The packs went in easily, no so much for the TB cleaning idea.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Set out to do a throttlebody clean on my 2011 987.2 Cayman base model and to get it off looks like major. surgery. Am I missing something?. The 987.1 looks easy, thought that is what I’d find.….um no. Any one do this service - can’t seem to find any DIY videos or articles on the web

POST 4Original post

Why would your throttle body need cleaning? Inquiring minds want to know..

POST 5Original post

good question . I had an erratic idle while idling. Read where that could be a cause. I also read coil packs . So I endeavored to do both at the same time. The packs went in easily, no so much for the TB cleaning idea. I was able to spray cleaner into the end where I removed the rubber intake hose but , from what I could tell it looked pretty clean. In any respect that and the new coil packs ( which one or both) cured my idle issue . All is good

POST 6Original post

Last year I decided to go through and fix some of the issues my 987.2 2.9L had along with a PDK and gear oil change. I found the plastic tube running from the AOS was cracked and jumped into changing that, problem was that the intake would have to be taken off. It was such a pain that I even had to take the alternator off to get to one of the connections. It really is a bad design compared to the 987.1 from what I can tell. I had a 114k miles on the car at the time and the mass air flow didn't look bad at all.
