So...
... the throttle body. For kicks I pulled mine out (from an early 1.7 liter) so I could clean out the TPS. I cleaned the TPS, but I'm underwhelmed with the throttle body itself. The revolving plate jiggles, to my mind, far too much. It's sloppy and wiggly and slappy. Also, I can't find an intake gasket anywhere. I'm guessing replacements are unavailable. Does anyone overhaul these? Or are there how-to tricks on making them nice again? I have a bucket of throttle bodies for my BMWs, and I'm making comparisons. Maybe I shouldn't. Last, what about the gasket? It's cone-shaped and impossible to cut from gasket material. What have others used here? Thanks for reading. |
