Has anybody ever had success cleaning the throttle body, 2006 RX330?

Yes sir. Good practice after about 125K miles. It is a bit of a job as you have to remove the entire assembly, but can ease some idle troubles if you have any.

my dealer suggested it at 30 and 60K I finally did it at 90K, the engine is smoother and I have better fuel economy. it was not that expensive at the dealer, and I think they clean the injectors too

I plan to clean mine when I remove it during spark plug change. I'll take pics and report back.
