I decided to clean the throttle body and put in new air filter on 1997 Dodge Ram I just bought, it has 165,000 miles.
After taking off the filter housing I found lots of gunk. Was afraid to spray it as all that will liquify and go on down. You can see on the left side where I just slid my finger on a small space which is now shinny. I think that gunk isn't hurting anything as it stuck on there, but is a sign of what has gone on down. Thought I would post and ask if that is a problem, should I spray away or do something else??
Here are some pics of what I decided to hold off on. Also I think that connection on right side toward back is idle air control that can be removed and cleaned or maybe just better to replace? Any advice is appreciated.
