I cleaned out the throttle body the other day, and idle is now much smoother. Only trouble is, next time I drove it, the power locks and digital clock didn't work. Checked all the fuses, all OK with clean contacts. Poked around the relays under the hood, and now the locks work, but still no clock. Before I tear the dash out to check the connector, is there anything else which might be causing the clock to not work? Thanks!

cleaning your TB should not affect those things, it could be just a coincidence
the clock problem is very common to 3rd gens; it's just the display. The time will be right if/when it comes back on. Some people just have intermittent clocks and some people can get it to come back on if you hit the dash above it. A real fix for it is to take apart the dash and remove the clock, then resolder all joints and replace the electrolytic capacitors
search for clock stuff to find more info on fixing it and taking apart the dash if you need it
