I give my 12xe a coat of carb cleaner on the butterfly, cleaned the bugger right up! | |

I've always done mine still on the car tbh, it doesn't need to be minty mint so I usually hold the butterfly open, give it a good spray, quick wipe round with a rag and job done. | |

Idle Control Valve isn't cleanable, sealed unit on the X10XE's. Has already been replaced with a brand new Bosch one from AutoVaux to no avail. | |

If your spraying it in while the cars running, give it some revs. | |

What part is the butterfly? The bit that actually moves and opens the whole up when you press the throttle? | |

its best to take it off the car to clean. however, depending on the carb cleaner, you can just spray it on a rag and wipe down near the butterfly. You can spray it into the throttle body and it shouldn't harm anything. IF YOU DO ANY OF THIS TURN THE ENGINE OFF FIRST, DO NOT TAKE ANY AIR PIPES/HOSES OFF WHILE ITS STILL RUNNING! | |
