Re: P0134, P2251, P0506

nope, i can't seem to find instructions on how to do it, as i've never had to clean a throttle body bore before.

strangely enough, the CEL went off, but the idle is still rough at times.

Re: P0134, P2251, P0506

thanks, redbull.

what do you think the problem is that causes, when idling, the RPM to drop and then go back up, when turning the steering wheel, like a rough idle?
