Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the ignorance, but I've read a lot about the throttle body, etc. But, which part is it exactly under the hood? Could someone please post a pic?

I'm asking because I'm taking everyone's advice to take it apart to clean the butterfly and the general area to see if I can improve the idling on the car. I've also got a rough idea where the MAF is and have looked at a bunch of other posts on how to clean it, etc. Am I missing any other preventative maintenance stuff for the idling???

I've owned the car for about 4 months and don't know if the previous owner's did this, so i'm kind of playing catch up to make sure this baby is being taken care of from now on!

Thanks!

It is an easy find it is the part that the flexible air hose coming off the MAF and the filter box. You can recognize it by finding the accelerator cable gear. If you remove the hose you can see the butterfly. HTH
