I was going to clean my throttle body today, but it looks like the site referenced in the howto - http://www.motorvate.ca , has been hacked and is unusable. Anybody have an alternate link for throttle body cleaning?

 

go to google type in motorvate... then go to the "cached" link on google for some reason the site works that way?

 

WTF, that freaking sucks.

To Clean TB:
Remove the intake: Filter, Maf, Mid-pipe, coupling that connects it to TB
Put somthing on hte accelorator pedel to make it stay at WOT.
As you can see the TB is open now.
Spray TB/Carb cleaner inside of it and scrub with a tooth brush.
Then wipe clean with a rag.
Keep doing it until it is clean enough for you.
Reinstall intake and don't forget to plug in MAF.

Car will be kinda hard to start but it will.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. Google cache...now why didn't I think of that???

 

wow that sucks. I hope there is a backup of that site. We were having problems with that worm yesterday, and we had to recover the sites from backups. Thats what happens when they don't upgrade phpbb
