    today I cleaned the throttle body on my wife's 1997 sc2 and when I had it
    apart I noticed that there was a black coating all over the throttle body
    and into the intake manifold. I sprayed it with carb cleaner to clean it and
    got all the black stuff off the throttle body but could not clean the intake
    manifold as well. is this black stuff normal or is something wrong with the
    car?

    I've seen this on my car, nothing to worry about, probably a lot of short
    trips, and not enough long highway trips.

    You really should use throttle body cleaner rather than carb clean.
    The coating is normal. Cleaning the plate does what you need it to.
