This particular video doesn't go into great detail on the actual cleaning but once you're staring down the barrel of it, gently open the "butterfly" and use a solvent (such as throttle body cleaner) to clean the plate on both sides, the edge/circumference of the plate, and the barrel where the plate closes on it. You can get down the barrel too, but just don't scratch it with a tool--use a clean rag or paper towels. If it's chunky, that's a good indicator it's letting in extra air and could be causing your issues. Take your time, use a toothbrush, wipe it all out.

If you go slow, it will take an hour and cost $10 if you use name brand TB cleaner. And it's well worth it even if it doesn't solve your problem.
Thank you for the info, I just finished cleaning my throttle body before jumping the wires for the capacitor and it fixed the issue!! Dont know how I forgot to check that after cleaning the maf sensor. It had a lot of carbon build up and after taking my time cleaning I let it idle and fixed my issue! Appreciate all the help and info that was provided!
