JBLOOM33 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i took off my intake today to clean my throttle body and i noticed that the butterfly is tilted doesnt sit straight up and down and it is tilted like 20 degrees. so like on a clock instead of it being at 12 and 6 it is more like at 10 and 4 with the top tilted towards the manifold and the bottom toward the radiator. i wiped it out and it still sits that way. i can manually push it straight up and down. is this the way it is supposed to be? or is it supposed to open and close straight up and down? if so how do i fix it. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a newbie, any help would be greatly apprecaited... thats depends on what kinda filter you have , dry flow or oil, and what kind of driving you do, just normal driving or aggressive WOT driving.

12'SROCK Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 how do you clean it for dryflow and WOT driving? well you clean it the same way for both its just how often you clean it. just use a towel (i dont like to use rags because they leave little pieces of lint) and spray the towel with some carb/brake cleaner about once a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_bnoon_SS Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) If you pull the butterfly and polish it, less gunk sticks to it. Even without a full P&P job it's worth it.
