If you REALLY want to ensure that you do a thorough job, unbolt the throttle body completely. Leave the hoses on there, but when you take the four bolts off, it will give you plenty of room to tilt the inner side toward you. You can also rest assured that you are not scrubbing anything into the intake.

This is the 2nd report of cold starting problems going away with the TB clean. That is AWESOME if it holds up. Kind of makes sense... at least time wise for me. My 95 started up flawlessly every winter except last year which was it's 5th year with about 55k miles on her. It probably was time for a TB clean...

Naw, I gotta work during the days and he's off plus he can fix just about anything on cars, and he will need something to do other then sleep all damn day....LOL. Hes gonna fix my sticking starter too!

the starter consists of the starter motor and the solenoid. They are part of the same unit and come out en block. There are two bolts that must be loosed, the furthest back of the two is longer and harder to loosen.

Start by loosening the two bolts going into the bell-housing.
