Do it on any car really. I think you got to take it off and hose it down with TB Cleaner. Dont get the Maf sensor wet or anything. You can also do the TB mod if you feel super freaky

Take off sensors and what not before you spray anything on it.

Take it off and remove all the sensors. All of them.

Soak the whole assembly in a coffee can of gasoline. Use a toothbrush or soft bristle brush to lightly scrub away the carbon. You can also work the carbon off with your fingers. That'* what I do. Works very well. Let it soak in the coffee can for an hour or so too to let it loosen up.

Good luck...
