Brakes lock up on first use
This could often be to either of the following:1) Corrosion on disks after sitting in the wet.2) Sticking caliper slide pins or pistons.3) Old, hardened brake pads.Those are typically the most common cause of this type of fault, so I'd recommend checking on those first.

Not much to clean on any throttle body,just analuminum machined casting & may have somedeposits on it, but that isn't going to be your lossof power issue.You can spray it inside with CRC Throttle BodyCleaner,the instructions are on the can.Have to go thru the entire engine testing as you go,assuming all preventative maintenance has been done, if time & mileage warrants such workDon't throw parts at it

HelloThe engine
and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train
are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and
TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a
problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the
computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some
exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature
sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in
its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems
memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read
you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and
resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL
A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR
HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM
