Who has tried this spray TB cleaner that you spray in the throttle body with the car running...does this actually work..im looking to try anything to fix my erratic idel. I have a new MAF sensor, New Ac delco plugs and wires, New airfilter,new 02 sensor, new fuel filter, and pcv valve, nothing has helped my **** poor mileage or erratic idel, it runs very rich and gets around 11-13 mpg in town! ouch! Also the PCM isnt giving me any codes so im assuming its nothing in the computer area. But in park if i rev it up there is a banging sound comming from the engine compartment then when i release the accelerator it makes a hard CLICK noise the the car rolls a few inches back or forward, it also does this in neutral.

As for the "banging" sound, well that sounds like a motor mount needs to be replaced.

the whole motor mount thing would make sense cause in drive at idel i can feel the car running, its like everything in the car is rattling especially the steerwheel. I can tes the whole motor mount but using a crowbar and trying to move the mount around right??

Use the code scanning procedure in Techinfo. Come back here with any codes. I have seen one TPS with a big 'dead spot' that wouldn't throw a code, but prevented the Cruise Control from working. I still have that one. Saving it for the grandkids.
