Hey I cleaned my throttle body about two days ago and it was the best thing i could have done to my car. I had bad idling after the car heated up. it would struggle to keep stable but never died on me. After i pulled the throttle body out there was some dark debris which i clean with MAF cleaner. Now Cassandra is running like a champ. The car feels much more responsive and I have less problems with the 1st to 2nd gear shifts. I had it easier because of the e throttle so removal was a breeze. The only hard part was reinstalling the air intake tube to the throttle body. It was very hard and I recommend having a buddy help with reinstallation.

So bottom line Clean those throttle bodies. Truly worth the 1hr 30min. Can be done quicker but through cleaning is better.
