850 flashing check engine light, runs really rich 850 1996

No link, just common sense. That is not your present problem and will not solve your delema. Try to get your codes read, first.

The throttle body(TB) is under the black cover. There is a thin gasket between it and the manifold, so if you remove the TB, replace the gasket.

Un hook the cable to the gas pedal, remember which side the cable is on.

Take off the intake air line, the IAC air line, all of the vacuum hoses, and start unbolting the TB.

OR -

If all you want to do is clean the butterfly, just take off the air hose and spray TB cleaner on the butterfly. Use a toothbrush to get rid of stubborn deposits. Wait 10-15 minutes, reattach the air hose and start the car back up.

If the car was running fine before you left it out in the rain, then just run the engine for 10 minutes. There might be water in the filter.
