Cleaning the IAC

[LOVIN MY EP3]

I'm thinking about buy a new one and replace the 5point bolts to allen just to make it easier to clean

Hey Talon, when pulling the throttle body assembly, how far do you go as far as removing sensors and brackets?
I know you have to disconnect all the sensors (obviously) but the service manual write-up isn't very helpful, LOL. It's pretty much just "Here's the throttle body; take it out".
Is it easier/recommended to disconnect any particular sensor attachments and/or brackets, like the throttle cable bracket? Or simpler just to leave as much attached as possible?

Pulling the TB tomorrow so's I can give her a good scrubbing, figured I'd ask for any last-minute tips and tricks.

There is no need to remove ANY sensor or bracket other than the IACV. Just disconnect the sensors and throttle/cruise cables and the heater lines(they will leak/drip coolant)

Good deal. Thanks!
