Throttle bottle cleaning

**Epic69** · 06-06-2005, 12:50 PM

I searched posts and see folks mention cleaning throttle body, but no how-to's. what is the procedure for doing this? I hear talk of seafoam and sucking it into the throttle body but how do you do that? vacuum hose where is that? Thanks for any help guys.

i just removed my air cleaner and slowly poured the seafoam into the throttle body while holding the revs at 4-5K

the vacuum hose it hooked up to the stock airbox. It should be the biggest of the 3 hoses on the rear of the stock airbox. If you have an intake it is most likely the one that is hooked to the exhausted air feed tube on the intake pipe itself.
