Maybe I should have, but I didn't disconnect the battery. I just disconnected the harness from the throttle body and removed it for cleaning.

Was there alot of oil residue in your intake?

Yes, I had oil in my intake. To me, it looked normal/typical. The throttle body had some dark varnish-like residue (age and heat), and there was light wet oil upstream. Likely source is from the crankcase vent between the air intake box and throttle body.

You you need to do a throttle re-learn process if you clean and/or remove the throttle body?

Cool. Iāll try this on mine after I get it put back together. Ever since almost new, itās done this. Idles fine at fast idle, but rough in park till you start driving it or let it idle for a while. Of course the dealerships said itās normal. One tried to charge me a diagnostic fee because they couldnāt find anything wrong with it and it was a year old with like 18k miles on it.
