Let's start over......
I've always sprayed down the inside, then some on a rag and wipe down what you can making sure to NOT touch the wires, then spray the wires with a few shots. Always worked well for me. Just don't touch the wires, they're touchy suckers.
BTW for those who care we had two 2010 Range Rovers show up today for sale, one already sold today, both were equipped with the new 5.0L 4v and one of them was supercharged.
Here's a link to their website's FAQs. You'll find information on this near the bottom of the page. http://dygytalworld.ehost-services139.com/php/FAQs.html Of particular note (to me) is, DO NOT just spray solvent into the thing. Take it out and clean it "manually". Keep solvents away from any plastic parts. Bill suggests carb cleaner or lacquer thinner.
There was supposed to be an "anti-gunk" coating on these surfaces that you're supposed to protect, but, once it's become "gunked", I can't see that it's doing anything for you. I wouldn't worry much about the coating.
I think I read somewhere that Ford makes a special cleaner that protects the coating, if that is a concern to you.
Hope this saves you a spark plug change!

TB cleaner.
The gunk in a TB is mostly blow by oil that has hardened and penetrated the metal surface. The gunk in a carb is gasoline deposits, blow by gasses, oil and is generally baked on at higher temps because it is closer to the cylinder heads. So naturally the Carb cleaner would need to be much more harsh of a solvent to do its job efficiently.
Dont risk your electronics by using chemicals that are designed to use something else. I bet you dont use steel wool on your mother's fine china right?
