Cleaning the throttle body

Hi all,

I was going about cleaning my throttle body and MAF as described here: 4Runners.org - Cleaning Your Throttle Body and MAF

I came to the point where you hold down the throttle body lever, and noticed that in the picture in the write up, the plate reaches about a 90 degree angle from the closed position when the lever is depressed. When I depress the throttle body lever on mine, it only opens about 45 degrees.... is that normal, or is my throttle body not opening up as it should?

Thanks for the help!!!
 
2001 or 2002 = Normal

Throttle-by-wire only opens with cable to limp-home position.

1996-2000 = Not normal.
 
I just did mine on my 2002 Runner. I took the Throttle Body off so I could get at both sides. The plenum side was filthy and you can't get that out without taking the Throttle Body off.
