Thank you

Yup, That's the stuff. If you got a Walmart or some kind of Auto Parts store near by you can buy it there as well.

A lot of guys will purchase this one time Combo Pack that also includes a can of Throttle Body Cleaner.

The difference in performance is more than noticeable. I'd look there first if you are experiencing the same issues. Probably the easiest fix I've ever had.

I was pretty much in the same boat as you were. Gave both MAF and TB a good cleaning and it runs like new !
