Default How to Remove and clean Throttle body 2006 Dodge Caravan 3.3L

Removed throttle body for cleaning.............74973 KM
I first of all removed air filter cover..........disconnected plug
attached to rubber accordion hose...........to disconnect plug, slide
red lock slider on top of disconnect plug backwards and pull plug
out...............PS when you reconnect make sure you lock red slider.
Unscrew clamp that holds accordion air cleaner hose to throttle body
and remove hose.
1 ) Remove two throttle cables......easy.......... push throttle up
against spring tension then remove cables.
Two ( 2 ) plugs are on metal throttle body............I removed screws
that held throttle body to engine................handling throttle body
carefully because plugs and wires are still attached,..........remove
top plug by first sliding the red slider lock backwards, which is on the
UNDERNEATH side of this plug...........pull plug off.
Now the lower grey plug attached to the throttle body was a whole
different story........it took me almost an hour trying to figure out
how you separate the plug.......... it was agonizing, seemed no logical
way...........finally I got a very small screwdriver about three inches
long, with a very thin shaft 5/64 inch and slid it into the opening on
top of the pull out half of the plug..........the screwdriver released
the lock tab this plug has......pulled plug out.................throttle
body now detached.

Back of throttle body plate is smeared with black carbon, which must be
removed.
Cleaner used..............Kleen---Flo..........Air Intake
Kleen...........from NAPA ..........get 2 cans..................this
cleaner and two clean cloths.
Perhaps you may also want to use a tooth brush I did not...............I
did use my air compressor.

Spend time giving a good clean to the throttle body.
