Just finished cleaning my MAF and TB. The TB was dirty and gunked up as hell, it took a while to do it. Well worth the outcome though.

wanting to do the Seafoam treatment soon, just gotta get the time and the spark plugs
 


If you ever can snag up an '04+ car on the cheap with starting issues...that is 90% of the time the issue...and everyone over looks it that is why, since it is free...I always suggest it to anyone having issues there first.
 
Yup...I used electrical cleaner or brake clean...whatever I happened to have lying around...it worked

there is a rubber gasket on the TB, if your careful and dont mess with it too much i will be fine, i re-used mine. I just tighten the bolts down pretty good, be carefull though Ive heard of some people breaking them

He has an L36...plastic intake manifold vs. your aluminum one...so you've got a little more play since yours is stronger than his
 
i even used engine degreaser to clean mine the first time. used brake kleen the last time and it worked better. yea blue ive been lookin for an 04+ with that problem. havent found in my area yet. i shoulda cleaned my upper intake when i had it off when i did my lim but didnt. its pretty nasty too.
 


I decided not to clean mine now because I bet Paul already cleaned it cause He pretty much cleaned anything he thought needed it
 
Well...if you havent installed your intake yet...when you yank it all off...check it by opening the throttle blade.
