About once every 3-4 months, the car won't idle. You have to keep your foot on the gas to keep it running in neutral or drive... My mechanic said it is simply a gummed up throttle body and intake... He pulled the intake off right after the air filter, wiped his finger on the inside of the mechanism and came out with a grease-covered finger... Black as can be...
He says there is a $45 treatment he does to clean it all up.
Anyone have a frugal alternative such as manually spraying starting fluid or some other flammable / solvent-based fluid in there? Safe to do?
