I've got a somewhat sticky throttle. Has anyone followed the throttle body R&R as described in this thread by r3dplanet? http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=206017? Any comments / lessons learned, or is there a better approach documented somewhere?
Looks pretty straightforward, but I want to see if anyone's given it a go before I start drilling into the throttle body. |

RC the fuel injector guy Marty? Yes, that's Russ' business @ConeDodger...but new (excellent) owners. After over 10 years of T/B use it got sticky and whistled (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I had a mechanic Smoke Check the unit, then sent it over to RC. They repaired the problem (shaft seals), and wouldn't take a dime from me. Said it was warranty. That's way beyond customer service perks ! Marty |

Phil Eslin at Albuquerque New Mexico is the go to guy. He has refurbished 2 TB’s for me and the car drives so smoothly. Phil has done hundreds of them. Top quality work.
