could someone tell me if it is OK to use regular carb cleaner to clean the gummed up throttle body or do i have to use throttle body cleaner? ALSO someone said use laquer thinner? let me know what the BEST process is to clean this.

:banghead:

As long as the carb cleaner says oxygen sensor safe on it, you can use it. I would not use lacquer thinner on it.

Also use your wifes toothbrush for cleaning , not your own ;)

the best thing ive found to use is a gum cutter called 2+2 it works on any thing and it evaporates pretty quick and it's safe on carbs and throtel bodies
