throttle body cleaning
Called dealer the other day and talked to the service manager and asked him the procedure for cleaning the throttle body on a 91, TPI and he stated to use 2+2 gum cutter, with the engine running, like the old carb cleaning procedure we use to do. I asked if it would do any harm and he stated ,no harm. So I am asking for other suggestions from the form was the service manager correct? Thank you

You should remove the TB and IAC motor pintle and do the job properly.
I use Valvoline Synthetic TB cleaner, a large plastic bowl, some shop towels and a toothbrush.
You can check the C4 TechTips Section on this Forum for the how-to info.
Really mellows the base idle and improves throttle response, too.
