complaining on this form about a bad vibration in drive only I will include an attachment look at the before and after pictures of my throttle body it's nice and clean it did take away the vibration slightly but I definitely got better acceleration out of it so it was sticking a bit I lost about 35 miles per tank of gas so hopefully this will get it back for me but the vibration is just a loss

Please share how you cleaned it. Did you remove it? If not removed, how do you get the inside of the intake area clean? I know that some throttle bodies have a special coating (Ford?) and if you use anything other than labeled throttle body cleaner, you can wreck that coating.

I just sprayed throttle body cleaner and let saturate. I took a toothbrush and gently scrubbed around butterfly valve. I then held the valve open and wiped inside really well. My white rag turned black from the gunk in there. Well it didn't resolve the vibration,but it does accelerate better. Now I'm going to check gap on plugs. And then chase a vacuum leak. If that does not solve,I guess engine mounts are next.
