Hi all ,Is it a normal maintenance to clean the throttle body bore, if so is it good practice to remove them for cleaning, ie crap sucked into motor, also looking to add a fuel system cleaner to tank, any recommendations to what werks the best

I've never cleaned a throttle body bore, or had to.

They do make a spray specifically for cleaning them.

There's often an idle air control system with the throttle body and associated air ports.  I would think that would be what would need cleaning, if anything.

I would definitely take it off, you don't want that cleaner going through your engine and causing damage.
