87 Camry question about what kind of cleaner to us

[hardyrxp]

Hello there,
I have a 87 Camry 2.0 5 speed and have a question on what kind of throttle body cleaner to use to clean the throttle body? I ask this because the car is so old and there are many kinds i.e. Deep creek sea foam, throttle body cleaner, and many others. Please advise me on the best one to use as I am afraid of using a brand/kind that might damage the IAC unit. Thanks for your help in this matter.

Just use any "throttle body cleaner". "Carburetor/Fuel Injector cleaner" would probably also be fine, but is a bit harsher. Stick with the former if you're worried.

Not familiar with the motor, but if the IAC is separately removable, I would remove it and clean it with electrical contact cleaner, while cleaning the throttle body out with the IAC off.

Try Sea Foam Deep Creep, works real good

A careful manual cleaning is best.
Don't just spray some stuff down the tube.

Hello there,
I did both manual and spraying down holes a lot. Seems to work better now a [censored] load of white smoke though too much spray I over did it....

The best TB/Carb cleaner I have ever used was Berryman B-12.
