Hey all,

I'm a newbie and have very limited mechanical experience, but trying my best to learn. I was wondering if anyone could provide a detailed explanation (preferably with pictures) of how to clean the throttle body on my 92 ranger 3.0 6 cylinder. I noticed the gas pedal is slightly sticky at the start so I'm thinking there's some build up. I'm also going to swap out the IAC valve because of some idling problems I'm having so figured I'll clean everything while I'm there.

Thanks in advance!

 

~ LintFree Rag
~ SoftBrassSmallBrush or GunBarrelBrush or OldToothBrush
~ Carb\Throttle SprayCleaner (CRC or StoreBrand)
~ Remove AirIntakeTube
~ Optionally unbolt ThrottleBody From IntakeManifold for access to clean ManifoldThroat
~ Spray, let it soak for a minute or two, brush & wipe as needed
~ Rotate Throttle & clean in+outside of plate
~ Lube ThrottleCable+SheathEnds with a little SiliconeSpray
Best to also clean AirIntakeTube, MAFSensor (with MAF\Electrical SprayCleaner) & insure AirFilter+Box is clean.
You can try cleaning\lubing the IACValve before buying a new one.
Make sure you've got good seals putting above items back together.
