Title: Cleaning Throttle Body
Post by Dave on Jun 21^st, 2005, 3:35pm

Guys,

I would like to clean the throttle body on my 24v. Question is this: is there a way of doing it without taking the whole "octopus" off? Can I just undo the sensor on the throttle body (with 2 screws) and spray carb cleaner down there?

Thanks

ICV is the bit on the top with 2 bolts, you can clean the t/body by taking off the front black plastic piece off (3 bolts with 8mm heads), another way is remove the hose (19mm dia) from the drivers side of the plastic bit, squirt carb cleaner in there with the engine running, work the throttle with the other hand.
