    I'm Pulling the throttlebody to clean it to see if this is what is causing the car to stumble and die. Is there anything I need to know before I start like having it set in a certain position or anything?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    So I went ahead and cleaned my TB on my 05'GTP, here are a few pics.

    It's really easy to remove and has a reusable oring gasket. There is a water passage so note that.

    Of course, I was thinking more of what the gearbox should look like. The inside was very clean. I figured everyone knew what a dirty TB looked like. Sometimes I start typing and get distracted and leave out most everything I was going to say.
