no monetary gain for me. I just know a good thing when I see it.
Also, I couldn't really claim I had cleaned it because
a) I didn't
b) the difference between driving the car before and after given a four week period between runs for me meant the characteristic changes were that much more dramatic. I never asked him to clean it, he just decided to have a look and found it was gunged to high hell.

Unplug everything connected to the throttle body, undo the bolts. Then unhook the throttle cable and it'll come off.
