mnstang Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
