Tools Needed.

• 5/16 socket and ratchet
• CRC throttle body cleaner.
• Couple Q-tips

1. First remove throttle body plastic cover.


2. Remove electrical connector on the side of the IAC (Red Arrows)
Remove the IAC my removing the two bolts holding it down (Blue Arrows)


3. Lay the IAC down on a paper towel. You will notice it is all black on the inside.


4. Using the CRC throttle body cleaner spray the inside. Use a q-tip to rub down in the tight spots.


5. Let dray and reinstall in reverse order.

Should be pretty much the same on the 2.3 and 3.0

I would clean it every 3 oil changes. Or maybe twice a year if it is not getting that dirty.

I was going to do this today and clean the throttle body but I have a sticker on my IAC that reads: Attention Do not clean inside throttle body or adjust hard stop screw. Special coating on throttle plate and bore. So does this mean I can't clean my IAC or throttle body?

No, the throttle body cleaner is safe to use on there, it's printed on the back of the can.

From what I understand, that special coating is just some non-stick stuff that keeps whatever sticks to throttle bodies from sticking to the throttle body. Probably carbon.

Will i gain 100 horsepowers from this?
