i was just messing around with my car today. i took off the corner lenses and said, hmmm, i should clear these today. so i did it, it went great, and they are drying as i type. i also took off the grill cuz i was gonna paint it, but i decided it wouldnt look good with a gold emblem in the middle, so anyone got a silver one that wants to trade? i then took out my air filter to see how dirty it was, it wasnt bad but i aired it out anyyways. then i took off the air intake and and thought about the maf screen. i just wanted to try it. i took it off with two knives and the ring came off in 1 second. i pulled the screen and took it for a drive. no noticable difference, so i put it back on just to be safe. i did take some pics of the inside of my TB. does it need a cleaning or is it good to go?

etheir way, the TB on my car looked exactly like that, but when i flipped it open, the back was caked up so bad it wasn't even funny, so i held it open and emptied a can of TB cleaner onto it (after you remove the MAF that is)

I have never cleaned my TB on either car. One has 136k and one has 141k miles.
What are the symptoms of a dirty TB, and what is the easiest and best way to clean it? I dont have much time to do major disassembly work.
