alright, i was looking up this forum and found my problem with hard gas pedal. It is hard to push and my Cruise control does not work which might be related. I was reading the posts, but i dont know what it was talking about. So my question is, do i take the big round(throttle body) thing off and clean it? Since they said throttle body should be cleaned. Please help :D I know how to take it off and everything, it is just that i dont know the names of these parts. Can someone help me in detail? Thanks alot
 
Go to a dodge dealership and buy some MCCC (search that term). That should clean it out without even taking it off the car. You may subsitute carb cleaner.

Take the intake off, spray some on a rag...ALOT. Wipe all inside the throttlebody. Don't attempt to clean it yet, just soak the inside of the TB using the rag. Let it sit for 10min, then wipe it down. This should cut thru all that nasty buildup like butter.
