: Throttle body cleaner...any tech?

I was watching 2 Guys Garage and saw them clean a throttle body with this cleaner. I was liquid, and it had a "daubber" on the end of it. The liquid was red I think. It cleaned real good, and it doesnt harm the TPS, etc.

Anybody know what this stuff was? Looks like it would clean the carbon off of our carbs real good.

whatever it is, i bet it costs a hell of a lot more than a can or two of aerosol carb cleaner that will accomplish the same thing.

Carb cleaner doesnt get rid of the black carbon or whatever that stuff is all inside the venturi area.

Man...I do hear a lot about Seafoam...gotta check that out!
But on all of my FI cars I always use the aerosol cans and an old toothbrush. My wife's Plymouth still didn't respond to that (too many small air bleeds), so I had to pull the throttle body, soak/brush it really well, and pin out the bleeds with a set of wires.
