Dirty Thottle Body
I cleaned out my K&N on my Dakota, and I decided to take off the air intake and then I noticed how grummy the throttle body was. So I took that off, and then I cleaned up the throttle body, and I cleaned out the upper intake as well. So I put everything all back together... and whatta difference it made. Smoother idle, much faster throttle response, and a better exhaust note.
My question is... how the heck does it get this bad? Also, how long should I wait before cleaning on the one on my F150?

I just was curious on how it gets so bad...
