ok you dont want to use Brake Cleaner or Carb Cleaner to clean a Throttle Body.\nThrottle Bodies have a protective coating on the bores that the Brake or Carb cleaner will strip off, Throttle Body cleaner isnt as harsh.\n\ngo to the parts house and purchase a throttle body to intake manifold gasket, go home and remove the throttle body and clean it on your work bench with the aerosol can on the TB cleaner.  get in all the little passages etc.\n\nreinstall with the new gasket.

should be on the throttle body.  Either on the linkage or directly across from the linkage on the otherside of the throttle body.

No, it does not damage the throttle body. If you need to get work done on your car under warranty, just take it off.

Get it really clean 1 time and then just do a little by little every day and then you won't have to spend a large amount of time on it. Cleaning sucks I know.

What I have found is best is that you can remove the ball by twisting the bottom plate, and use alcohol & a q-tip. Just dip the q-tip in the alcohol, shake off the excess, you dont want it to drip, just to be moist. Just gently rub the grime away. Always use alcohol, due to the fact that it evaporates very quickly..... Done deal! \n\nAfterwards, you can also blow out the mouse with air can, like the others described. It will work well to remove the loose dust, but wont get rid of the grime.

You MUST clean off all the old oil and crud first!\n\nGo to your local bike shop and buy a citrus-based degreaser and a chain/cogs brush (or use an old toothbrush). You'll also need some 'pipecleaners' - lengths of thin wire covered in white cotton.\n\nApply the citrus degreaser liberally to all oily bits - chain, cogs, derailleur etc. Work it well in using the brush. Join two or three pipecleaners together and use them to clean thoroughly between your cogs and in all other inaccessible places. Apply more degreaser as necessary until you know you've done a good job. You'll see the old oil and crap just dripping off everywhere (so don't do this in the front room).\n\nNow hose down everywhere you just degreased. This is very satisfying - you'll be left with a sparkly clean setup.\n\nDry it in the sun (or with your sister's hairdryer) and apply the new oil. In summer use a dry lube, in winter a wet one.\n\nFinal tip - join two pipecleaners together at one end, wrap them around the axle of your wheel and join the other end. Repeat for the other wheel. You now have self polishing axles. You'll never need to clean in there again!

Use silicone,just make sure it is clean and dry,and then wait at least twenty four hours before putting gasoline in the tank.It worked for me,except it wasn't a Nissan Maxima.

I find TuneUp Utilities to be better than C-Cleaner for registry cleaning. C-cleaner is free, but you can try TuneUp Utilities free for 30 days to get a good cleaning in.\nhttp://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities

Try cleaning it with bleach.. If that doesn't work, just buy a new seat at your local home center.

First off let me say, DONT DO THIS AT HOME!!!!\n\n1. Put vehicle in 1st gear (D1)\n2. Put foot on break and hold. \n3. Press gas all the way down. \n4. Let off foot from break when you get to like 4000 rpm. \n\nShould do a burn out as you say. It will also rip apart your transmission pretty quick. It could also cause you to have a very bad accident. You could die or kill others.

A few good ones that are also easy,  and don't cause permanent damage:\n\n1)  When someone you know has a new car--or even an older car that they're really crazy about--go to their driveway at night,  and pour Diet Cola under the car...right below the engine.  Use at least two cans.  In the morning, it won't be fizzy anymore,  and they'll think their car is leaking LOTS of oil.  (BTW,  use diet, not regular...otherwise you'll have a swarm of ants)\n\n2)  Take the roller-ball out of someone's computer mouse,  and replace the ball with something else  (like a few M & M's).  When they eventually open the little compartment where the ball goes,  they'll be surprised.\n\n3)  send this to their email,  preferably at work:\n\nhttp://www.liquidgeneration.com/content/a55hat.aspx?cid=567\n\n...or find another,  similar thing to send.

Run it empty with one cup vinegar.  That should solve your problem.
