so the past few weeks my car has been acting up a bit. It hasnt been starting on the first try, and when I start it I always have to give it gas. After it starts it will kind of putter and the rpms will go up and down. This obviously isnt normal but i dont have any CEL's. So Im thinking the TB could use a cleaning?

thats the only thing I could think of that could be causing it? (i am not very mechaniclly inclined)

any ideas?

i had the same problem about 2 weeks ago. some guys on here told me to clean the TB and i didnt really think it would fix it. so i cleaned it and bam. problem fixed. try it and im sure you will be happy!

Just try cleaning the TB, it can really hurt anything, http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php/517 . Your injectors might be getting clogged, try some BG 44k fuel system cleaner, its kind of expensive but it really works. Maybe the battery is going, but I im not sure about the putter. Does the putter go away? Did you check for ghost codes?
