Question How to clean the throttle body??????

Question: My 94 Legend has an irratic idle at start up after being warmed up. I was told the throttle body needs to be cleaned. I will remove the throttle body tomorrow and clean it, but what is the best way to clean it? Also, could it be something else other than a dirty throttle body? I checked the vacuum lines, and they all seem to be ok. Any thoughts? Has anyone cleaned the throttle body before?

Here is what you need to do.
1)pick up TB cleaner and gasket
2)remove throttle cables, coolant lines, etc from TB
3)remove bolts holding tb on
4)turn the Idle adjustment screw all the way in (count the turns) then remove it
5)remove idle adjusment screw
6)clean all of TB expecially the hole the idle adjustment screw came out of
7)replace idle adjusment screw to tight and back out to where it was
8)clean gasket area and replace gasket and reinstall TB
9)Hook up Coolant hoses, Throttle cables, etc
10)Adjust idle adjustment screw until the car idles at 650rmp
DONE!

Let me know if you need more info!

Later!
