Fluctuating idle fixed.

I started "The Box" yesterday and after about 15 secs idling it made a pop sound and almost stalled. After that while idling, the idle was fluctuating by about 50-100rpm and took 2-3 attempts to start the vehicle after refuelling.
After reading on here and Pedro's garage about cleaning the throttle body, I decided to try there for starters.
After reinstalling the clean throttle body, the hardest part was getting the intake air hose back on to the throttle body. As this is hard plastic a small amount of lubrication was required.
It took maybe 1.5hrs & problem solved.

Keep the self repair tips coming guys. I am new to Porsche ownership & love the car. I also hate the overpriced dealers & what they charge for simple work.
