When placing a new throttle body to plenum gasket, do you put some sort of sealer (like Formagasket) on the gasket?
The previous gasket had a sealer on it. Thank you for your help. Peter |

Thank you for your help. Peter You shouldn’t need it if the surfaces of the TB and plenum are super clean. Torque down the bolts each a little at a time. |

Common spot for vac leak, there is a gasket that should be placed between there at least I have always had one on my 2.0 D-jet

A thin smear (thin!) of The Right Stuff can’t hurt.
