well this weekend i had nothing to do, so i decided to take off my throttle body and clean it and see what its like in my intake maniflod, oh man was manifold dirty. i think i went throught around 10 rags to clean out my throttle body and the entrance of the manifold. I took my throttle plate off also and cleaned that, i didn't get to clean the mainfold that good, but i did best i could, one of these days im going to take it off and clean it completely when im bored out of my mind, well when i put everything back together, and test drove it, i was impressed, i had better throttle response, the intake wasn't as raspy, but more like smooth. well just thought i'd share that with u guys. it would be a good project for thoes who have that much time.

 

How long did it take?

 

well i had to take of the intake, then the throttle body and had to unplug everything with out breaking or messing up anything and get it really clean, it took about good 2 hours, i was dragging cause i had nothing else to do.

 

i wanted to do that but only took stuff off up to the throttle body. i wanted to take it off but that would have taken too much time and more things to unplug. maybe i'll do that next time.

 

its not that hard just time consuming and watch out for thoes coolant lines i didn't know that they were coolant lines and i had coolant spill over my trany. no biggy i just like my sh! clean so it kind of ****ed me off.

 

did your baseline for idle speed changed after cleaning the TB ???

Nick.

 

well then i finished the job i started my car and my idle was at about 1300 when it got warmed up, but the reason for that was cause when i did the job i messed with the throttle cables and over tightend them, so when i got that fixed i was at around 600 so not really i think before the project i was at around 700 so slightly but im not positive on that.
