaner not to spray any electrical connectors. Do you guys think its safe to use the carb choke cleaner on this? I thought I remembered emax saying he used carb cleaner. Sorry for rambling, just lookin for help. Thanks

 

But Turbo magazine said that they've used brake cleaner, at least on their project MR2. I wouldn't recommend trying it though, without finding out exactly what kind they used first.

 

I use Gumout brand Air Intake & Throttle Body Cleaner. On the front of the can, it specifically states, "Won't remove protective coatings."
