That's all I did to clean my TB and it worked well. I used an old tooth brush and TB cleaner, kept the butterfly open and sprayed inside and then brushed any carbon out. It seemed to work well.

That was 15,000km ago and I noticed lately that my car seems to idle around 500RPM and then I can feel a slight rumble and it will rise up briefly to 600 and then back down. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "rough idle" but it is noticeable while being stopped most of the time. Anyone know the recommended cleaning interval for the TB? I'm surprised if a dirty TB is what is causing this issue since I cleaned it not that long ago. I'm also using an oil catch can FWIW.

Hi. I wanted to know if you were able to solve the low rpm problem? I am having the same problem in my Yaris. Cleaning the throttle body doesn't seem to solve the problem. Can you advise if ever you know the solution.
