Default Cleaning the intake/throttle bodies

wassup,

I just replace the filter on a shortram intake for my B18c1 motor. i was thinking of bringing to a shop to clean the inside of throttle bodies,its $70 for the RUN RITE cleaner including the labor,they will clean everything including the inside of throtlle bodies.. is it worth doing this? or should i just clean it myself.. i know that its kinda dirty already....

Just do it yourself with some carb cleaner and a SOS pad. It's very easy. If your map sensor is mounted on the TB, plug it or remove it though. Have some extra coolant handy. Get a TB gasket ahead of time. Check the torque specs.
