Is it safe for me to spray something in there (and if so, what), or should I just keep with the manual wiping of the throttle body thing?


I believe Gumout is just a fuel additive (unless they have a product I haven't heard of). Your looking for Throttle Body Cleaner (or Carb Cleaner). I won't comment on if it is safe to use or the exact procedure as I've never had to use it on any of my vehicles. I have watched a friend use it on an old VW Gulf. Made a ton of white smoke when he started it back up but apparently fixed the problem.

Edit: I just looked and Gumout does make a spray product that looks like it would work so ignore that bit.
