Only do it if you are having problems.
Otherwise you are probably fine.

I have almost 50k on mine. Mine was fine when I put the CAI in
at 40k. It looked clean and I had no problems so there was no reason to mess with it.

However if I get the new FRRP manifold I may end up cleaning it then. I have spent a BOATLOAD of money lately so my real next mods won't come for a while.

I plan to either to the manifold or port my heads.
Or both lol.

Hard to get a pic...just take a light and with the car running...I have the door open and on my knees outside so I can look at the thottle pedal assembly...now push the pedal with your hand and watch the place where the pedal arm contacts the assembly...(the "at rest" point) you will see a gap as the the arm moves down from the stop...see how far it goes before the rmps move...I simply used a bit of JB weld to attach a thin washer to the arm to fill in that gap and remove the slack...now I breathe on my pedal and the rpms jump 200...
