You remove the intake pipeing and spray it into the throttle body...

i bought the s**t cheapest throttle body cleaner from supercheap.

Done the best job out...

1) Remove Intake pipes etc
2) start car & let it warm up for a few minutes
3) get someone to keep car revs at around 3500 - 4000 RPM
4) spray the hell out of the throttle body (up & down left & right)
5) keep spraying even though it sounds like it will stall
6) after around 1/2 to 3/4 of a can your inlet & TB should be like new again.
7) use some cleaner in your ISC as well.

i followed the instructions on my carby & TB cleaner can, clean engine cold, then start, then spray more, all it did was flood the engine and stalled the car :? . gonna try round two this weekend with someone pressing the accelerator pedal while i spray, damn i miss good old fly-by-cable. stupid electronic throttle is s**t and never should have been invented.
