94 C280 Throttle Actuator removal & cleaning help

[sjsfiji]

Hi All,

Can someone please advise on how to remove and clean the throttle actuator. I was advised to replace it, but figured I'd try cleaning it first and see if that solves the CL "idle system malfunction" code P0505 (NOTE: car w/o ASR). I opened the hood and it's pretty tight. I believe it's at the driver side of the engine bay, but not sure where or how to get to it.

Please include Dos/Don't and what solvent may be used.

Thanks....
