Cleaning out the Throttle Body on a 2002SLE

Post by Petermcmxii »

I've got a 2002 Bonneville SLE that like to idle roughly and whenever i get on the gas it like to hesitate. I'm thinking its the throttle body due to some of the reviews I've heard from the people I've talked to. Anybody have a forum thread i can consult? Preferably with pictures or a detailed decription?

I've already replaced the spark plugs, coil packs amd fuel filter last summer and the plug wires are about 2 years old.

That sounds like it could be a bad cat as well.

I do believe there is a guide to cleaning the TB in the Techinfo section above.
