If your going to take the throttle body off, you might want to buy a new gasket just in case it breaks, and while its off take the tps off before cleaning it..2 phillip screws hold it on..other than that soak it down and clean off with a towel a few times, i just did mine 2 weeks ago

i was actually meaning the cleaner that you spray in the throttle body while its on the car. you spray it in when the car is running.
