And thanks.
usually everytime you replace the air filter you should do a throttle body cleaning. I would say every 10,000 - 15,000 miles
use throttle body cleaner and toothbrush or rag and just a couple sprays and wide it out
It might hesistate to start after you clean it but it will smooth itself out.
