Is it possibel to give the throttle body a simple cleaning (so the car will run at stop signs etc...) by simply removing the intake bellows from the lower side of the TB and swabbing it out with a rag? I'm not intending this to be the end-all cleaning, just as a stop-gap measure. Are there any things I should be careful of if I take this approach?
