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.

Yep, read the third paragraph on this web page link below… That dark debris is called Coking, a common byproduct on internal combustion engines. I'm glad your car has better idle and is more responsive.
