Topic: Dirty or Sticking Throttle Body

The RPMs on my car hangs between shifts and the exhaust pops a little. Could my throttle body be dirty? If so, is it safe to use the over-the-counter throttle body cleaners to clean it? Or does my car need a tune (chip). It has a diablo delta chip (stock setting) and the car has 20K miles.
Thanks

hmmmmmm never heard of a dirty TB before. Do you have an off road pipe. Sounds like a tune issue, unless you have an exhaust leak, when your RPM's begin to come down and exhaust leak will make a nice healthy pop. Very odd for the TB to be dirty on such a newer car unless you got something on it when you put your CAI on ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Have you checked the obvious, like making sure the floor mat isn't interfiering and removing the intake elbow and having someone press the gas while you check the movement?
