hi, guys

recently, sometimes the Fiesta doesn't start straight away and using a bit of throttle she'll start. I've been told this could be to do with the throttle body being dirty and needing a clean? Not sure if this is correct but some guidance would be muchly appreciated If this is the case, how hard is it to remove the throttle body?
