clean the throttle body, Just buy some throttle body cleaner or carb cleaner from canadian tire, and spray some into the throttle body while reving the car at the same time. that should fix your crazy idle. ---

You don’t necessarily need to pull it to clean it. You can spray intake cleaner through the rubber hose going to the plastic intake, while reving the engine. I did mine three years ago this way and have not had a problem since. ---

egr valve may be sticking? does the car rev up freely ro redline, or is there any hesitation after 3000RPM’s? ---

You can spray intake cleaner through the rubber hose going to the plastic intake, while reving the engine. I did mine three years ago this way and have not had a problem since. Tried that multiple times… Seems like it helps for a few minutes to even hours then eventually gets crappy again within 48 hours. Any other options I have? Also noticed If I clutch in while coming to a stop the rpms sorta hesitate to drop and stop for a few seconds at 2 seperate locations before it sets at normal idle. When idling is in crappy mode I notice the car bogging bouncing during acceleration or while cruising at low kms in 2nd or 3rd gears.
