2000 Chevrolet Corvette Throttle Body Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to clean the throttle body safely and effectively on 2000 Chevrolet Corvette?

  A: Proper cleaning of the Throttle Body starts with disconnecting the air intake duct under a turned-off engine to avoid injuries from throttle blade action. Inserting tools into the Throttle Body bore must be avoided because this can damage the throttle valve plate. A thorough inspection requires the throttle valve to open so technicians can examine the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate for accumulated deposits. Any solvent with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) should never be used because it damages fuel system components. Use a clean shop towel with gm top engine cleaner (P/N 1052626) or ac-delco carburetor tune-up conditioner (P/N X66-P) or equivalent to clean the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate. Place the air intake duct back into position after completing the process.
