What those guys said but its not a bad idea to run with it off during
maintenance.
When you change oil you should use power foam or similar cleaner to help
stop buildup on the valves. THen I run w/out eco throttle and shoot that
stuff in the air intake.
Give it the old italian tune up from time to time but otherwise yeah use
the ECO throttle all the time unless the start surge fails on a big
device
