Damn throttle body is sticking HELP! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just like the title, my throttle body is sticking. I tried to wipe all of the gunk out from around the inside. Does anyone know what I could do to keep it from sticking? Thanks, Charles.

don't do naughty things with your throttle body.

Intake system cleaner. Unhook a vac line after the MAF, but right before the TB, and spray it in. Keep pulsing it to keep the engine barely running. I'd use a whole can.

Also check the cable.

i know it's not the cable, it's the TB. I'm turbo so I don't have a vaccumm line by the throttle body, just the IACV. So where should I inject the cleaner? I think I might try to loosen a hose clamp and slide the red tube from the cleaner inside the IC piping. We'll see, any more ideas???

Slipping it in past the clamp will work. Just make sure you don't spray it on the MAF.

Well the maf is before the turbo, I was going to slip it in the coupler, so it would go into the intercooler piping right before the turbo.

Get a Carburator cleaner spray and spray the crap out of your throttlebody with it. Inside and outside. That should get most of that gunk off.
