ok. just spent half hour reading up about cleaning a throttle body but i still dont know if i should go ahead,, im not very confident and if i bugger the car and cant pick up my son at the wkend the b!tch of a ex would go nuts!!!! lol..... anyway ive a 02 plate with a AUM engine, can i just clean it and put it back together? will it need anything else apart from being run in to get the idles back to normal IF i give it a go.  thought better putting it here instead of starting a new post on it.
