Sprayed it down with the cleaner on a cool engine, waited 20 minutes while I cleaned the airbox, MAF, etc, went over with a boars bristle brush and rinsed with cool water.

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.

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

since I had the airbox out, I covered up the TB with tape and plastic wrap. Also covered up all the sensor/electrical connections. Sprayed it down with the cleaner on a cool engine, waited 20 minutes while I cleaned the airbox, MAF, etc, went over with a boars bristle brush and rinsed with cool water. Dried with microfiber towel. Waited a few hours and then started the engine for 5 minutes and done.

Zook - your TB is an easy clean and takes 10 minutes with a spray fuel injector cleaner and cloth. Nessasary? On mine it is - as it has an ICV so I go all religous and clean it along with the TB every 2K or so. If I don't, I notice my idle begins to hunt around + /- 50rpm and the mid range 90kph to 120kph pick up seems better after I clean it.
