do you have throttle body injection or fuel injection.

if you have fuel injection you cannot remove the air ducting to the throttle body with the engine running .

with the engine off only use throttle body cleaner and DO NOT USE CARB CLEANER. use a toothbrush when cold to loosen the carbon deposits and make sure you wait until restarting as this will flood the engine .

if you have throttle body injection basicly a carb with two injectors be very care full not to damage the injector wires/connections and also no carb cleaner. also clean this when cold and engine off.

air breather is the air filter box ?
