on occasion, my car will drop below idle for a second or two....impacts power steering and a few other things until it "recovers".

What gives?

 

Do your throttle bodies need cleaning?

 

Probably, it has 109K and I've never done it. Heard horror stories about doing it wrong, so I've never tried. What is the correct way?

this is G35Driver, which also talks about the FX models, M35, and newer V36 platform.
