My BnB car got very sensitive MAF sensor.. once TB become slightly dirty, RPM drop to 500-700 and vibratet.. I ever encounter engine cut off when at a slope when its on a cold rainy day.. and its a auto gearbox.

 

Once TB cleaned, all back to no vibration at all again... Like new car.

Not special.. last time I complain to C&C that here is excessive vibration when car mileage is 20+k, they told me its due to Tb dirty and cleaned for me. Then after they did that engine very quiet again. After every 8000km, same thing comes back.so I just clean it now and then.

 

Its not a big issue actually and car still running perfectly... However to just unscrew 4 screws take out air intake and clean, and engine not vibrating at all, quite worth the effort.
