nc211 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 I cleaned the throttle body this past weekend...and WOW...what a nice surprise it made in the car's overall smoothness...seems to be a lot quieter, power is applied a lot more smoothly, better mpg and "I don't understand why??" it's shifting absolutely perfectly now, can't even feel the shifts at all! I posted up how I did it in my "figured out the wobble" thread.....anyway, while cleaning it, I noticed inside of the throttle body housing a 4 or 5 inch pipe coming in from the driver's side, on the top. It has an angled tip end, and it was covered in carbon buildup. I cleaned it the best I could with my Dremel attachment scrubber "see wobble thread for details". What is this tube??? Is that part of the EGR component? I've got a picture, but it's too large to post "resolution at max 3200 x 1700..4 megs". I can try to post it if needed. thanks amigos!!!!

blake918 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Where you able to salvage your gasket? I sure wish I would have gotten those results when i cleaned my tb!! ;) 007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc211 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Oh yeah....by the way....thanks for the advice on buying a new gasket, just in case the old one broke....That sucker split into 4 seperate pieces...Thank God I took your advice and had a new one with me! Check out the wobble thread, I was able to post up a picture of the inside of the throttle housing after using the dremel brush. I think that's where I'm seeing the most improvement. I really hit it around that little hole and surrounding areas. You can also see that pipe I was talking about...although a little out of focus, and I about blinded myself from the camera flash.

blake918 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I can't see a thing in that picture! lol Do you see that tube in this picture (the tb is flipped, so is that it on the bottom?).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
