Year of vehicle---------1997
Make of vehicle--------Nissan
Model of vehicle-------Altima GXE
Engine size------------(not sure)
Mileage/Kilometers-----220,000
Only thing I tried was unplugging the what I think is the master control valve (the valve attached next to the air filter) that runs to what appears from my research the idle control (back of the engine). Which worked for awhile.
I read that it could be carb'd up and to spray carb cleaner in the intake. What I'd like to know is:
Where is the part of the intake I need to spray, how much, and is there a video or instructions U guys can just link me to on how to properly do this (so U guys don't have to type it all out). I don't know much but I'm not afraid to try.

The throttle body. You need to remove it and spray the cleaner on it and remove that gunk off of it. I had to do this with my uncle on his '04 Trail Blazer. It helps some but still stalled out at red lights. Its really easy to do really.
If you need more explanation let me know, The throttle body is located between the intake manifold and the air filter intake. Its the big shiny silver square piece or maybe round in your case but more square.
IF I AM WRONG, Please correct me. Sorry if it is.....But im pretty sure it isnt
