To clean the throttle body, first remove the air box using a 10 mm hex key; it is best to perform this operation with the engine cold. If the air box does not come off, there may be a third pressure screw.

At this point, you will have access to the throttle body. For cleaning, use a mechanical parts cleaner; if the throttle body is not particularly dirty, you can clean it without removing it. After the initial cleaning, perform another cleaning with the engine running and revving the accelerator; you can also clean the pressure sensor located on the intake manifold (use an electrical contact cleaner), spraying from a distance without using cloth.

Afterwards, reassemble the part.
