i am in the process of doing a throtle body cleaning will have a lot of photos if any needs any thing specific let me know while i have it all apart

this is on the green one with a supercharger <for will

edit parts are in the parts scrubber err i mean pot scrubber

doesn't seem like a mechanical problem, shouldn't be in this forum

no but this is 92-99 specific process for throttle body cleaning

and now on with the show


first make sure you have to many tools for the job so they have yet another opportunity to get lost




then start getting stuff out of the way and yes i did get rid of the MAF screen



nice and crusty in there



then get the 3 bolts out of throtle body and the 2 behind for the heat shield and throtle link support as well as the 2 on the front of support that go to the throttle body
and you end up with this




the back was in you guessed it shape



took the angle grinder with a brown scrubby to the mating surfaces

the only tools i used was a 12,13,14,15, and a 8 mm as well as a regular and philips screwdriver



the crud off the MAF



the MAF only held in with 3 screws



a close up of the back be for it went in the parts scrubber /pot scrubber



new gasket as well as new MAF screen and clip



round 1 with the part scrubber/pot scrubber



the cleaners of choice



after round 1



after round 2



after round 3



then it was on to the IAC wile it was rinsing and what not



ding dishes err i mean parts done





then reinstall with new gasket and MAF screen the way it came out make sure that you put the heat shield back the way it cam out or you will be tearing it back apart like i did



i tryed to get a shot of the heat shield /throttle bracket bolt set up but my camera was to big to fit in there the cruse cable is held with a E clip and i thought it would be a pain to get off but it was easy just take your time and i didn't even drop it

yes if i had spent more time on it it could have gotten it perfect but i ran out of crab cleaner and no extra tooth brush so i did my best for now the car has to be used tomorrow so it was a compromise at this time till i get a different one to go all out with but for now it will do the job well

and as Wren said the MAF screen dose have a pourpous so i put it back i'm not running anything near the power level it takes for it to be a restriction so in it went as well as when goneville was here he said my uneven idel was from no screen it seem so mutch better all around now so we will see

I like your parts washer It even dries the part for you

Yeah, but I hope the wife isn't checking out his posts.

I don't remember a 12 or 14 on our cars... can you please mention which bolts you needed them for?

Nice parts washer..looks like Wren'*

no 12 sorry the 14 was the nut for the heat shield on the throttle bracket stud setup

and the wife was siting there wile i did it
