Throtle Body

My car has 98,000 miles on it and the Throtle body has never been cleaned. What kind of gains can i expect from cleaning this?

smoother idle, less hesitation, improved gas mileage, better throttle response

You are gonna find lots of dirt in there, I just cleaned mine this week and I only have 52,xxx miles on my '99. I found its smoother at idle and a bit of the hesitation when away.

I just did this also. Pretty much if you ever were cruising and you jumped to WOT, and there was some hestitation, it will be less after cleaning the throttle body.
