    Best way to remove carbon, grease on my throttle body.

    Should I drop the parts off at a shop with a parts cleaner? Is there an easy way to remove the carbon, grease and dirt?

    Use throttle body and intake cleaner. It comes in a can like carb cleaner but DON'T get carb cleaner. I used it on my T.B. and it took off all the grime off it.

          An old toothbrush would also probably work tho I'd shoot the brush with the cleaner first just to make sure its not going to melt the plastic.
