Cleaning my throttle body and this is what I found...

Thats what you get for using a "Dry" filter.

 

dry > oil

 

Oil > DRY

 

Sounds like everyone needs a snorkel

 

Lol I love people that act like thy know what they are talkin about yet they don't even know how the pcv works good stuff lol

 

Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated PVC, is the third most widely produced plastic, after polyethylene and polypropylene.[2] PVC is widely used in construction because it is durable, cheap, and easily worked. PVC production is expected to exceed 40 million tonnes by 2016.[3][4]
It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely used being phthalates. In this form, it is used in clothing and upholstery, electrical cable insulation, inflatable products and many applications in which it replaces rubber.

 

My tacoma has 250,000 miles with a volant intake and it didnt look that bad i would check to see if your intake or filter is leaking. i ususally rub a little grease on the seal to increase minimize leaks.

 

CLOSE ENOUGH!

Guess I know what I'm doing when I get home...

 

Thanks a lot! Great references!

Please read post before posting. Dirt ain't black.

 

Please read post. ALL of it. It is all explained.

 

If it's so plentiful and has so many uses, why can't we replace ours? GAH! Freakin corporate a-holes.

 

geuss I know what Im doing tomorrow..
I have cleaned mine before but never took off the TB.. So I geuss I will clean the PVC as well...

I too have the AFE drop in filter with the 2nd charcoal filter removed, and havent noticed it being too bad..

 

The 2nd charcoal filter is only for the I4? Correct me if I'm wrong. Just how I've thought about it since forever

 

Only the 4cyl. have a noticeable gain from removing it.. I just didnt see the need for it, and figured any little bit helps..

 

Subbed for later info

 

PVC - Penis Vacuum Chamber needs daily cleaning if i'm not mistaken...

 

It may be particulate getting past your air filter, but that wouldnt stick without moisture... The moisture is definitely from the hose that comes after the MAF and goes into the top of the cylinder head on the passenger side... (Is that the PVC?) Anyway, thats only there to allow the pressures inside the cylinder to operate on both intake and exhaust strokes efficiently. It also allows really hot oily gases (air) circulate in and out of the intake tract. Old muscle cars will usually remove the hose and install a tiny little filter as to prevent dirt from entering the engine, and still allow the movement of air "out" of the engine. I dont know alot about it, but I did port and polish then clean my throttle body very thouroughly, and removed the intake manifold for painting and cleaning.. that gunk was all the way down there. Since then I've taken the TB off again... and its still clean and shiny! So in my opinion, unplugging the hose from the K&N piping was beneficial. just be sure to block the hole in the intake, and create some kind of filter for the spot your hose went into the top of the engine. .

If Im wrong.... Someone will correct me..
