Cleaning Fuel Injection System on 2000 Camry LE

My car has been hesitating very badly. A friend recommended that I put Lucas fuel injector cleaner in the tank to clean the system.

I can tell it's working a little, but how can I more thoroughly clean the system to get the entire clog out?

You can clean the throttle body out with throttle body cleaner. There could be some carbon build up in it

Thanks for the advice.

But could you give me instructions (or point me to a place online that can give instructions) on how to clean-out the throttle body?

Is this very difficult to do?

Follow where the air filter is towards the engine, the air orface connects to the engine usually with a clamp. Loosen the clamp and move the air intake to the side. Spray the inside of the throttle body with cleaner. Read instructions on the can carefully. After spraying the cleeaner in the throttle body let it sit for a few minutes to loosen up any carbon. Start the engine and let it run for a couple of minutes to burn out the old carbon, shut off engine and repeat process.
