pull up the intake mannifold plastic cover. it's just a clip, so nothing to worry about breakage.

loosen the hose clamp on the air intake pipe... on air mass sensor.

now you will see 4 allen screws holding the throttle valve.... remove the two screws which holds the intake pipe.

spray with good amount of carb cleaner and wipe with cloth. you may open the butterfly valve so you can clean the edge well.

you're done.
