1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

anybody know of a good thread to read for cleaning a 3rz throttle body? I thought I had one saved, but I can't find it. I'm looking for one that includes part #s.

 

It's just 4 bolts on the side of the intake

It's a good project to go in blind and build confidence because it's not at all hard, the stock metal gaskets are reusable

 

I'm actually just trying to order the parts I need in advance hehe. I remember some needed to be bought at the stealership..

 

I don't belive you need any parts when cleaning the throttle body... but it's been line 2 years since I've opened the hood for engine work on my 3rz

 

Actually yeah no you don't need any parts I pulled the throttle off and slapped it back on when I replaced replaced an injector oring in the pappa John's parking lot

 

A better option ... Pull it off and send it to maxbore.com he'll bore it out, clean it and build a new butterfly. Cost me 125 about 2yrs ago and it was one of the best repair decisions I made while rebuild my truck

 

Cleaning is only as expensive as the cleaner being used. Shouldn't have to buy parts.

 

This isn't a need though... this is only something you do if the tps is bad, if there enough dirt that wore the mating surface between the bore and plate... this isn't a regular or normal or necessary service if it's just dirty

 

I found the thread I'd read before.

043RZ went way beyond just cleaning the throttle body, so that's probably where the part #s I was remembering came from.

I'd really love to do this, but I think I missed my chance to do it while my truck was off the road about a month ago. It's my DD, so I can't swing that again.

 

I never said it was a need, I said it was a better option

 

I love free steel; got some more than 3' of 1 1/2" wide flat stock as well as 3' of 2" square tubing.

The square tubing will be perfect for bracing my tow hitch between the rails.

 

Get to work! I wanna see some damn progress

 

Help, my brain...

 

it seems like more happens at Papa John's than anywhere else in your town

 

That new hybrid brake system

 

Nobody peeping that axle nut too

 

Right

It's just been measurements for the most part.

Need to figure out the length of square tubing I'll need not to mention the angle of the cuts.

 

Didn't even notice

 

You need to start shooting from the hip haha. Winging it and dinging it as they say

 

First date - check

First burn out - check

First felony - in progress
