removing throttle body - quick question

when you remove your throttle body is it okay to just re-use the same gasket, or do you need some kind of spray for it?

Or just take it off, put it back on, no problem ?

i took mine off without any damage and put it back on no problems...

i read that some people spray some wd40 on it when putting it back on

Thanks alot :thumbsup:

taking it off now and wanted an answer. Trying to clean my IACV and its a pain in the ass to get to. So was going to take off TB also to clean that while im there.

Just look at the condition of the Gasket you can get away with doing it a few times

but should just replace it as its cheap to replace

thx Tu88y but iuno where to get a new one, ill just take it off now and clean it. if any issues ill get a new one

Don't put any WD40 on it. If it isn't damaged.....just put it back on.

gasket try supercheap auto? they're most likely to be able to order one in for ya if anything.

Thx guys but i took it off, and it was perfect.
After i was done, i put it back on.

I completely cleaned everything and i still have an idle problem...

buy a new car

hahahaha

you sure thats what causing your idling problem?

Nop,

But it was suggested that i remove and clean my IACV, an while i was there i removed my TB, and cleaned them both, they are pretty much spotless now. But i still have an idle problem

i had anothe thread on my idle problem, but its only when it reaches full operation temp. If its just abit under idle is okay, if its on same place on the guage it just goes up and down, and idles like crap

when was the last time you service your car?

hmmm tooo long...
I really need one, dont know why i dont take it

And yes it does neeed new oil ><


Whats involved in a service ( not a major one or anything )
Oil filter + oil change , check fluids, new fuel filter, change spark plugs an stuff like that?

Because i was holding off on the service because my car is ABOUT to be turbo'd and i was going to change oil filter + oil + spark plugs. My car isnt driven very much now, because it is almost ready for the turbo..

But another thing, it does seem to run abit hotter now, think this is related to not being serviced in a while ?
