Throttlebody cleaning

I've got a 2006 Tundra with a 4.7 v8 with 149,000 miles.
I'm thinking a very good cleaning is due the intake throttlebody a good remove and replace cleaning.
Does anyone know where to get the tourqe specs for the (4) 10 Millimeter bolts holding the throttlebody to the intake?

The electronic throttle bodies on the Chevrolet Trailblazers were notorious for getting "sticky" and definitely benefited from a quick spray clean every 30k miles. I'll likely take mine off and clean it as well. Thanks for the reminder!

 

I’ve never had issues cleaning mine, but I hear you should be careful spraying the cleaner into the TB as it can get the liquid spray down inside the rotating mechanism and mess up some electronics or something to that effect. If spraying directly, spray lightly and use a cloth to wipe the buildup off. Might as well get some MAF cleaner and attack that too.

 

I'm planning on taking TB off intake to clean very thoroughly.

 

It's easy . . . get some clean rags ready.
Stuff a clean one back there bfore you start . . . have at it with a toothbrush.
You can wrap the toothbrush with a rag and spray/soak the end with cleaner to get into the tighter areas & avoid pushing gunk back in there further.
Wipe and toss the rags as You go.

 

Clean and grease tps while you're at it. Maybe bypass the airpump?

 

That's how I cleaned mine. While it's off I also wiped inside the upper air intake, mine wasn't too dirty though.

 

Did you do the throttle body coolant bypass mod? Highly recommended by your boy In Escondido
