Throttle Body/IAC cleaning

I believe you diagnosed correctly
Short trips
Older prior owner
Ran like a top….minimum maintenance done thou(new ball joints thou!!)
Issues were
-Oil leaking like stuck pig(fixed)
-hot no start issue

pcv valve grommet RR-d
Old one wasn’t stuck, but nasty

no real oil usage
But not driving enough
Plugs looked fine(worn) zero overheating
Jeez OS
Might break out compression gauges
Once can run(this project(s) done!

 

Got the kid to help!!!!!
(After he saw how carb cleaner took off carbon, the night before (test spot))

 

Lemme clean up and
Post end results

 

Not perfect
But 120% better
Freakin 8 cans of carb cleaner/1 tooth brush/angled dish brush were collateral damage

 

-used acid chrome wheel cleaner on outside (30-45sec set b4 power wash)
-as y’all explained, wrapped up EGR valve with towel/plastic b4 power wash
-the ‘16 VALVE’ decal on the IM wrinkled off before pwr wash

glad Kid got lil dirty
New gaskets AND injector cups arrived today
Will be busy updating 2 threads tomorrow weather permitting

 

Zipped everything back up after work today
No missing/orphan bolts
Double checked all harness pigtails and hoses
Started after 2 cranks!!!!
No fuel leaks
LCE FP gauge reading 45lbs
Smooth/quiet
Getting up to temperature now

eager to see if this rectifies hot no start condition
Again, many thanks for everyone's advice/help on this project

 

Thank you.
