Noob question

Total noob question here. I have posted before about the bouncing rev syndrome. I have an 06 SS/SC. I have heard alot of posts about cleaning the Throttle Body. How do you go about doing that. Also what about the MAF and O2 sensors? Would replacing them be beneficial too?

replacing wouldn't really be needed unless you are getting a cel ... it is possible to clean the sensors but very insanely careful I mean your life depends on it careful.

are you stage 1? 2?

I had the same problem, There is a TSB for it. Its covered under warrenty, they just reflash your ECU. Problem solved.

I have been reflashed. Didn't do jack. It actually stalled itself by the revs dropping so low. And that was after the reflash.

it's the computer, your probably getting less fuel than you need and since our cars run within roughly 500rpm accuracy being at idle it doesn't take much for it to stall. by yourself the only thing you could do physically is clean the maf so hopefully you get a better reading on how much fuel you need for the air coming in.
