hey guys i was doing routine matinence on my car a few days ago like changing the oil and dusting off the filter and stuff and i noticed the tb was really carboned up on the butterfly and behind it.
i have some valvoline air intake and tb cleaner and i was wondering if i have to take off the tb or leave it on the car?
and is it ok to spray it in the intake manifold to clean it up?

Seafoam DeepCreep. Just take the bellows off the front of it and spray it down good.

so it wont hurt the sensors in the tb?
do i leave it sit at all or just spray it and start the car?

Nothing will get hurt if it says "for throttle bodies"
I'd take off the TB anyways, just so I could clean the back easier. Its like 3 bolts, 1 clip and 2 connectors.

thanks taco i read your write up and good job on it.
i jusy wanted to make shure i dont hurt the sensors or any thing.
i dont think im going to seafoam the car i just want to clean out the tb and intake manifold so ill get the deep creep.
will the car want to stall when i start it back up?
and do i leave the deepcreep sit?
thanks again taco

Are you confusing Throttle Body with MAF?

shaun

nope lol

as long as it's throttle body cleaner you'll be fine. of course, clean just the throttle body into the intake manifold, not the maf. if you use brake cleaner on your throttle body or something, then you're asking for it seafoam deep creep should work fine.

i picked some up at advance last night and i might use it later.
oh i had one more question.i was reading the can of deepcreep and it says its the same as seafoam just in spray form. can you spray that in the booster hose or is it better just to get the can of seafoam?
my car dont smoke at all but there is some carbon build up in my exhaust tips.
thanks again taco

Ha! Wait till you Seafoam it. You will be blowing out black water for the next 3 days.
