How to open throttle body electronically

So my cylinders are full of carbon. Presently trying to figure out how to clean the carbon but also trying to investigate the cause of the buildup. I'm thinking my lower intake manifold is full of oil, and want to buy a catch can. A good can setup will run me about $600 CAD and before I spend that dough I'd like to see what it looks like inside the manifold.

Is there any way to electronically open the throttle body so I can get a borescope inside without taking the intake manifold off?

I'd like to electronically open the manifold while the engine is not running if possible.

I’m 99% sure that’s impossible. I can’t imagine the dexterity and patience it would take to fish a scope through the throttle bodies.

Yeah it would definitely take longer to try and fish a scope through the manifold and throttles than to just unbolt it and look

Dump 2 cans back to back of either bk44 or redline fuel injector cleaner.

Carbon build up can be also from clogged fuel injectors and an off air fuel ratio.

i recommend taking intake manifold off and cleaning and inspect the ports. Also smoke test your intake for leaks.
