Throttle body maintenance

[sydsider66]

Gday.Can any of you blokes tell us if theres a procedure to cleaning the throttle body of the 3.8 VS wagon? Would you use a carby cleaner or is there a specific cleaner? Thanks.

pull it off the car and remove the tps (or any sensor) and clean the crap out of it with carby cleaner or smiler than let to dry and re fit.

i like to get an old toothbrush and scrub them around the butterfly etc and also clean the end off the irc (idle air control) and clean the hole it sits in

There's a "how to" which covers the VR which is similar to the VS and should give you some help:
