so my d15 has been idiling a little rough and occasionaly dying when the RPM's drop...

so i decided to take the intake arm off and take a look, well what do i see? my TB is covered with grime, i literally could scrape it off with my finger (all black). so after vacumming it all out and using 2 cans of TB cleaner w/ engine running and not running, i got the TB spotless clean.

it really helped out a lot, my car doesnt die anymore and is ALOT easier to drive, im expecting the gas mileage to go up also. so until i can go B18c this should get me around, peace.

i've been thinking about doing the same thing.

 

so the TB doesn't have to come off to do this.

 

Are you sure it was the throttle body cleaner or possibly was it simply moving the grime that you can move with your finger out of the necessary components that did the job?

 

My car was the same when I bought mine...although I took out my throttle body and cleaned everything

im pretty sure it was a combination of getting all the dust out (vaccum and a rag to wipe everything) and then i moved on to spraying the TB in a 360 motion moving the TB plate back and fourth.
