    Clean out the throttle body. The butterfly sticks the the bore from the carbon deposts. remove the throttle body and use cleaner to remove the carbon. or spray into the throttle body and use a rag to clean off the sides and plate as best as possiable. will be tough to start so hold the gas pedal down to cut off the fuel and crank the engine over. once started you will a huge smoke show out the exhaust. drive the car and turn to make sure all the liquid is evaportated. first methiod is recommend but suggest a new gasket.
