I know with a wire driven throttle body you aren't supposed to manually open the butterfly while cleaning, just turn key to on and depress the gas pedal.

Well I tried that but the butterfly didn't budge. It stays stock still.
Anybody else run into this?
I am really not open to removing the complete throttle body just for cleaning and the car runs fine.

What you have mentioned (Key ON, gas pedal to the floor) worked well for my Yaris 2007.
I suppose that your car is driving OK and you are not trying to clean the throttle body because of some issue with throttle body. :)

Yes did all that. No movement from throttle body.
