Default Cleaning EACV

Hi All,
I was encouraged to clean the EACV on my '91 hatchback as a t/s step, and I haven't been able to find info on how to do that. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Chris

FWIW, this article shows the EACV being completely removed for cleaning. My car is old ('91) and I didn't want to risk breaking a hose or connector so I removed the bolts and leaned it back against the firewall. I sprayed carb cleaner on the screen and then used Q-tips to clean the gunk off.

Hope that helps someone.
