How many have cleaned your throttle body and at what mileage. What was the condition or it. Clean, dirty, or very dirty. I have 91000 on mine and plan on doing this in the spring.

 

So nobody has cleaned there throttle body. I know the dealer up here in canada wanted 400$ to do this. I will do it myself.

 

I did mine at about 69k. some 409 and a toothbrush and about 15 mins to clean (not including taking it of and putting it on). Total time, about 45 mins taking your time (beer plus a cigar). Very easy. Mine had a lot of gunk but don't know if it effected anything (nothing noticed versus running the dirty one or after cleaning).

 

Ya not sure if it would help but clean is better then dirty. I always have time and a beer to do it.

 

Seriosuly though it's cake (and I am not mechanically inclined). Remove air box hose with a scredriver (about 30 secs), take out 4 long bolts that hold the TB in place (about 5 mins). Figuring out how to undo the clip that holds in the electronic wiring on the TB (about 3 mins). Cleaning (about 15 mins)....and put back together..... I cannot beleive someone would charge 400 bucks for this...
Oh yeah, and I gave a VERY light oiling to the gasket

Enjoy

One more thing....If you are looking at putting in a throttle body spacer, save your money. I have one...ZERO MPG, ZERO HP, ZERO ANYTHING. Increase in waste of money: 100%

 

no I am happy with my setup now. She runs great lots of power. I will do this cleaning in the spring when my new headlights come in. I have to remove the whole cai then anyways

 

There's a long post on the forum about this - it was popular about a month ago!

Easy to perform - personally didn't notice a huge change but idle seemed to be a bit smoother!
