take pics as you go, take your time. you'll be happy when you saved 80 bucks.


its 3 bolts and few clips and things. its easy compared to a lot of things.


if your just supper chicken. i understand.

what you can still do is remove the maf sensor, the intake tube, and the screen, then use a old toothbrush and a shop rag to reach in and clean the TB, you want to clean it as best as you can all the way around behind the butterfly flap there, (the brass plate) hold it open and clean the back of this flap too and its edges best you can. this helps but you wont get it as clean vs taking it off and cleaning it.
I am OCD,so I rater take it off and clean the whole TB or not clean it at all!! I'll try it, I might try it, I have to get the tools you where telling me to remove the air intake thing and cleaners. I got the tools for the rest. I will take pictures if I need help and post them and ask you guys any questions I have. I have a bad habit of over complicating things. I keep you guys updated. I am broke this week, maybe next week I hope Thanks guys for the help and support!
