Hello there, welcome to Just Answer. Sounds like you might have a slight problem, i think we'll be able to take care of this. First I need a little information. Have you had any other work done lately? Do you have a gas cap, and does it have a good black rubber seal on it? Is your check engine light on? When it does finally start up, how does it seem to run, any shaking or funny noises? Please let me know as much as you can and we'll try to help figure this out.
The safest way to clean a throttle body is WD-40 and a clean rag. Spray the WD-40 on the rag, not into the throttle body and clean around the edges and open the throttle plate and clean the edges of the throttle plate. The best way to clean it would be an old tooth brush so you can get cloos to the edges, try and not to push the dirt in and behind the throttle plate. Thank you for choosing Just Answer, and hope to here from you.
