throttle body cleaning 850 1997

Use carb cleaner to remove the gunk. WD 4o is a vegetable oil based lubricant which may combine with the gunk to make it worse. You want to disolve and wipe away the gunk. Pull the throttle cable line attached to the drum to open and close the throttle plate. Use a clean rag to wipe of the gunk. If you leave the gunk on your throttle it will cause the throttle plate to stick (not a good thing). It is difficult to screw this job up.
