Club Lexus Forums - View Single Post - MAF Sensor and Throttle Body Cleaning DIY: GS400 & GS430

Notice how dirty the throttle body is upon opening the valve. You push in the top portion of the valve, and it swings open. You will need to WIPE clean the deposits off the throttle body and valve with a cleaner soaked cotton towel(s). You will need to wipe and rewipe to get it clean enough to do the job. I wouldn't suggest spraying the cleaner directly into the throttle body as you won't be able to wipe it all off. Wear gloves when you clean the valve and throttle body or you'll get some very dirty hands.
