So i put on the BBTB i bought the other day but i can't seem to get it to quit sticking. It's right as it starts to open. I tried cleaning it with throttle body cleaner but it didn't seem to help. Anyone have any ideas? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks

 

suggestion: SEARCH

its been covered numerous times. Adjust the bolt so it holds the TB open a little.


Damn, I used my 1000th post on that. Well happy 1000 to me! cool.gif

 

Ok that makes sense but it's being held open it's gonna cause it to idle higher. I did do a search but couldn't find anything of help.

 

well a little turn on that idle screw doesn't really affect the idle that much...there is a small "buffer" before it will start affecting it.

 

Umm.. I don't have an idle screw. The only way to adjust my idle is with the throttle linkage.

 

yes you do. what kind of throttle body is it?

 

VERY lightly sand the contact points in the throttle body. i went around the butterfly just enough to make the edges shiny, and then attacked the line where it hits the TB bore with a wire brush. no sticking for me.

 

All TB's and BBTB's have a adjustment for idle. It's either a screw or a bolt.

 

Show us a pic of it so we can see if you've got an idle screw.

 

I don't have a camera anymore or i'd put a pic up. I looked all over it and didn't see a screw or a bolt. As for what kind it's i have no idea, i got it from Mk.
