I've also been experiencing a rough idle. Getting a P0507 message. Cleaned out the throttle valve but it seems ok. Checked that tube that is in the diagram, and that seemed ok. I think there is an air intake leak somewhere. What is the best way to do it. I know you can shoot some gas in there like:

ethyl
carbcleaner

I also heard some people can get really hurt in case of an ignition. What is the best procedure for doing this yourself? (i.e. which product is most reliable and more safe) I also don't really know where to spray it. On top of engine? Bottom? Any place in particular that is a common point of leaking? Will there be a noticeable increase in rpm or do you have to listen really carefully?

If somebody could show me in a diagram, that would be loads of help.
