should you start the car before the cleaner has a chance to dry or should you let the carb cleaner dry as much as possible first?
thanks

Best way to clean the throttle body is to remove it, then you can clean and wipe from both sides and work the throttle. Do not disconnect the electrics if it is TCS.

I don't see any harm in spraying cleaner in w/ the engine running, just don't put excessive amounts as Marrk commented.

If you want to clean further downstream as well, run a can of Seafoam thru a vacum line while runnig; last Kodak meet in April the resulting smoke clouds were entertaining.
