I took mine off and cleaned it with carb cleaner. Just make sure you cover the electrical connection. | |

| There are other things, but I'm willing to bet you dont have that laying around either. If you make it out to the mod night we can help you do that. In the mean time you might want to order a catch can. | |

You can use brake cleaner too. Take the throttle body off the car before you clean it and only wipe it with a rag. Use your finger to open the valve, dont use anything hard or made of metal because the throttle plate scratches easily. You will need a 4 mm socket wrench with a small extension to remove the 4 bolts holding the throttle body on. | |
