Tips
* If you are not comfortable working on your own car, you can take it to a mechanic and have them perform this service.
* When cleaning the throttle body, be sure to avoid damaging the throttle position sensor.
* If you are unable to reduce the idle speed to 750 RPM, you may need to have your car's idle air control valve replaced.
