Cleaning drive by wire TB on 05'

J57ltr

New member
I'm Pulling the throttlebody to clean it to see if this is what is causing the car to stumble and die. Is there anything I need to know before I start like having it set in a certain position or anything?

Thanks,
Jeff
 


So I went ahead and cleaned my TB on my 05'GTP, here are a few pics.

It's really easy to remove and has a reusable oring gasket. There is a water passage so note that.

just so your on the right page here. its inside the tb tube that needs to be cleaned of all the carbon, the sides and back of the butterfly flap too.
 
Of course, I was thinking more of what the gearbox should look like. The inside was very clean. I figured everyone knew what a dirty TB looked like. Sometimes I start typing and get distracted and leave out most everything I was going to say.
