I added the VE throttle body cleaning to my how-to sectino of my page (link is in my sig below)

it's sort of the same idea for VG guys, but not the exact same procedure

direct link is here is you're lazy and dont want to have to click my page, then how-to and then TB cleaning

enjoy

reclaim your VE POWER with your freshly cleaned throttle body
also, in these pics, you can see the red connector that RosenKen had mentioned cleaning to decrease sporatic power loss in another thread; I think it's the coolant temperature sensor

It IS the coolant temp sensor. Just be carefull how you pull the connector off. You have to GENTLY pry back the two metal ends of the retaining clip. Really small screwdriver works.

Good looking out Craig(NICE GRILLED)...And I am stupid Jeff I just realized when I cleaned the temp sensor I really did clean it I pulled the whole damn thing out and the coolant starting flowing out and I took the sand paper and cleaned the actual sensor itself the round cylinder piece inside.Is that right or wrong?

Your directions for the TB cleaning is so amazing. Whenever people talked about doing it, it sounded impossible but you put it such a way that anyone can do it. Next sunny day I'm gonna do it.
Thanks,
Dave

wow, thanks
I try to make it pretty simple because it is a pretty simple thing; the only semi-hard part is pulling out the large plastic piece after removing all it's connectors
it's a lot easier to see the pics than try to describe it to someone
good luck
