    Well...you actually have to remove the TB from the car and clean both sides of it. It is a common symptom with the '04+ cars.

    switched to a different size intake pipe and that helped the check engine light went out b4 i had the chance to scan it so most likely due to all the tb cleaner i sprayed in there plus i sprayed in the brake booster took off the charcoal canister on tb and sprayed there and sprayed where the pcv valve goes the car is alot smoother but im guessin im gonna have to pull off the tb but i know for a fact the tb is so clean u can eat off of it after i get the tb off should i spray in the intake manifold?? sometimes when reverse to drive feels like she wants to take off but also feels like its lost alot of pick up still goes this car really sucks anymore causing me to ramble cause im lost dont know what to do
