94 voyager stalls on turn

Hi to all:

I have a 1994 3.0L Plymouth Grand Voyager that will stall
intermittently when turning in cold weather.

I've seen a few posts regarding cleaning the throttle plate.
If this could be the case, what needs to be done to get to the
throttle plate? Should it be cleaned with a solvent?
For someone that can change oil, brakes plugs, and general
maintenance, is this a job that can be done with relative ease?

Thanks for the help,

Cleaning the TB is a good idea, even if it's not your problem. It doesn't
sound right for a dirty TB to cause a problem only when cold, only in a turn
and only intermittently. But FYI it is an easy DIY job. A couple of hose
clamps removes the intake hose from the air cleaner to the TB. Remove
connectors from TPS and IAC. The throttle cable and transaxle linkage remove
quickly from the TB. 2 nuts to take off of the mount studs and it's in your
hands. Buy a spray can of Throttle Body cleaner (not carb cleaner).

 

Thank you Mike!

Also there is a gasket between the TB and the manifold. If often is brittle,
and stuck to both surfaces. It will often break when you pull the TB if it's
been on there for a long time.
