Whats the best way to clean the throttle body on a 1990? Should I remove this or can it be cleaned on the car? Carb cleaner?

Hello.
The best way is to remove from the intake and soak it in carburetor cleaner, Dont forget to remove the TPS sensor an Idle control unit before soaking.

I just used carb cleaner and it really helped out alot. I know that if I took it off it would have been even better but I was short of time. Next time I will take it off though!!:cheers:
