Well to do this:
Steam Clean:
Take the air hat off and get about 1 cup of distilled water and slowly spray it down the Throttle Body while the engine is running and up to normal temperature. By using the linkage bring the motor up to about 2500 rpm and very slowly spray the water into the Throttle Body. The motor will want to die but leave the linkage in the same place tell it gets back up to the rpm. Then spray it or dribble it in again, then again, then again, tell you finish using about 1 cup of water. Now you don't want to kill the motor or hydrolock it so don't pour too much down at one time. Just enough to bog it down good. Then watch all the black crap fly out the exhaust pipe!
The Seafoam is the same way slowly pouring it down the TB (about 1/2 a can). Be careful as this is flammable. Then pour the rest (1/2 can) in the fuel tank. If you do this route then you should change the oil.
As usual, use at your own risk.
