My first saturn SL needed it every few months, but I think the throttle blade wore into the bore a little. It was sticky, and being a stick shift, I found myself blipping the throttle to unstick it before letting up on the clutch. Once cleaned, I could lift the clutch slightly then give a subtle amount of gas to take off more smoothly.
Other saturns of the same design needed it way less, once a year or even less. I used brake cleaner but now, being super cheap, I use a paper towel and "suspect gas" that may have water in it that I drained from a snowblower and don't really know how to get rid of. Wear nitrile gloves of course.
