For instructions on cleaning the IAC/EGR valves and throttle body, do a search for "Rough Idle Problem" under my screen name (Green_98) Youll find several good pics and lots of good information when i did it on my truck. Makes it run ALOT better when all that carbon is cleaned out

i did it on a '89 f250 with a 460 in it...get a new throttle body gasket before you start...all you need is a can of carb cleaner and a wire brush...take the body off...clean it real good and replace it ...make sure to get all the gunk you can out of the intake plenum also..makes a world of difference! ...zap!

take a pressure washer and open the flap and spray down in there that should get it

or an old tooth brush and carb/throttle body cleaner will work to... if u dont have a pressure washer
