Was trying to figure out how to properly clean a throttle body on a 2000 Dodge Dakota quad cab

Not much to clean on any throttle body,just an
aluminum machined casting & may have some
deposits on it, but that isn't going to be your loss
of power issue.

You can spray it inside with CRC Throttle Body
Cleaner,the instructions are on the can.

Have to go thru the entire engine testing as you go,
assuming all preventative maintenance has been
done, if time & mileage warrants such work

Don't throw parts at it
