I removed my TB and shot it out with a can of carb and choke cleaner. It was disgusting how much crap was on and around the butterfly. The throttle operates much smoother now.

So I guess I would have to take off the Intake and spray some spray into it?
Then what, wipe it clean?

I just completely removed mine because I wanted to clean the manifold side also, then blew it out with an air chuck.
You can leave it on and spray the cleaner in until it runs out clear and wipe dry. Your car will run like crap for a min or two until the cleaner burns through.
