O2 sensor on SP question
Bigdog it seemed to work for me cleaning the throttle body & EGR valve. Got rid of the dip a couple of months ago and don't have a problem at all now. Was very bad on cold starts stalling/ almost stalling but was fixed after a squirt of cleaner.

From the quick glance I took it all looked clean in there. Steve - how seriously did you spray in the throttle body? I just gave mine a quick squirt... but the idle dip has recurred a few times in the last week. Did you remove the idle adjustment screw thingy and clean it? I was trying to avoid having to reset the base idle, so didn't go that far.

Just took the pipe off, opened the butterfly valve & gave it a quick squirt in there, didn't remove anything else. Good solid squirt but not for too long. Took the EGR off and gave it a really good clean, heaps of black gunk came out and moved a lot more freely than before.
