Tb screen removal bad right ?

Just so it's stated. There are different screen sizes for the 3.8L GMs. Please don't think that you only need to find a 3.8L GM Throttle Body.

could you guys seriously figure out how to make one post, edit it, and not do multiples all the time? and spartan, do you not know how to edit something when you copy and paste it so it doesnt take up the whole damn screen?

itts just the last thing keeping you motor from getting damaged by FOD. its easy to put in, that metal ring that acts as the retainer. the screen sets in there and the ring secures it by expaning in the opening of the tb in front of the screen

Don't know if it would be bad or not, but from what I have learned is that the car manufacturers put in a lot of engineering into a vehicle (believe it or not) and if a piece is there it is there for a reason, it may seem and look like it is useless, but it is necesary for something. I just leave things as they are and fix them

I'd leave it in. It's the last obstacle to crud getting sucked into the motor should it somehow get past the filter.
 
Well I went to the junkyard today and bought one... I have to say my throttle response is better, the car runs 100% smoother and doesn't stall after driving it hard, then starting it back up. Made a world of difference. And no, it didn't take away any HP, if anything it helped 100%. My DIC even said I gained .3 MPG and that was driving it about 10 minutes, and going WOT once.
 
My screen was removed by the previous owner, and I haven't replaced it. Occasionally my car starts kinda rough, but it mostly does it after I fill up with gas, so I thought it was an EVAP thing. Then again I haven't had any EVAP emission codes.

I might try a new screen, then I'll let you know if it runs any different. If anything it'll probably 90% mental.
