I got 1990' 240sx and I just disassembled whole intake part for check throttle body. Then I saw some carbons on the bottom of the throttle. Is there any cleaners for cleaning carbon? I think I heard but I can't remember...any suggestions?? I appreciate it.

Using carburator cleaner will do a great job of cleaning up the throttle body.

Engine degreaser will work too.

They make throttle body cleaner you can get it at any local auto parts store. STP makes one and Valvoline does too, its like 4 bucks a can.

wildebeast spit is phenominal but I guess in a pinch you could get some carb cleaner.

Seafoam works wonders.
