I do have an OBD2 reader
nothing fancy but I does have live data
I can watch all that info til the cows come home but I don't know what I'm looking for
How do I find out the parameters so I'll know if something is skewed?
Any advice ya'll have to give is helpful, so thank you

From what I can see of it, the throttle body looks surprising clean
There'* a bit of gunk on the very edges of the plate that moves but not much
Is it possible that it'* really dirty and gummed up behind what I can see?

I plugged in my scanner the 02b1s2 reads 99 whether idling or getting the rpms up
