Throughout its use, the throttle can accumulate dust and grime which get drawn in with the air.

This buildup starts to deposit on the throttle body, potentially interfering with its optimal functioning. When the throttle body becomes severely clogged, the Ford Ranger displays the corresponding symptoms. Signs of a congested throttle body include:

• Unsteady idle RPM;
  
• Stumbles upon pressing the accelerator;
  
• Reduced dynamism - sluggish acceleration;
  
• Increased fuel consumption and power loss
  

If these symptoms sound familiar and it's been a while since you last cleaned the throttle body, it may be time for a thorough cleanse.

The list of cleaning supplies is quite basic and you're likely to have them in your garage already.
