Cleaning Throttle Body
Hey guys, I've noticed that my idle sometimes fluctuates, and from what I've learned here, it could be that my throttle body needs a nice cleaning. (eGas car). I'm going to take the TB off to do a thorough front/back cleansing. So my question is, do the throttle bodies on the 986 use a gasket?
(Most of my previous cars used gaskets from the throttle body to the Intake manifold, and would require either replacing the gasket each time you took it off, or reusing a gasket/using gasket maker filling.)
From the posts I've read so far about cleaning the 986 TB, no one has mentioned a gasket...
Can anyone chime in on this? And if it doesn't use a gasket, what steps can be used to prevent any sort of air leak upon reinstalling the TB? and does anyone know what is the proper Torque spec for the TB bolts?
Thanks in advance!
