TB question

KiltedBanshees93GT · 02-29-2004, 09:47 PM

Other than the label that is supposed to be on it, is there any way to tell if I have a throttle body that should not be cleaned with carb/ intake cleaner?
Mines pretty cruddy, and i'd like to try to clean it, but dont want to risk screwing up a "non-spray" one.
Mines in pretty crappy condition, and no sticker is evident, (IIRC there was never a sticker) but I want to be sure lest I somehow have a "non-spray" one and screw it up.

Thanks
J

Use throttle body spray, not carb spray - didn't hurt mine at all.
