    Rough idle, poor performance, loss of power. If you think it may need cleaned do it. You can't have it too clean.

    Just look at it, you dont need to diagnose it.

    Pull the intake tubing off, get a flashlight, open up the throttle plate with your finger. If it's all black and gunky inside, take the tb off and clean it out with a carb cleaner spray and a rag.

    It's 4 bolts, on and off. You can clean the MAF while you're in there too. Dont use the carb cleaner on the MAF though, use a dedicated MAF cleaner spray for that.
