Throttle Body Question
I was re-installing my injen intake today when I noticed that there is a ring of black gunk around the edge of the throttle body (if this is even called the TB) I was wondering if this is normal or not. The car has 26k miles on it.

yup put a towel under the tb so it drips onto it. spray a ton of it in there...throw your intake back on real fast..and try to start the car..it'll take a lil while..but when it fires up...stomp on the gas! you'll see all this black smoke come out your exhaust...

No problem..actually the best time to do it is....a few days b4 your oil change...also grab a Big bottle of Chevron Techron Fuel treatment..and dump it in when your on 1/2 tank..and run it dry...then clean your T/B...then drive it a lil..and then change your oil..that way you get alot of the gunk out of your TB..clean your engine out...and put fresh oil
