I didn't even remove mine on my '05. I just got some Berryman's B-12 Chemtool TB Cleaner and put some in a cup an took a toothbrush and cleaned the outside and inside of the TB plate, as well as the inside on the TB intake as well as I could reach. Then started it up for a few seconds. Then I sprayed some (not a lot, just a little short burst) into the intake right past the TB plate where I couldn't reach and let it sit for a minute before starting it again and revving a few times to blow out all the s*** in the intake. Worked for me and less work than removing the TB completely.

I'd drop out if I had to study like this till May lol. Stay up late, get up early, class, hw, study, all work and little play. My brain probably feels like your body right now Joe. I can barely solve stuff with simple logic right now. If this went till May like that, I'd change my major to art or some s*** haha. Hopefully they'll change their minds with you at work or give you guys a few days off after awhile.

You can do that and it'll give you a better clean for sure. That's just how I cleaned mine and it worked for me. The engine just burns off all the coke and other s*** that gets sucked in anyways.

It's ok Joe. Weather is unpredictable till May anyway. Sleep is for the weak and frail. Soon you will be drinking some blue drink out of a coconut lying on a beach burning your chesticles. Lol

Is that the wiring for the throttle body in the last 2 pics? Cause that's a big, big problem if it is.

No actually it started throwing codes and would barely run, got it scanned, had 30, I repeat 30 codes come up. Some for the variable timing solenoids, mass air flow sensor, 02sensors, and a few others, most where multiple codes, I started with 02 sensors cause I had a code for that a month ago, here the harness going to the sensor got burned, one of 4 wires burned in half, other three had bout 6 inches of coating burned off, had to wait till today, got the new pigtail, spliced it in, put tb back on, started it up, same problem, wouldn't run right, checked fuse panel, replaced a 15 amp fuse, runs as good as the day I bought it, taking off the tb and cleaning it completely, along with a new gasket really woke it up
