Is it safe to clean the throttle body on those with low mileage, and what precautions should be taken during the procedure on Chevrolet Corvette?

Deposits can build up on the rear of the throttle valve plate over a long time and mileage, caused by egr gas, which may impact the throttle valve movement; therefore this cleaning procedure cannot be recommended for cars that have their mileage so low, up to 80,450 km (50,000 miles). Before starting, always make sure the ignition is off so that there is no sudden movement of a throttle blade that may lead to personal injury. Begin by pulling out the air intake duct being careful not to stick any tools in the Throttle Body bore so as not to cause damage to the throttle valve plate. Check the bore of Throttle Body and the throttle value plate and the need might arise to open the throttle value to check all surfaces. Do not apply any solvent which contains methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) since it can damage the fuel system components. Clean the Throttle Body bore and throttle valve plate with clean shop towel and proper cleaning material, gm top engine cleaner (P/N 1052626) or ac-delco carburetor tune-up conditioner (P/N X66-P). Finally, reinstall the air intake duct.

The Throttle Body is an essential unit of the intake system of Chevrolet Corvette, which controls the air, which flow is required into the engine. This consists of butterfly valve which opened and closed depending on the accelerator signal from the driver so as to control the air inlet accurately. In fuel injected Corvettes, the throttle body is linked to the gas pedal by a mechanical or electronic link, with, newer models employing a 'drive by wire' system that talks to the ECU to fine tune fuel delivery. Through the years, responses to the Corvette hardware have been done in throttle body design where some accurate ITBs or individual throttle bodies have preferentially been applied in high performance Corvettes so as to improve the responsiveness of the Corvette throttle and the airflow throughout. The moving from standard carburetors to sophisticated throttle bodies has made a big change in the abilities of the engines, which has helped to progress the car industry.
