Throttle Body Cleaning
I presently have the throttle body off the supercharger. I remember seeing in a thread somewhere and am unable to locate a post that said something about avoiding contact with some part in the throttle body when using throttle body cleaner. Can anybody advise me what that part is and where it'* located?

Unbolt all the sensors and soak it in gasoline overnight. Then, scrub the barrel with fine metal brush. Once out of the gasoline, rinse it with water. Once it dries, install all the sensors. It'll look like new.

tb cleaner is a lot better and more expensive than gas...well not sure anymore LOL.
still cheaper I think.
MAKE SURE YOU TAKE THE MAF OFF.
it is the squar looking one it says MAF or mass airflow on it I think. it is the big one. big plastic box with 3 screws
do you have a chiltons or hayes? they are helpful

Well I took them all off and wouldn't you know it. On that last screw I noticed it was tight and went really slow.......bam, it broke and not enough thread left to grab onto. Anyone know what size it is cause, I'm going to have to drill and rethread. I think it'* about a 8/32 NC? I don't seem to be having much luck with this Bonne. It'* the 95 SSEi I'm working on right now. 
:(

Hang in there! The 95 is a good car and once you finally get past all these kinks you won't regret it!
Not sure on the size, but if you haven't figured it out by tonight, I'll get it to you.

Don't worry about 1 broken screw. I broke 6 on my 88 S10 Blazer. The 6th finally got me mad. I broke the 2 on the TPS, and the 2 holding the Dist cap down, and the 2 on the ignition module.
