Make sure if you use anything to wipe, kleenex for example, DO NOT drop any small pieces inside if they get caught by the sensor plate.

It was mentioned that a clean engine gets additional care from the mechanic cause he knows you are merticulous in details.
Thanks
I'd like to do this
Seems easy enough

Would you have to run the engine immediately after cleaning
or would waiting a day or 2 be ok?

I try not to force anything but
Thanks for the warning about the plate

Have no idea where the throttle plate gap or bore is?
Is that the inside wall?

maybe I'll forgo the tooth brush clean but
like to do it right.

Never would use paper anything to wipe anything inside an engine
thats a disaster waiting to unfold...

Have to be careful with rags too
sometimes the edges fray.

Will this improve performace or roadability?
Seems a little soot coating shouldn;t hurt too much
unless under the flap gets really thick causing a heaviness & drag.

Thanks for the info...

mine looks pretty clean outside?
