I did clean it all out when I changed the air inlet temp sensor, but I could give it a tap before trying.
My mate has a 2009 S40 with the throttle body issue and his will not fire at all until he taps the throttle body.
Do the throttle bodies wear out? My car has done 204000 miles

yes it will fire up but run very rough and smoky with no response when you press the throttle . It will be well worn by now ... you need to prove it though .. tapping the housing with a light hammer might help do that ..
