    How do you remove the engine cover on the 3800. Do you have to remove the oil filler neck? Thanks!

    wow, yes you indeed win, maybe dumb question of the year lol. Just my 2 cents here, but if you can't figure this out, i don't think you should be into it any deeper then the cover...

    Thanks, you guys are great!

    For the record I just purchased the car for my son. I am currently out of town but know I need to clean the throttle body this weekend and was just wondering.

    The horn fluid is fine. I checked it after I changed the air in the tires.

    Mr. Clean works excellent on the TB, make sure you open it up and spray the garden hose right in the front.

    only the gtp cover has the bolt on the top. the n/a cover is just held down by a bracket in the back.
