Default Rough Idle C230 K

I've read conflicting reports. I did the Techron 2 tanks in a row, and keep reading how Sea Foam could clear up my problem (I'd put it in the gas, not as an oil additive)

Some say NO WAY, others say Go For It.... what's the consensus on this?

It's really cold here, and I'm inclined to think I have throttle-body build up etc. but I would like to give this a try. Car run great when "driving" but even after warmed up, it seems to idle rough at stops sometimes.

Based on how it handles the open road/acceleration/etc. I tend to think it's not a cylinder/head problem.

Pull off the air hose and clean the throttle body.

What kind of shape are your plugs in? How about the MAF?
