It goes without saying that ALL Cavalier engines benefit from a good clean of all the breather hoses aswell as all the vacuum pipes and stubs.
I have often done my cam cover breather pipes, but never faffed near my throttle body - so probably long overdue on my C20NE just as a general maintenance job.
