Q - Throttle Body Cleaning
On my car I have some spray that I use to clean the throttle body, is this a good idea for the throttle body between the 2 cylinders perhaps every time one changes oil and inspects the air cleaner?

Not all sprays will remove the coating. Just look for one that is made for the newer injection systems.

I don't think it's from running rich as the injectors are behind the throttle body. I think what is happening is the breathers are feeding oil vapors into the throttle body as is intended.

Certainly hope that's not the case, I have done mine, I like the results and will most likely continue this procedure every time I do the air breather.

I used a product called ( "kleen-flo" air intake kleen ) Not sure if these products are mostly the same.
Says its safe for Throttle bodies, valves and idle air control valves and sensors.
Worked great!
