Default Throttle Body Cleaning

Any good vids out there showing how to clean a throttle body on a 1993 Dodge Dakota w/5.2L V8 engine?

I took mine off and soaked it in that gallon can of carb cleaner after removing all of the sensors when I had the intake off to do a plenum kit. Otherwise just use a rag wet in carb cleaner and a toothbrush or clean wire brush to get at the visible gunk. Be careful taking the sensors off. If you have it off when done blow it off with a compressed air. No compressor? the canned air used for computers works.

Have not done a mopar throttle body, Done several GM. As said above, its a good idea to remove sensors, especially the IAC motor. Personally I always just used a couple of cans of spray carb cleaner and sometimes a toothbrush.
