Garbage idle

ok, just finished cleaning the throttle by spraying it into the intake (took filter off, had a buddy rev hold the car at 2000 rpm)... used up about half the bottle. Now the idle is even more fucked it's unsteady, and its misfiring more. I'm at a frickin loss here!!

Next order of business is to ground the block. Good idea? bad idea?

If that stuff got into the AFM, then it could have caused real problems...

Also would have stripped the oil film from the rotors and housings.
