had a few issues over the last few weeks with the car idling funny and just not feeling right...

had a couple of hours free this afternoon, so took the throttle body apart and gave it a clean and it feels alot better. not sure if my issue is sorted but it was really dirty so can have only helped.

i have a forge intake on my car, and it was very dirty with little bits of dirt rattling inside it....

What did you use to clean it mate?

Carb cleaner or any alcohol based products will be fine

Untested and expensive but dont see why not.

If you used after shave your exhaust fumes would smell wonderful

i used isopropyl alcohol, just cause i had some laying around as i use it for wiping down panels after machine polishing. but yeah anything alcohol based works best, they have a dedicated throttle body cleaner if you can get some...

nice easy job and surprised me how dirty it was...lets hope it solves my problem...

Want to do this on mine but I heard you have to get it re-aligned after. Is that really the case?
