4.0 Throttle body

Honestly, if you still dont understand after reading all these posts, looking at the picture, and looking at your truck....you shouldnt be working on any vehicle.

Take it to a professional or dont touch it at all.

 

i have a feeling hes f'n with us

 

i completely agree...(i was messing around, sorry if that wasnt clear)

!!

 

/\ its funny how big of a DICK some people can be on here just sayin

 

awe, cmon man, lighten up, its the intarwebz. the answers to all your questions have been answered multiple times w/ multiple pics and illustrations. if we were real D***, we would have just left you hangin...but we didnt, we gave you the info you needed and had a little fun in the process.

ok, group hug....... im just sayinG...!!

 

I know you guys were just messin, but it makes it to where newer people don't want to ask question when you mock them and crack jokes about it. No big, I got mine off and it was BLACK!! Clean as can be now!! Thanks for the diagram

 

I cleaned mine this weekend. Here are some pics to show how dirty it was. For my air filter I have a K&N CAI if that would make a difference.

I cleaned the TB and inside the black piece that it attaches to

 

I just did the same thing. Mine looked exactly as yours did. I really didn't notice any increase in performance yet. Did you?

 

Mine was the same too, I wonder if the previous owner of my truck didnt have a k&n intake as well. You wont really notice a performance boost, but you will be getting cleaner air into your engine, which I believe should result in cleaner oil. I changed my spark plugs at the same time and I noticed a little increase in how well my truck ran.

 

no gains, I took my k&N off and went back to my stock intake at the same time. I can actualy hear my flowmaster now...haha Before all i could hear was my intake.
I do need to replace my plugs though, not looking forward to doing that

 

Very true. when I did mine, I couldn't get the hose off of the rear side of it easily so i just held it there and cleaned both sides of the butterfly. It wasn't too dirty, but I don't have k&n oil to deal with. Still glad I did it.

 

i was at the subaru dealership in Beijing getting new exhaust installed and I noticed that they were cleaning the the throttle bodies of the cars they were servicing, including the intercoolers and other interesting things...they had really good maintenance service

 

I poped off one of the hoses attached to it and coolant started to come out! so I put it back on real quick. I just undid the 4 bolts and did it with both of the hoses atached.

 

For anyone who is planning on doing this, if you have old spark plugs laying around they plug the coolant lines perfectly.

 

Thanks for this post. Good suggestion, very easy, and now a smoother idle. 69K and it was pretty dirty.

 

Search "gatorade TBS" there's a write up of a guy adding a spacer to his throtle body and he shows how to take it off. I'd link it buy i cant since im on my stupid Iphone.

 

Good write up guys. Just one question...why disconnect the neg side of the battery?
