Question Cleaning the throttle body, instructions?

I'v'e been having some start-up idle (hunt) problems lately. I read that sometimes it could be the throttle body needs cleaning. I would like to attempt this cleaning myself but would kindly ask if there is any info regarding removal instructions? We cleaned the throttle body on a 944 S2 and it was a easy but not to sure about a 986. Can anybody help?

Have you tried cleaning your MAF sensor first?

Oh, and same principle applies as cleaning the S2. Pull off your intake hose, and open and close the butterfly while cleaning it out. It would be ideal to remove the throttle body from the car first, it only takes a few minutes.

Does anyone have any pictures on how to do so? Any write ups?
