TB cleaning

AFter owning an SVX for a couple of years..
THis is one of it's quirks.

the hesitation around 2ooo rpms is normal on a cold for my car.
once it warms up all is fine.. There have been times things just didn't seem to be running right. Upon asking a few techs what could it be and getting some VERY expensive suggestions.
I figured I would just clean the TB plates and blow some soot off. This seems to be a GOOD Cure for ODD ball problems. Cause it's always Fixed the stumble, rough idle, Etc that pop up out of no where and go away just the same..

IT's an SVX and it's Quirky.
SPraying out the TB every 6 months is not a bad idea. And yeah it's a rough start for a min until all of it is burnt out.
Redline's Fuel system cleaner is suppose to help reduce this. there is Significant info on this.

PS I've never taken the TB off to clean it. NOt a bad idea as I'm sure it has several small passages that like to CLOG UP.
it's been discussed a 100 times over..
