Default Throttle Body

I need to clean my throttle body and all of the idle speed controllers.. What is the best way to do this without breaking everything in it and just end up have to buy a whole new one. Or is it just easeier to just buy an entire new one.

Liquid Wrech works good on stuff like that. Spray it and let it sit for an hour, wipe off excess, and then remove. If you're using a wrench, be sure to use the box end or you'll strip them out. Also, two are nuts and two are bolts. So, you'll have to spray two nuts (haha) and two bolts (opposite sides or the nut heads).
