    Yeah that might get a little bit messy.... throttle body cleaner will evaporate once it dries so its safe to spray it in shit...just use a shop vac after to suck everything out before you turn the engine on.

    If you have an erratic idle check your spark plugs with factory spec torque specks. Just found out my motor has stripped spark plug inlets. Time for a new motor?
