How to clean the throttle body safely and effectively on Cadillac Catera?

When cleaning the Throttle Body turn off the ignition to stop the throttle blade from moving suddenly which presents an injury risk. First uninstall air intake ducts while you inspect the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate to remove deposits before examining the entire throttle valve exposed surface. Solvents with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in them must be avoided because they can cause harm to fuel system elements. Relieve the throttle valve so you can wipe down the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate using gm top engine cleaner (P/N 1052626) or ac-delco carburetor tune-up conditioner (P/N X66-P) and equivalent cleaning solutions on a clean shop towel. Reinstall the air intake ducts then apply 3 n.m (27 lb in) torque when tightening the clamps to achieve a leak-free connection.
