If the engine struggles to maintain idle or experiences flat spots during acceleration, it may indicate a malfunction of the throttle body, and the solution could be a simple cleaning of the throttle body itself. To disassemble it, start by disconnecting the hose that connects it to the engine air filter box. Remove the plastic cover over the throttle cable, unclip the cable, and remove the cable support bracket.

Then disconnect the connectors and complete the disassembly by unscrewing the relevant retaining bolts.
