Here is how you remove the throttle body:




Open the hood.

Put the oil cap and extension back in place.



   
Unplug the IAT sensor.




Undo the clamp at the airbox and remove the air intake hose.




Unplug the MAF and TP sensors, and the IAC valve.




Disconnect the EVAP vacuum line.




Remove the throttle cable bracket (2x 10 mm bolts) and
disconnect the throttle and cruise control cables.




Remove the throttle body support (1x 8 mm bolt), slightly rotate the bracket towards the front
of the vehicle, remove the throttle body bolts (3x 10mm), and remove the throttle body.




Admire how dirty the intake manifold is.



   
Admire how dirty the throttle body is.



       
Throttle body cleaned up. I didn't take pictures, but I removed all the sensors and the butterfly and cleaned everything thoroughly.




Back together.
