Is my throttle body clean? Is this even the throttle body?

Looked at that cleaning throttle body tutorial so I opened mine up, I dont know, I dont think mine looked so dirty.




Here is a general pic of my engine area - 3vz - fe

Yes this is your throttle body. You have a little bit of rust going on, but that's not a huge deal.

Get some SeaFoam Deep Creep and a toothbrush and clean it anyway though!

and be careful with the straw, sometimes it'll shoot off from the spray

Alternatively use throttle body cleaner with a toothbrush. Ensure the can says safe for sensors.

It can be difficult to start the car after you're done cleaning and it may stutter, but keep at it and it will start.
