4.0 Throttle body

Also does anyone think that having an oil catch can would help keep the TB clean?

 

You can get it at NAPA...however, despite everyone having a love affair with this stuff....and maybe you like Slick 50 too....have a look at the WHIMS sheet....1/3 naptha gas, 1/3 isopropyl, 1/3 kerosene. Good for O2 sensors and other downline parts? Well, who knows. To each their own I guess.

 

SOMEONE pics please haha, for all of us Newbs!! I want to do this baaaaad!

 

^ c'mon man, its a hose ring and 4 bolts, not that hard if you do stuff yourself. why do you need pics?!

 

Yosh! I don;t even know where to start is why its so hard brah!! So the hose that goes into your air intake needs cleaned??? Doesn't make much sense.... sorry I can def do it when I know what it is, I ain't no mechanic

 

Yes I can use google.... why get on here if I am going to goodle everything? Sorry for asking for pictures guys, along with the 5 other people that did on this thread

 

beat me to it, or this....

 

you want to do it so bad, but you dont even know what it is...cmon dude....

all the info you could ever need was posted here w/ much detail, pics from google can fill in the rest...still need stuff, check this....

 

exactly, its super easy, there are 4 bolts that hold your throttle body onto the manifold. you take those out, disconnect the two hoses connected to the back of the throttle body and you have it out. Then spray with cleaner and scrub with tooth brush. Repeat spraying again to clean any crap, then put it back together. its very easy.

 

grrrr

 

hehehehe

 

Okay folks....

See the silver thing with the gold plate inside? Thats the throttle body. You dont need to remove it from truck. Just pull off the 4 bolts holding it to the manifold...or in my case the supercharger.

It will hang by itself there, suspended by the coolant lines. No need to disconnect the coolant lines.

Gently push the gold blade open and wipe the black/brown muck off with a damp rag.

Put it back together.

well it depends, mine was so dirty in order to fully clean it i needed to take it off, also cleaned the inside of the opening to the manifold as it was filthy black too. I had to scrub quite a bit with a toothbrush to get all the crud off of mine.

 

i read what you posted but still dont get it...could you please put an arrow to the 4 bolts that i have to remove and in what order to remove them. also could you put an arrow to EXACTLY where i need to spray...speaking of which, how much do i spray in there? is it bad to spray too much?

i totally have to do this, but still not sure what im looking at....
