    What's involved when the dealer says "Your throttle body needs
    servicing? I have a 96 PlymouthGrand Voyager 3.3L.

    The inside of the throttle body needs periodic cleaning. You can do a
    reasonable job by buying throttlebody cleaner (aerosol) and a small brush
    with a long handle. A more thorough job is done by removing the throttle
    body (new gaskets are needed) and then cleaning it. It's not a difficult
    job.

    Don't spray carb cleaner into the throttle body. It will migrate down the
    throttle shaft and get in the TPS and destroy it. Spray the brush and then
    scrub. Spray brush, scrub, repeat. Wipe dry with a rag. Or spray rag and
    wipe. Wipe clean with a dry rag.
