[imboss2u]

hi guys

so happy now after months trying to find out whats been wrong with my idle

here rough list of what ive been through

1) cars been tuned twice
2)idle control valve
3)cam sensor
4)o2 sensors
5)checked for vac leaks (countless times)
6)changed all lines

I had given up thinking its because of the new injectors but it wasnt

i had decided to clean the throttle body which was filthy .. i saw a hose under the manifold that must of popped out..I missed this hose because you cannot see it unless you take the whole throttle body out. must of happened when boost spiked to 15 psi while tunning.

I cant be more pleased all for a hose, car runs perfectly no hesitation anymore . im going to get power run see if anthing changed i think it has

Nothing much? Hmmm. I'd say a rear mounted turbo is a little more than nothing much.

yO Phil,

is the ICV/TB clean hard to do? i'm not a mechanic by any means, but is it relatively easy to DIY?

Parra prestige are telling me that i need to replace these items coz there's a fair bit of carbon build-up....is this necessary?

thanks in advance

its very easy to do.
spray some carby cleaner through ur throttle body and use brake cleaner on ur iac. (carby cleaner is too harsh)

i actually removed the whole lot cleaned everythink.. was thinking about removing intake.. but read the write up and decided throttle body spray would be enough
