I meant to say Throttle BODY not Throttle Bottle.
Also - in addition to my post, if you do take off the uim to clean it, you will see that you can't do much by soak it.
The only advantage of taking off the LIM is to clean the crud off the plates...other than that, the openings in the UIM/LIM are quite large for the volume of air required and the build up on the walls of the UIM/LIM won't even come close to restricting air flow.
There are tests you can do to see if your secondary plates are binding! With the '95 which have vacuum actuated secondaries, you can disconnect the vacuum line and manually actuate the secondary plates and physically feel if they are binding. Mine were able to move freely and didn't behave like they were binding... not sure how to test the ones that are cable actuated. But I'm sure there is some literature out there for that.
Just some more food for thought....
So in summary - I don't see any reason why to take off the UIM/LIM unless there is a problem. If you're thinking of doing it just because, I wouldn't.... do the vacuum cleaning method first.
