I was watching this video on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX5J5...eature=related) And was thinking of a similar way to clean the throttle body. Would it ruin anything if you drilled a hole into the intake hose and added some sort of port where you can open and close it and hook up an external hose and spray carb cleaner into the throttle body while the engine is running?

I doubt it'd ruin anything but how effective would it be? You'd be better off just removing the TB and hitting it with some cleaner and a brush.

Remove the intake tube, and clean the TB manually with a cool TB cleaner (I use intake kleen and deep creep (areosol seafoam) and a toothbrush.

Then run 1/3 can of seafoam engine treatment into the intake (Brake booster line, or on the 3vze the middle vacuum line on the throttle body). Run another 1/3 can in the intake after you do the first treatment, dump the rest in the gas (or use on another vehicle)

Then run some redline injector cleaner!

redline is near impossible to find here. Just spent today looking for some.

I like the idea of an intake cleaner valve. Seems technical and cool. Plus, the fluid getting sucked in could clean things a toothbrush couldnt reach.
