pretty noob question but i just want to be sure before i do any thing,
im pretty sure the throttle is really dirty cuz the idle drops really low and sometimes the engine stalls when i stop at a stop light. i've cleaned the IACV and still the same problem so im guessing its the throttle body.....what to use and is there a certain way to do it?

I agree, check your FITV. It is located on the bottom of the throttle body.

And to clean a throttle body you can just use carb cleaner. If you remove it from the intake manifold I suggest using a new gasket :thumb:
