Safe Throttle Body Spray
I don't have the specific answer, but there are two kinds of TB spray out there. One is safe for the polymer(plastic) coated TBs that is becoming more common. The old sprays will dissolve the polymer which will lead to quicker gumming up than TBs that are still protected.
The spray can should tell you if it is safe for the polymer coated TBs.
The following brands have worked for me in carburetor days but I cannot say whether they are polymer safe. Gumout, Mechanics, STP, JB and probably a couple others. A wild guess would be any Big name brand will probably be safe.
Good Luck,
