don't spray anything on the throttle body unless you have the coatin safe...There a plastic coatin in the throttle body, if thats gets messed up the car wont run right.....3M makes a throttle body cleaner which is safe to use..

I get the bg stuff for 12 bucks. It includes the throttle cleaner, gas cleaner, and fuel injector cleaner. The difference between the gas cleaner and fuel injector is that you have to hook the fuel injectors up to a special pressure wash machine. It's a dealer item.
