remove the intake tube, and clean the throttle body with a suitable fuel injection cleaner, flip the throttle valve open and clean the backside. Spray and clean out the IAC passage. With the engine running spray cleaner into the intake until it starts making the engine miss. allow this to happen for a while, then let it shut down. Spray the rest of the cleaner into the intake. Allow to sit for 1/2hr- 1 hour. Start the engine up and hold at 2500 RPMS until the smoke clears out. Then proceed to change your engine oil, filter, and spark plugs, as it will probably dilute the oil through the piston rings.
