Quick question that I know you guys can help with. 92 SC300. 119K. Recently felt like gas pedal sticking when first driving. Many members stated to clean throttle body and reset ECU. Could this be the problem with some power loss feeling. It just doesn't seem to have that snappy power now. I had a complete tune-up right at 117K. Thanks for your thoughts. You all have been right so far, and I appreciate the help.

Try doin a fuel system cleaning. That might help. You're car could be sluggish because of all the carbon build up in you're intake manifold and you're injectors. Take it to a local Jiffy Lube. They can do it there. The only reason I endorse J-Lube is beacuse I'm the manager @ one.

JiffyLube can clean the throttlebody,intake and injectors???Simply spraying cleaner into the intake really wont do a great job of cleaning.
Did your tune-up include changing the sparkplug wires or distributor. Afuel system cleaning is a great idea. You may have to do it more than once if you use one of those pour in gas tank treatments. Good Luck.

I had the plugs, wires, and distributor all done when it was tuned. Ran great for a while. Would everyone still suggest a throttle body cleaning first. I plan on doing this this weekend. What does anyone suggest to use for the cleaning? Ive seen conflicting remarks from the actual cleaner to use up to what type of brush etc... to use during the process. Thanks again for the help

I just took mine off and sprayed TB cleaner in there. It does a good job of getting the buildup off; I didn't need a brush.
