Cleaned the Throttle Body Last Week...
...and am surprised at how much of a difference it made.
The car is more responsive and just has a better SOTP feel to it. It only has 51,000 miles and the throttle body did not look very dirty. It did have a slight ring of deposit around the inside of the opening but I have seen many that have looked much worse. Used CRC Throttle Body Cleaner. Definitely an hour well spent. I'll be doing this at least annually.
Recommend to those who haven't done this to give it a try.

Good tip. Might do that to mine before long.
