Open manifold to clean buildup?

Open manifold to clean buildup?
Clogged pcv valve i neglected. Lotta carbon buildup in my intake, backside of throttle body. Is it good to split open the intake and clean everything then reseal it? Ive seen a few guys do this for various reasons but some say its a waste itll just get carbon buildup again. But mine looks pretty bad. I figured its probably best to get it cleaned out then of course replace pcv valve right? Or is it a waste of time trying to get the buildup out?

Moreover, if the pcv is old non-functioning OEM, now would be a good time to replace.

im not at home atm to take pic but looking into opening where throttle body was removed it looks like a solid coating of black chalk on everything. Backside of throttle body is coated pretty good also. And yea i attempted to replace valve but it broke off so im gonna get the rest out when i take off the cover

Just be careful if you attempt to clean both sides of the throttle body not to manually move (like with a brush or something) the TB butter fly valve.
Your DBW throttle position sensor will not like it & issues may present themselves.
Make sure to have enough and let the carb cleaner chemicals (cut the grime) do the work for you.

All I know is that with DBW TB's it's best to avoid the TB butter fly, in terms of manual movement, when cleaning.
I found the below procedure for some guidance from the 07-08 TL service manual.

2) Starting @26:55 minutes, watch how ETCG cleans the TB.
a. Listen carefully to what he says @27:04 minutes!
If you mess up DBW throttle sensor position, in your TB by moving the buttery fly valve, you may need the below procedure or its aftermarket equivalent to reposition it for a proper idle.
