I was wondering if anyone ever performed it on a 3rd generation tl. I did it on my GS it was a piece of cake. Just wondering if its easy to get to it.

 

If you were wondering that, then why didn't you post this in the 3rd gen. category?

 

Moved (better late than never )

 

i was thinking about doing this. my plan was to use MAF cleaner and spray it all over and use air to blow everything out

 

oh geez~

just remove the rubber snout from air filter box to the TB
Now with full access: spray TB cleaner or carb spray cleaner
at/onto the round 3 inch plate,,,it will be black with crud
Spray liberally- use toothbrush if needed

Use key to ON to open/close the plate in a self test - then you can spray the back and edges of it
wipe up runoff with papertowels
Dont use air pressure it it will make a huge mess everywhere!!!!!

start car and shoot more clener thru the TB with engine running- it will get the throat of the manifold where seafoaming the vac port may not reach as well
have fun!
replace all parts- make sure the hose clamps are tight- air leak means bad running
