Yup, those nifty little straws that come with a can of throttle body cleaner... DO NOT use those. I had been a fan of them myself up until today when i learned a very scary lesson. In the middle of cleaning the TB the straw comes off and shoots straight down inside the intake.
Tried used a 4 jaw picker type thing and it worked up until the straw flipped out and went some where that I could no longer see. Then I had to remove the TB, and used a 5hp shop vac and that finally sucked it out.
I love those straws, but for cleaning a throttle body while it is on the jeep, IT'S NOT WORTH IT. Especially if your like me and using a toothbrush along with the spray.
