not sure what the point of cleaning the throttle bodies will do. but make sure you change your oil first! everyone says to just change it when you pull it out, but if the oil in your car isn't fresh then it's got crap in it and it's all just sitting and collecting throught your motor the whole winter. I just put mine away today. it's still freshly waxed from my detail, so i washed it, changed the oil, pulled the batter, and did the drier sheets. Also make sure your antifreeze is up to task of resisting temps. I always am sure to check mine and be sure it's safe to atleast -20.

Many people swear by this, and both cars at the 40k mile mark, it cant hurt to keep it clean. Anyways, fresh oil on both cars, both waxed, and the building im storing it in is climate controlled. Looks like im good

I don't beleive in cleaning the throtle body, especially considering its says right on it do not spray or clean with chemicals.

really? ive been reading everywhere that cleaning it is one the best at home maintenance things to do

i believe in cleaning them, i've seen many cars come thru the dealership where the throttles are sticky just because of so much build up on the bore of the tb so the butterfly is sticky, cleaning them takes care of this issue. however i'm not sure what kind of reasoning there is to doing this every year before you put your car in storage.

i just figured while im cleaning up the engine bay and giving it a real good wash i might as well since it wouldnt take long

If you can find 98 octane gas it does not have ethanol in it still and is worth putting a few gallons in for $8 a gal, also make sure you put the stands under the suspension so it doesn't sag
