If you're mechanically inclined-yes. It's just a matter of removing the TB-using carb cleaner and nothing stronger than a tooth brush to clean it. The IAC is attached to the TB, and it too should be cleaned.Hope you have some kind of manual. BUT-I'm wondering when was the last time the fuel filter was changed?
