Do I have to take out the TB if I want to clean or can I just do it while it’s still mounted?  
Also, does the FSM mention anything about the TB? I couldn’t finding anything in it…

you can just push the flap open and clean it like that, taking it off is easy too, involves removing 3 vacuum lines and losening 4 bolts.
