My Lancer is not an Evo, but anyway the cleaning process should be the same so I have to ask a few questions about molybdenum.
I can find 2 versions of the workshop manual. The first does not mention molybdenum at all, and the other one mentions it and warns against removing it:
Is moving the plate by hand safe? I don't see the manual's instructions warn against doing it.
Does my throttle have molybdenum? (From what I understand the answer is yes.) If yes, which areas should I avoid cleaning? Should I avoid cleaning the edge, the perimeter of the plate? What about the plate's axle? I see it's black too. Is it covered with molybdenum?
Throttle body cleaning and molybdenum
