Throttle Body CLEANING - Photos

[MasterSolenoid]

Removed and cleaned the Throttle Body.
46,000 miles since last cleaning / didn't look to bad.
To clean, I just used Q-Tips and Charcoal-Lighter.
Gasket was very pliable and I reused it.

Thanks for the pictures. Do you put a drop of oil on the return spring because it looks very clean also? Ed

Wow, you actually remove it to clean it.

I clean mine every 200k miles. Still don't know if it makes a difference.

Did you clean the MAF sensor? Keeping that clean seems to make more of a difference in my cars.
