Default Throttle Body Cleaning On JGC V-8

Let's see..... $3.99 for a can of sensor safe throttle body spray cleaner
which leaves $116.01 for labor.......

To do it yourself you need the sensor safe spray cleaner an an old
toothbrush and probably a half hour if it is your first time cleaning the
throttle body.

It would probably be a good idea to dump a can of injector cleaner in to the
gas. SeaFoam, BG44, or Techron Cleaner (not the diluted Cleaner with
Techron which will be next to it in the shelf) are all good products.

If you want to make sure the injectors are really clean you can add a can of
cleaner to a full tank of gasoline, run it until is is as close to empty as
you dare, refill with plain gasoline and run that until as close to empty as
you dare, and then repeat the cleaner a second time.
