I had a rough idle so I cleaned the throttle body last month at 83,000 miles.

It was dirty. There was a thick black layer in the throttle body that was tough to remove with alcohol. I eventually got it all off and cleaned the inside of the intake tubes as well even though they seemed to be clean.

Idle Problem Gone. It literally took me less than 20 minutes to take it apart, clean it, and put it back together. It is an easy DIY.

Havent really driven much since I did the cleaning until today. The car is much more responsive on the throttle....feels clean and powerful.

I love seeing the results of simple DIY maintenance!
