Thread: Cleaning Throttle Body 04-GP

yes, its meant for the MAF and its not as harsh. throttle body cleaner has a big chance of destroying the MAF.

Considering your experience level I wouldn’t even think about removing the throttle body as was suggested earlier, it really isn’t necessary. Just take off your intake tube, and unplug the throttle body wire harness. Then use carb cleaner to spray it and then wipe it down a few times. Be aware the “back side” of the throttle body valve will be the dirtiest. Just hold the valve open with your finger, and spray down the back side. And to finish it off, put one drop of light machine oil on each side of the pivot. Actually there is not much to it at all, you would have to really try to mess it up.
