You need a new gasket, especially considering the age of yours. Remove the TB, take the MAF sensor out of it, and scrub it with a toothbrush and a couple cans of intake safe cleaner. Spray the bejesus out of it. Dry thoroughly before reinstalling the MAF.

Thanks, guys...I found another topic in this forum and it has a link to: http://www.geocities.com/rivierareso...ecleaning.html
In this link to mentioned the use of Sea Foam. I want you guys to check it out and let me know if this is okay and will not harm the engine. Let me know thanks.

The sea foam did a great job at cleaning the carbon and deposits out of the vacuum system. It made a nice difference in throttle response. I did this around a week and a half ago and have had no effects other than a much better running engine.
