I don't have any pictures but here's a walkthrough:
1)Remove the black cover from the top of the engine.
2)Remove the large black air supply hose from the throttle body. You will need to use a long screwdriver to loosen the clamp, then you'll need to work it off.
3)Now the throttle body is exposed. You can clean it (I use a rag) and move the butterfly by hand.
4)You can use a rag to soak up any excess cleaner at the bottom of the intake manifold under the throttle body, but this isn't really necessary.
5)Put everything back together after you are done and start the engine. It may hesitate at first but once cleared everything should be running much smoother than before.
It's not much different than cleaning any other throttle body out there except the lack of a throttle cable or linkage to pull on to open it while you're cleaning. Also spray a little lubricant on the throttle arm and springs.
