any of you guys cleaned the throttle body? does the 7afe tb get excessively dirty? and whats the best way to clean it.
I'm also wondering if I need to change the pcv valve. this didn't even occur to me before but apparently its supposed to be changed every 15,000 miles? TIA. |

It will get dirty over time
It is fairly hard to clean. You can use Carburetor/throttle body cleaner spray. You would have to remove the plastic hose connect to the throttle body to the air box. Rev your engine while spraying. I personannly know that indivisual throttle bodies to get dirty. If you wnat, you can remove the whole assembly and use gasoline to clean the whole throttle assembly. I do not know, but I thought the pcv is only on turbocharge cars. Either way, if that is the case, change it. -------------------- West_Minist
