I have an 07 SC, I want to clean the TB. Does anyone have pics of the process?

Thanks

 

you dont really need pictures...

what do you need help with?

 

some degreaser and a micro fiber, then some compressed air to make sure all the fluid is out of the TB.

 

I have an ingen (sp?) intake right now. I want to clean the TB due to idle bouncing...

From what I read, it was not hard. What do you recommend to clean it with? and then how do I clean it? Do I have to remove it from the car or can i clean it still attached? If I remove it, is there a gasket that I need to replace?


thanks

 

You need to remove it.

There is no gasket to replace.

Carburator cleaner from autozone or what ever works just fine.

Looser gunk sprays right off... use a rag (less lint the better) to clean off the other stuff..

Be careful of the butterfly (the metal flap in the TB) as to not hurt it by being too rough.. but you can lift this to get to the areas that need cleaning.

 

here is a picture of mine cleaned

 

brake parts cleaner works great on just about everything..also make sure u clean around the rim of the butterfly and hold the throttle body so that no cleaner even carb cleaner runs to the sensor.

 

Thanks guys, so I dont need to completely remove my ingen.. just the clamp that holds it to the TB?

And you polished yours? any advantage to that?
