Default Throttle body cleaner.

What do you suggest i use to clean my throttle body? I plan to remove it but need an idea of what to look for when i go shopping for the cleaner. A soak, a spray, something else? Do i need to disassemble anything on it? Any thing I should do or look at while its off? :confused:

Get some teflon tape for the IAC or some of that plumbers stuff for the threads. Don't need it leaking air.....bad bad bad. Check your vacuum lines too and make sure the ends aren't brittle and cracked. :seeya
