I believe I need to clean/airate the choke on the throttle body to remove carbon buildup with choke cleaner. I believe this is causing a high idle when i start up my vehicle. Because somethings up with the choke its telling the computer more gas is needed which in turn is causing the high idle, now I believe the choke is the cause for a slow accleration thats started to become apparent over some time now,as if its starving for gas. I believe my issue is with the choke,or some component on the throttle body.What do i need to do specifically to air it out /clean the choke area? And what should i look at as far a sensors are concerned on the throttle body if it's not the choke? Any help is appreciated!!!
how do i clean the choke on a 97 range rover?

First your RR does not have a choke. No fuel injected vehicle has one.
Second never I repeat never use carb cleaner to clean a fuel injected vehicle... buy Throttle body cleaner, trust me there is a difference.
High idle can come for a lot of things from dirty air filter/dirty MAF/wrong plugs/dirty injectors/dirty butterfly valve/dirty fuel filter/dirty TPS or IAC/Cheap fuel/dieing battery/etc ...
