I’ve set out to fix a vibration issue at idle on my Tacoma’s 3.4 V6 engine. Could a dirty throttle body the culprit? Watch to find out!

Johnny Swisher's throttle by was really dirty I cleaned it and it's stop the vibration and thanks for the great video
Rock chalk baby ….ROCK CHALK…That is all
Last year I completely removed the intake manifold off my 2.7 with 255000 on it and wow what a mess…A gallon of gas in a oil catch pan and a big old bottle brush to scrub out both halves of the intake runners and then clean out the throttle body. My biddy says oh why dont you use brake cleaner. I said because I would need an entire case. And at what is it $7 a can for that stuff, a gallon of gas is cheaper. Dirty gasoline was flying everywhere……….outside on the grass that is..ha! But now my IAC is acting up. I dont remember cleaning that last year? So the TB and IAC are on my to do list in the AM. Such fun!
I had a similar vibration issue while in idle D and R but not in Park that would go away as soon as i started driving. Turns out it was the fan clutch that needed to be replaced as it was gyrating in its socket and shaking the whole vehicle, nonetheless this video helped me clean out my taco to help it reach that half a million mile mark haha
Try cleaning or replacing your IAC? If this engine contains a separate one like most Hondas do. They're usually on the back of the intake manifold.
