How do you know it needs cleaned? hesitation when accel from stop? Slight rough idle? What? You can use carb clean and a clean rag to reach in and clean the buildup at the throttle plate area. It is at the flexible tube coming from the air cleaner. Can even use a toothbrush to clean but I like a rag. Cleaning helps clean up the turbulence created by the buildup that causes a disturbance to the airflow into the throttle body.
the man at mazda said my trottle body needs cleaning, but of corse he will charge me alot of money to do it, can i do it myself, or how much do it usually cost?
