When was the last time you took apart the TB? Well, as they say, that's too long!

When you take apart the Throttle Body you will see WHY your gas mileage has taken a nose dive. From the butterfly valve back there is all kinds of dust, dirt & grime. I have resorted to doing mine every 3 months but it is a daily driver.

The process is pretty easy but wear gloves or your hands will be mangled!

Don't panic too if it takes a while, a few curse words, and a LOT of WIGGLING to get it back together. Is it worth it? You have a dead level idle and the acceleration is through the roof. Something that is a MUST before a track day.

Good luck!
