Cleaning tbi unit

I want to clena my tbi unit but should be worried about taking it apart. I had tpi and I can take those apart with my eyse closed and do everything I need to do but this is my first tbi. Also the car has sort of a miss while in drive and stopped. It sort of jumps but its fine when I press the gas. Any idea what this could be??

Just take it off and use a good amount of carb cleaner. I use a tooth brush as well to scrub all of the funk out. It is really easy to do and is a good way of keeping your vacuum passages clean.
