Cleaning Throttle Body

[992door]

I was going to clean it in the tahoe and was wondering should i take it off or just clean it with it on it? i was looking at it tonight and opened it up and it is black in there should i clean it?

I say take it off NOT that hard to do...three bolts and you can efficiently clean and dry it w/o worrying about anything getting into the manifolds and ***** shit up.

On the 96-99 vortec the EGR sits on the front of the motor between the a/c compressor and thermostat housing. Clean it and by a new gasket with a screen on it from your autoparts store to help keep it clean. If you need help pm me.

Do you have to take the egr valve off to clean the tb?
