1skss Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Just take off the TBS, its a waste of money. Ok so I removed the tbs and still same thing,any other suggestions on what should I do to solve this problem? Btw friend of mine sold his Ss so he gave me the tbs to install in my Ss so I figured why not throw it in but now it's really giving me a headache.

Cramer Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Check the gasket between the tb and intake. Also torque the tb to the correct specs. Then unplug the neg terminal for a lil bit and plug it back in. Also make sure the tb butterfly is closed fully before powering it up. Btw get rid of the spacer...........

Ok I will do this first thing tomorrow morning. Tb is tighten up as it should be there is no tbs in anymore but I am not sure how butterfly looks as of now but I'll make sure it's fully closed b4 I do this process.

1skss Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 you did plug the throttle body back in right? Yep...I disconnected it 3 times and no luck with or without tbs. Id preferred keeping the tbs even though allot of guys have said it does nothing but a darn whistle lol. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramer Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 If you over or under tighten the TB nuts it will throw you into REP. The torque for them is 10NM or 89lb in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
