what is the best way to clean the throttle body on a 99 camry? i've reading through some of the forums and see a lot of people talking about cleaning the tb and was curious to how they were doing it. i have 146k miles.

::edit::

dont use carb cleaner, get throttle body spray made for fuel injected vehicles.

It depends on the amount of buildup you have. After never being cleaned for 62k miles, I did feel quicker throttle response and a smoother feeling accelerator pedal. I went all the way into the intake manifold to deep clean it and the acis as well. Simple maintenance like this dosent add power, it just prevents loss.
